I'll have to disagree!

If after 12 years of programs and project advancement only yields us between $1-1.25/share....this would be a failure. 

Many shareholders here have higher averages than those buyout numbers! These investors will be losing money. Elmer said he wants all shareholders to win! No one left behind was his message...so $2 would need to be the minimum we accept. Attach VD with it or sell the entire company. Many don't want to wait another 15 years of their life for Elmer to find value.

I doubt insiders were waiting all these years and delaying the sale further for more value add, would agree to 500 million US when this money was achievable several years ago! 

We achieved $2.65 as a single asset company with way lower copper pricing!! Also, SC was less drilled and developed those many years back but still achieving a billion dollar company value during those times.

My opinion.
