Today's price and large offering at $0.65 means to me that the investment bank's trading departments have been given a free reign at a new shorting campaign. These guys don't care about mining or positives, they just care about PROFIT. Will they be hung out to dry or will they continue their profiteering at investor expense?

Jim Puplava has said many times, stay away from the investment bankers. I personally would like to know what efforts were made at excluding the bankers and going with someone else like a royalty company or a major for funding? Or, was this deal time-sensitive, necessitating our getting into bed with the stock bashing whores?
