As inexperienced and frustratingly inept at running a producer as the previous management team was, at least the optics of being a competant explorer was somewhat of a priority.
Now the problem other than the obvious astoundingly brutal share price performance is what everyone wanted. You!
A new management team to unlock the potential and become valued as a mid tier producer was supposed to be your priority.
The problem now is that the opposite has happened as the exploration potential has been marginalised and production guidance and head grade are less than desired not to mention the anemic flow of nothingness from the publicly listed going concern that you run.
Why do you even need Tim Friesen at this point? To communicate what with whom? Or is having a salesman with an MBA in the handbook?
Some people are saying 'The new guy sucks'. Yeah you George. How about giving the 99% something interesting to latch onto. I know, it must be tough being brought in by the controlling interest to manage the investment but think of the long term shareholders who weren't at one point in their existance bailed out by the very corporate kleptocracy which makes the product you are supposed to produce so intrinsically valuable.
