That is verbatum the reply I got. What a crock of shit.

Dear Mr.,

Thank you for your email regarding the trading in San Gold Corporation (“SGR”), on June 14th prior to news and on Friday June 15th within the TSX Market on Close (“MOC”) facility. The MOC facility is a service intended to provide equal access and opportunity in setting the closing price, increased price discovery efficiency, and reduced volatility of the closing price for symbols eligible for the MOC facility.

The Closing Price Acceptance (“CPA”) parameter is used to determine whether or not the CCP at the end of the price movement extension is acceptable. For a TSX MOC eligible security the CPA will allow a 10% range off of the Volume Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) of the last 20 minutes of regular market trading and the last board-lot sale price from the continuous market. A number of factors contribute to MOC volume and volatility. Attached is a PDF of frequently asked questions regarding the MOC.

SGR’s last trade was at $1.07 so the trading that took place during the MOC at $1.03 are within the parameters of the CPA.
