"Other times companies may use a reverse split to drive out small investors"

Very true! For juniors who have completely run out of roap (those at the end of their Plank) or who are recapitalizing in preparation for making a major change in business focus and completely exit the current business.

I do not see SPQ preparing to exit the Minerals Exploration Business any time soon. And we have our feet firmly on solid, though very valuable, LAND!
