Sounds very fair-minded, BUT, what if George Bee, ex-Senior Kinross Manager was a plant. What if Kinross worked hand-in-glove with our ex-beloved Management to set up a pre-ordained giveaway deal? What if Kinross colluded to fleece you and the rest of us retail investors? Perhaps an open mind on this is a good stance until we get to the bottom of this smelly situation!

There are any number of theories that could explain what happened here, but our task at this point should be to focus on the facts and keep hammering away at them until someone high enough up the chain gets the message, and something gets done.

1. Fiduciary duty. The deal was premature. We didn't need to sell into a weak market. We had plenty of cash and lots of land left to drill.

2. The deal was made ahead of the Mining Law which by all (but one) account is friendly.

3. Options granted mere days before the deal was announced.

4. A large private placement that skewed the democratic process.

5. Drill results & material data not released in a timely fashion as per law.

6. Unusual pattern of insider trading just before the Mining Mandate was released.

Conspiracy theories muddy up the waters. We need facts, and most of all, legal opinions. Conspiracy theories can wait for the soon-to-be released book. Reserve your copy at Amazon. Like our Board of Directors, it's sure to sell out.
