I talked to the CEO and I was very dishartened by his ignorance and cluelessness to what they were trying to do going forward. I finally asked him why they even invested in and took over Hawthorn Gold and he had no idea... I was speachless.

Regardless I still believe there is some hope albeit very little. I'm lucky to have bought and sold this enough times to not be out very much but I think I will keep a small position and see if the Chinese can't salvage something here.

The story now is a lot different.
