You may be right that PDG would have experienced great difficulties trying to develop the mine itself. The problem for me is Maher's admission that he negotiated with Argonaut without even considering whether any other potential suitors were out there. By operating as he did, he betrayed the shareholders who loyally stuck with the company during its difficult years, and ensured that we would not receive true value for our shares. Though, it's possible that he negotiated this sweetheart deal under the mistaken belief that it was Valentine's Day.
