IMHO, through lack of promotion, SH value has been significantly diminished. Certain individuals close to SAN have known its "future" potential for longer than the Co has existed.
Communicating SAN's potential has been "trivialised!"
Whether it is based on "philosophy, oversight or outright manipulation" (Ned and CO, known from previous efforts as "master shorters." Control of Eskay Creek one example which recieved "significant" press coverage.)) is impossible to pinpoint, but a SP which isn't and hasn't stayed with its peers suggests all of the above.
The benifit here goes to all who continue to buy a significantly under-valued equity!
"Buy and Hold" will reward all SH's who refuse efforts to acquire their holdings in SAN, once again proving its value as a most rewarding investment decision upon acquiring equity in a Co with the potential of SANGOLD!
I expect one day in the near future, growth will emerge in a nonlinear fashion, suddenly and violently" to the upside!
Patience!
