None of us is privy to whatever negotiations have or have not occurred. We are all speculating plain & simple. If Silverado were a scam & had nothing- like Bre-X -(where even Pres. Bush & Cdn P.M. Mulroney got fooled) - there would be no negotiations - as stated sometime ago, perhaps some negotiating parties wanted too much & were unreasonable in getting their slice of the pie - we don't know. The process must be terribly complex. It is extremely difficult to find the "best bunch of bananas" - to use an analogy, to serve both the needs of the shareholders & the company.

I am sure, eventually Garry will make a wise choice that will be beneficial for all of us in the end - not only in the short run, but in the long run IMHO. No one denies that Financing is the key to our future! Until then all we are doing is spinning the same record over & over & over. IMHO

Conclusion: - We have to wait for the FINANCIAL FACTS
