Mr Steak,

in the absence of any real company business plan or visibly productive steps forward, the optics are becoming increasingly more convincing for one to arrive at the conclusion that AE's "end game" is to ultimately stall for time and cash in for as long as he can before he (and his cohorts) are eventually forcibly removed.

The appointments of Mr Morrison and Mr Richards appear to have been a strategic move by AE to further insulate and barricade himself from mounting shareholder discontent and what will ultimately come.

The optics also suggest that AE has not demonstrably appeared to be overly concerned with the company's share price valuation (or the number of phantom shares he personally holds) for a very long time relative to the measures he has taken to ensure that "Eveleigh Geological Consulting Inc" receives a guaranteed hefty salary every month in the absence of any real company progress.

A seriously committed CEO would presumably have done his/her best to better leverage in-house talent like Ken Stowe and better utilize someone like Mara Strazdins for aggressively spreading the Albany product's message to the market-at-large.

Refusing to entertain a financing proposal from shareholders and refusing to openly and directly address their concerns while also failing to aggressively pursue alternative strategies that would improve the company's value give the appearances that AE more resembles an "empty suit" who has not been working on behalf of shareholders or seeing this project through to a successful outcome for all.

I am happy to be proven wrong, but the reality that has unfolded under AE's stewardship does not support anything to the contrary of the prevailing dynamics that have been observed above.
