Sad... Although I no longer hold shares (was EXTREMELY lucky to have sold before BDE decided to become a talcum powder supplier)

What's the difference between a Tier I company and a Tier II company?

CANADA FLUORSPAR INC ("CFI-V") - Burin RTO Agreement Terminated
Brian Fairbank, President of Canada Fluorspar Inc. (formerly Blue Desert Mining Inc.), announced that the Company and Burin Fluorspar Ltd. have terminated negotiations towards completing the Reverse Take Over (RTO) of Burin by Canada Fluorspar as contemplated in the Share Exchange Agreement dated August 8, 1999.

The extraordinary length of time and the additional expenditures needed to deal with Burin and financial issues have contributed to this decision. Each company has agreed to be responsible for their respective expenditures made in relation to the Share Exchange Agreement.

The Board of Directors has accepted the resignation of Alex Harris, formerly President of Burin Fluorspar Ltd.
