Just recently they closed a $68 million financing with a 4 month hold @ 6.80 per unit. Thats some fairly serious money so I think this continues to be a good risk/reward scenario. Earth shaking stupendo news? Well I think the drill results are pretty decent BWTFDIK <G> I dont really like to tout small cap stuff myself, this is just the way I see it, besides I've owed it from .13 LOL. Several negatives have wieghed on this stock recently IMO. Embry mentioned that he didn't feel that China was a bad place for miners to do business and he thought Eritrea was a worse risk than China I read somewhere, the general correction in Gold shares and perhaps the association with certain humpy dump newsletters.
