Gold/Mining/Energy : Greenstone (GRERF) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I must admit, I am not thrilled about this financing. GRE said they had enough cash (and I believe this to be true) so why dilute the stock by 10% plus??? Especially at today's pathetic prices?

I have to assume that GRE figured there might be cash problems down the road, but they didn't want to say "we may need the cash", fearing that in this market, it would be received as "we are insolvent - chapter 11 imminent!". I can understand it, but I would prefer they just spell it out clearly. They make it sound like they are only doing this financing in response to false rumours, just to pacify the "nervous-nelly" shareholders!

As a shareholder of the less nervous variety, I believe GRE is severely undervalued at $2.50 Cdn. and I strongly oppose dilution at this ridiculous price! GRE's management should have done the same.

Garth.

Mike, Those unsecured notes are a real steal! Bet the holders of the other warrants are PO'ed. Sure seem to be real cheap.
I think this whole issue was to keep some of the instutions happy rather than a need for cash. We'll find out with the annual report coming out shortly.

Todd,
