Ann: Trading Halt , page-55

The timing is strange. The potential explanation for it is that they were offered an opportunity to purchase something at a bargain price, or a similar kind of a deal. Would they want to do a placement just before the anticipated sp increase on announcement of a gold pour and production? Probably not.

I hope it's not yet another gift to "family and friends" at a 40% discount, just before the sp is expected to run. We have seen it done by this management. For me this would be one time too many to forgive, and I am serious about it. This would be the time to bring this matter to the attention of the regulators. I agree with GC that they did not ask for a trading halt in the past, so it is likely to be a "bigger event", for a bigger and better reason than would be required if they just experienced a technical problem with the plant. To conclude, I am expecting good news, but I will repeat, that the timing is strange.
