Had a ponder about this over the weekend. In the first interview he stated that essentially the debt financing was on his desk. At the end of that interview, he also said that he was against dilution etc.. A week later the equity financing is released and in the second interview Marks response was simply that he did not want to have financiers looming over the project. Whilst a fair point, it was contrary to the first interview. There must have been terms that were restricting, or the financing itself was not as favourable?
Do I think it matters? No. -- In the end the same outcomes will be achieved. In business there are always unforeseen roadblocks that can appear at the last second, and the ability to quickly pivot, although resulting in more SOI, still gets us to the end goal of having a producing mine.
