where would we all be now if the board had not raised that cash at 17c?

In C&M at best, in the knackers yard at worst, they wouldn't have had the ability to finance improvements let alone have working capital left over.
Those who think 3.9 cents is bad then 0.0 cents is considerably worse, we dodged a bullet by having a CEO and BOD that understands first hand how quickly things can change and the need for a strengthened balance sheet the dealt with it, not to mention keeping out of deb and getting into production in the first place.

Don't mention this to some of more vocal critics it will have them reaching out for Valium , Lithium obviiusly doesn't do it ..
