Interesting questions you ask.

My view is that the rights issue is a 'last chance' for shareholders to partake in an equity raising before Amer International ask to buy the shortfall, as per this post: http://hotcopper.com.au/threads/ntl...-cards.2771841/?post_id=17784731#.VzzmEdIcyUk

As for the truck driver question, I'm not sure NTL would necessarily need a full time truck driver for the bulk sampling project. There is only a small number of truck movements per day, targeting high grade underground areas. It's only 20km down the road to OGC's Waihi processing plant, would it be economic for NTL to pay the fixed costs of buying a truck and paying a truck driver for that trip?

It would seem to me to be more useful to get a contractor to do that work - but that's just my view.
