You are right, there are very compelling reasons for negativity and share price destruction. Lack of progress, failure to deliver on promises and expectations, millions spent without tangible market likeable results (couldn't even complete a DFS) and the not wanting to 'dilute holders' spiel from way back - and yet an obese amount of SOI with still limited funds and limited inbound from some leftover equipment sales and as yet, still no funding deals and one gets very skeptical on such being attained.

Still holding - as to why, only as it is far too low to sell - didn't come for a few cups of coffee and may yet end up with a few cups of water from algae infected waters whilst management can sip on Cuban rum and smoke Cuban cigars and laugh all the way to the bank at holders expense. But wait, there's a plan, change of tack, previous issuance of con notes, no interest even in previously issued options, near zero share prices - what's not to like?? All against a back drop of good gold and copper prices against a backdrop of AAU's negative realities. But of course, just AIMO.
