HB,
I share your sentiments , re local Whitby etc, but disagree re;
'Even if Sirius had raised $600m at this stage, the balance might still have been a problem'
If that had indeed been forthcoming and the company had shown it's hand as to what was actually offered from other parties, ie Consortium, and why the BOD's turned it down, you may well have a valid point.
Unfortunately, SH's have been kept in the dark like mushrooms and for a very good reason, the company is more than happy to accept a takeover IMHO.
Most particularly when Directors and Employees are saved, all of course at the expense of those whom have funded all as to where we are today.
My own belief is that had the Shaft completion funds been made available we would soon be back on track with other traditional forms of capital raising, ie long term debt via banks, as the one and only major risk hurdle would have been largely eliminated.
That is the issue that cannot be swept under the carpet, and that is the issue we must expose.
