I am in direct contact with the Chair and have his direct phone.
In his first brief response to my contact he said:
"I am committed to unlocking shareholder value."
I will not be reporting any information he gives me directly but will, selectively, use it to back up or reinforce positive and/or objective comments on here.
I look at 20/30 Boards a day and the consistent pattern is for disgruntled investors who have lost money by inactively managing their investments, to blame management.
Scott and Christina could be fairly criticised for not communicating and engaging enough, but in my view if you only have stuff we already know to communicate it p0sses people off.
The trouble here is that you have a slow staged process on Cascabel towards building the mine and in the interim waiting for the first bid, in a metals and minerals market that has been notable for its dearth of M&A activity for 13/14 years.
And whereas under Nick we got regular spicy RNSs from all the drilling we were doing, we haven't had the funds to do that in the last couple of years.
And what people who have been demanding an equity issue to raise funds to do drilling fail to have worked through is that even to raise $25 million the SP would have to be discounted to 5p and the dilution would be 13/15%...
Which would push the SP down into the 4s...
I floated the ExploreCo solution with Nick, Ingo, Darryl and Scott in the past. Its a no brainer...
IPO ExploreCo on the sale of 15% of the shares...no cost to SOLG...puts a value on the regionals....raises funds to start drilling...sexy results from drilling...ExploreCo shares go up...and all the while SOLG SP goes up as well.
Possible alternatives include to use ExploreCo for a streaming deal on Porvenir or...
Sell off Cascabel and ExploreCo becomes Solgold Mk2...
Rinse and repeat...
