Thanks. I guess. Not sure where you were going with it. The idea is that Cliffs is going to take it all for less then we'd like it. From Sudbury wrote this on Noront board which gives a good idea where Cliffs is going and the result of FWR's CEO underrealizing his company's own value. To avoid repeating Mac's shortcomings, SPQ shareholders need to coordinate the end-result price. Then KWG shareholders need to, then NOT's, then FNC's. I was posting on FNC board, that I still don't grasp the importance of chromite in CLF's long-range game plan. It may be that none of the Jr's with chromite will be around by winter. US Cliffs will own it all.
I'm winging it here, cause I dont know what can be done. By winter, Canada could lose out on their own chromite. Until the Canadian Government decides they want Canadians participating in the ROF, the US Cliffs will own it all. Could the Canadian govt give incentives to encourage Canadian-owned majors to step in? Could they guarantee infrastructure? How many investors here care? How many feel that as long as Cliffs gives enough money to satisfy the almighty wallet, screw nationalism?

Market cap
FWR was taken out for $240 million....those shares tendered to Cliffs are now worth about another 12% higher....too bad for those who believed NOT management...something about you being better off tendering to NOT, rather than to Cliffs
The recent offer for SPQ puts it at a market cap of $109 million....add to that the intended offer for KWG at $100 million = the market cap of NOT at about $210 million....and that is for primarily 53% of the big daddy deposit
That would mean if NOT wanted to make a run at SPQ + KWG, NOT would have to give away 50% of the company
....and NOT calls itself the king of the ring....first with a chrome resource.....blah, blah, blah....biggest exploration budget....well, we certainly do spend the most....
They run these advertisements....go out to supposedly promote the company.....fall short of even filling the recent PP.....and a flow through at that
When NOT announced the PP....they used a term like ....on a best efforts basis...and allowed for about a month....really showed alot of confidence....afterwards, the stock price was allowed to decend.....down....down...down
At around the same time, Hoov and Glorieux meet with management....since then, we hear little from them.....as the share price goes down....down....down
And some dare to short NOT...by about 1 million shares....the only one's making money on this play over the last while; about a year now since we were at $3 with the great news...the results of hole 49....a tripleing of the resource....so anyone who bought on that news....well, your down....alot....and if you shorted NOT, well, congradulations for a good read.....(wink...wink)
And with so much supposed optimism....the blockade gets lifted....the throne speach....the deep drills...and the share price goes down....and the short positions increase....
Then NOT comes out with some news....infill drilling......with great grades.....and the market puts out a big yawn....a blown chance to burn the shorts... perhaps with a comment about how far down they are hitting mineralization.....but, no....not their policy to report on visuals.....so the stock keeps going down....and the short positions increase yet again.....and the shorters make more money yet....
We're becoming like the Euro of the small caps....just a great short
And here we sit...with a market cap of about $210....less than what FWR was taken out for....and about the same as what KWG + SPQ will be trading at tomorrow
