Nobody knows of course about how the debt was paid. Usually by rolling it over. The Private Placement shares went out at discounted prices more like half the value a trading shares. A lot of the shares I think go out for services in lieu of cash for any who'll take the Certificates. I consider them worth ver little at present - you can't get then into a normal brokerage account so you can't market them. It may be a year or never before you and I can. The principals of the company I assume collect the newly minted shares also. . So between shares for services and discounted private placement shares I'd guess the cash received is well below the million-dollar figure you cited.

Very big need for something we won't get and have never gotten - a "Letter to Shareholders" by the CEO and/or our metallurgist Roberto Hernandez telling us where we stand and where we're headed.
