Nobody knows of course about how the debt was paid

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.

They never have audit money but they are doing some operations on the site. There is no detail of expenses in the reports filed.
Show me a line for "Diesel Fuel" or "Cyanide" Won't find it.

Today saw surprising strength early then what I'd consider a more normal reaction to the confusing press release - weakening price and a close down 20%.

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.
