Barbeck was a competent CEO. He raised money which makes him a better than most CEO for a microcap company. Not too mention, in my opinion he did a good job raising money on a small property that I believe is highly speculative and not great. I am very surprised at what he and the company have been able to achieve with a small sized but very average property.
If they do announce an R/S would you blame them. The new rules by clearing firms make it almost impossible to raise money if the stock is under $0.01 a share. Without money a company is dead which is even more the case in a funding intensive industry such as mining or expiration in precious metals.
If a company wants money they have no choice but to dilute. Banks don't lend money to small cap exploration companies. Barbeck did a good job. Too bad he is no longer around.
