Yes, I agree Dan could definitely have handed it better overall with regards to clearly stating it to be a challenge to give specific dates. I guess he has felt pressure as a CEO to at least try to appeal to shareholders in some way by always giving some definite timeline. Most investors these days are just so impatient it is very hard as a CEO to tell your investors you have no idea when the final EA submission will happen. I can understand this.
Having said that, like I have stated before I still believe Keith is the real "invisible hand" behind this company and he is a very long term investor so he just does not care how long it takes to permit the mine. He has stated in recent videos permitting is a very long game and you just have to be patient if you get involved in these stocks. There really is no way around it. He has said the payday in this stock will most likely come when they will do major deals on the two flagship assets. If Keith actually cared about the share price day to day and he thought another CEO could do a better job then believe me, he would have fired Dan on the spot. But since he still has Dan as CEO tells me we are on the right track in Keith's mind. After all, most of us invested in this company due to Keith's track record in the industry. Nobody invested in this company because Dan is the CEO.
I really really doubt the share price would be much higher right now if we had someone else in place as a CEO. This company suffers like all the others in the entire industry due to a lack of investor sentiment. Like would it even matter if the share price was say 20cents or 30 cents or even 40 cents? I still would be holding on to my stock until we are either bought out or at least valued at a billion dollars minimum. Sure it would be psychologically a relief to have the share price higher but it really does not change this situation. Even at a slightly higher share price we would still be in the exact same situation waiting for a final EA submission and for major deals to be announced for Springpole and Duparquet.
I hate to say it, but we still just have to wait.... but like they say, good things come to those who can wait.
