but aurc and abvg are part of same montreal promoters "parent" company: midland baring. dan ryan is to abvg what gerald parkin (now slava k) is to aurc: the frontman.
I think the truth is both are flipping assets around from some of their Russian buddies with zero intent to mine gold rather to sell shares. A sham/scam from the .pk public investors pov.
IMHO those who buy cheap tsx.v stocks (gold, oil, uranium) October-November 2008 will not regret doing so in 2012.
