Just trying to be helpful.
Many large investors in Petaquilla come from non-financial backgrounds, especially in mining and some will take advantage of this opportunity. I thought it appropriate to bring it to the boards attention in case others might want to participate. I did not consider it off topic since financing is one of the major issues before us.
Our people would be participating in teaching not learning. Perhaps if you review the backgrounds of our financial people you will be better able to understand their unique qualifications. They are listed below by position.
"Why don't you forward the information to the Toronto office and maybe someone might notice and get a little education. Maybe that's their problem? They don't know how to do it. That's the only reason it could be taking this long IMO."
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING DO YOU NOT FEEL IS QUALIFIED FOR THEIR JOBS, AND NEEDS TO,"get a little education", since in your opinion that is the only reason we do not have more financing in place? Whom do you feel would be better in the respective positions? Will you be attending the AGM and bring this issue to the floor?
For you information, several PTQ stockholders will be attending the sessions. I have an MBA in Finance from a top tier school in the States, but I am sure that I could learn a lot from these sessions, as they are specifically tailored to the mining industry and its unique problems.
