Grand View Ventures (also known as Sunburst Minerals) took over the deed of trust on the 80% of the mine Sierra owned to secure a note, at that point the remaining 20% was still owned by Medina until Medina sold its remaining 20% to Sierra with the note due in 2018. If, Sierra could find a buyer or an investor, like OROT as a buyer or prior to them Red Rock Assets as an investor, to pay the note and interest the deed would be returned to Sierra and so the 80% that Grand View returned combined with the 20% Sierra owned would be the 100% sold to OROT. OC did a great job to connect with management and certainly he could not relate the details of deal but it sure makes sense. Looking forward to the PR, go SIRG...
