The drill results were bad. Agree.
Not only that, but Mexus issued a PR skewing the drill data in a fraudulent manner, averaging selected thin intervals from drill holes hundreds or even thousands of meters apart. And then the story (from people like Don) was that Argo backed out of any further drilling, not because the drill results were bad, but because Argo had other projects to spend the money on. Well, I am sure they did have other projects to spend the money on.....but the decision was an easy one, based on the absolutely dismal drill results.
Mexus is dead, and many people lost a lot of money due to the lies and hype of the bullies and enablers surrounding PT (some of the names you mentioned)
