Not to prove or disprove the conspiracy theory, but the fact is that these execs, and this company in general, stands to gain 100-fold+ by success over failure. I've known several executive management personnel over the years, and the little money they might obtain through continuous dilution of a stock of this little value is nothing. My take is that they're in it to win it; the only way to do that is to discover opportunities, and capitalize on them. Now, they may not have made all the best decisions the past year or so, but I do believe that they're trying hard, and that they stand to benefit long term by getting the ball officially rolling on revenue generation. I'm not sure anyone knows how the GTL is coming along, but hopefully this is for real. Because if it is, it would bring the kind of shareholder interest than could really bolster this stock in ways we haven't seen. And, it could also allow the company to raise enough revenue to support ramp-up on the Escala mining project. Just my honest opinion, for what it's worth...
Now, if they can just get something going...lol
