I am quite certain that the "someone" you refer to in paragraph #6 of your post, would not have to go to China for any type of financing, either STF or LTF.
Banlish,with respect I like alot of your post(the half full theory)but have a few questions for you. How do you know Dotson is out,if he might have a position with Copperking or if he has retained an attorney? I don't because after the big(and yes it is big)shakeup in the management of Copperking nothing that I know of has been released by the company. Isn't that something of great importance to the company and it's shareholders worthy of a PR(how can it not be)? Well,I guess thats why i'm a mushroom.IMO
Your limping theory sounds like what I have said before. If it make sense to just let the mill continue to run, let it run. It does not make sense unless something really big that is causing the problem. This is a production company and no other companies that I know of will let tool to shut down for weeks just to repair minor problem. I sense something fishy about this. I starting to believe in one of the poster here saying CPRK never actually get the % cucon that meet the market standard.
You also mentioned the sample. One question for you, is this sample being analyze by other party rather than CPRK themselves?
