Let's answer that question. Before the Northern Dynasty announcement was made, I put forth two management companies(umbrella), Hunter Dickinson and The Lundin Group. The focus was given to Hunter Dickinson given the Big Chunk caldera. My personal "best case" scenario was/is for an umbrella management company to come in and essentially control this company. IT IS NOT A BUY OUT.
Until this past year, the companies(public and private) held equal ownership in Hunter Dickinson(collectively). Hunter Dickinson has reduced that transparency, and restructured things. In the past, Hunter Dickinson would be the one issuing press releases with regards to joint ventures. It is now handled by the affiliates(those under the umbrella)
There was a specific reason for me stating "buy all you can" on the date of that filing.
Let's review some things regarding how Hunter dickinson handled public relations in the past, and at the same time, see a couple of examples.
Most importantly, answer that question. I'm going to catch a smoke, and come back in a bit.
