they decided to buy us - they will continue to they get us - with RX deal or without -
If shareholders from US Silver allow the deal to stand, it will cost HL more shares etc. to buy us and it doesn't matter - Market Cap 1.28 billion - Outstanding 285.30M - they had their board meeting and decided to buy an USSIF pink sheet Market Cap 85.15m Outstanding 62.02m its pocket change peanuts for them in reality worth more than their closed down Lucky Friday & one in a very risky fault zone in Alaska with had a long history of problems - incl. Putin who want it and BS who doesn't care etc. etc.
