Whoot Whoot!
This is a wonderful strategy that MSX is progessing with. Reading it as identical letters to SLW and ABX that they are being put on notice. Basically, it's a documented and publically disseminated cease and desist demand that given SLW's and ABx's non-compliance would allow for a seeking of damages an easier process when it come down to the T-zero on the Pascua question...that's option #1 (and represents more in our coffers down the road). Option #2 would be for both to comply with the request which would reveal the fraud outright; we know they aren't entertaining this option.
The wording of the following, especially in bold, is what I love:
"SLW's improper inclusion of the Tesoro Concessions and the Amarillo Concessions in its Pascua-Lama Project Technical Report dated September 9, 2009 and, SLW's related publications, are interfering with our client's ability to carry on its business as described in the Option Agreement and accordingly, we hereby demand on behalf of our client that SLW (and its employees and representatives) immediately cease and desist from repeating allegations of this nature."
This Notice sent out by our BODs will come back to haunt both SLW and ABX when we seek punitive damages for the obstruction of our company's business. They cannot fallback and say that they weren't aware, especially as of August 3, 2012.
Beautiful play.
