I doubt it would matter what mine they got involved with as far as you're concerned. You've made your opinion clear. It's cool though....I'm waiting it out for new announcements:) Go GDSM!
GDSM obviously feels that their money and efforts will be able to bring the Azurite into production more quickly than the Gold Star. I think it would be beneficial for them to focus their efforts on the mine that they think can be placed into production more quickly; thus, I believe they are going about this the correct way.
I disagree with you on your thought that this is currently a pump and dump. With the sparse PRs, there is no pump involved. A true pump and dump company will release PRs at least 1-2 times a week. That isn't the case with GDSM.
