Pretty darn simple, SEC Guide 7 is a requirement for public reporting mining entities. 1 day reviewing the form, SEC comment letters, and other company filings would give CFO the basics. No excuse for this level of incompetence.
Second, SEC doesnt have resources to review every single reporting company daily,monthly or even annually. They do review all reporting companies every 3 to 5 years minimum from what I understand.
Thid, as 1mandband outlined in several posts, this company doesnt follow SEC guide 7, and its references to NI43-101 reports are also problematic.
I do not understand why every where one turns whether 8k filings not made, reporting guidelines not followed, etc, there is always a defense for these clear indications of the limited ability of this CFO. Considering they had CD financing it was even more important for him to manage perception.
As far as CD holders relationship to CFO, yes I have no proof of anything untoward, I just throw out my opinion hard to believe with all the money flowing around this company that CFO not making more.
Is there anything concrete that indicates CFO was victim of "smear" campaign- and in any case CFO laid the groundwork for criticism.Maybe you are correct about some personal feud- but even more reason for CFO to not go overboard on promotional claims.
In any case, CFO would be wise to de register the company pronto- if SEC engineer office review their filings and press releases, it will be quite costly answering their comment letters and the filings that would have to be re stated.
