Hopefully PTQ gets some cash out of any deal and then they can use that money to bring the leech pads on stream and use up that backlog of gold piles...and possibly have the cash to develop LP so they get their concessions back and have enough to bring it into production (although I think LP is going to suck up a lot more than the numbers being floated by the pumpers).
There are plenty of better bets out there than PTQ when it comes to hoping for gains from an operating gold company. Shareholders will dump into any share price spike.
