A good route for some of these companies would be privatization, if the money is out there. Bell appears to have gone the other way in merging with Rogue which was a private company having the best asset. That brought them the Mexican property(La Balsa) and a big reduction in share price - no help. If companies have what appear to be good economic mineable deposits and aren't being recognized by the market, while at the same time are having difficulty raising equity which only creates more dilution, why not try to privatize some of them and build mines rather than tread water and eat up G&A and dilute. As we all know - Copper is at $3+ for Pete's sake.
