Can anyone offer a good reason why anyone would buy $44.3 million worth of debt from someone, especially when it was still not resolved in court? Apparently, the two properties of Dynacors mentioned below, contain the Acari mill in which SLI has had ore processed at in the past. These properties/subsidiary that Dynacor sold to the director for $1, also seem to have contained the ~600,000 ounce of gold unofficially estimated resource of which is suspected to join the Tesoro. There have also been historic data from Dynacor speaking of high grade gold pods and off shoots of veins, grading ~5 ounce gold per ton from this property.
