SUMMARY

Before the Earaheedy discovery, the company had 530m shares@10c for a $53m market cap. Given STK and ZNC‘s failured spin-off their Earaheedy assets, the company’s Earaheedy asset is perhaps only worth the $40m in-ground money. The likely outcome would be STK takes the whole area.

The Western Queen Gold Project has sat on its hands for many years.
