Q: I checked out Trevali Mining at the PDAC conference this week and noticed that it has over 800 million shares outstanding. Do you think this is a concern in the sense that they might decide to consolidate at some point. Also could you provide the fully diluted number of shares as well as recent insider activity and overall ownership. Thanks.
