Group Objectives

ShareSoc has agreed to support BIG to help individual Bacanora shareholders to communicate and work together for the best collective outcome.

We have the following objectives:

1. facilitating shareholder communication (both between themselves and with relevant parties)
2. helping shareholders to review and evaluate their current situation and options
3. acting as a shareholder voice to involved parties, to relevant bodies and to the press where appropriate.

The choices facing shareholders when it was formed were limited, and we can make no promises that its activities will improve or expand those choices.

Warning and a note of caution:

ShareSoc has to be careful not only to avoid making libellous claims, but also not to over-promise to shareholders about what might be achieved. It would be very wrong of ShareSoc to encourage irrational exuberance amongst shareholders. ShareSoc will do its best, but we will also continue to feedback to you our view of what we think can reasonably be achieved. ShareSoc’s role is not to raise expectations and we will not do so, even if some of our comments may not be what you want to hear.

Background
