Yes they have some nice little exposures to Gold now, and the price of Gold looks pretty strong just now. I would be surprised if this didn't continue with the possibility of held rates or even a cut in the USA.
This one, could end up being a really good investment, especially if they floated!!
"M&FI also has a small investment in Toro Gold Limited, a private gold producer in Senegal. It's 90% owned Mako mine has been in commercial production since 26 January 2018. For the first six months of 2018 Toro produced 62,900 oz. of gold, which was slightly ahead of its planned 58,250 oz production plan for the period. The cash cost for the initial 6 month production period was US$745/oz against the planned cash cost estimate of US$875/oz, at the time of investment. The lead investors in Toro are private equity funds that, the directors expect, will seek a monetization event in the near future. Whether this will be in the form of an outright sale, or market listing will be guided by opportunities and pricing."
And from recent update..
"Our small position in Toro Gold has benefited from a valuation lift. Toro recently completed a financing at GBP1.50 p/s, above our carrying value of GBP1.00 p/s. Additionally, Toro has posted its first full year of production and earnings - both were above guidance."
So book value has already jumped 50%.
