Potentially, personally I can’t see the mining industry affected too much.
When the military coup came around last month, the SP here didn’t move. Kodak dropped 20-30% but recovered instantly. Africa is ravaged by civil wars, military coups and multiple other factors. But the Gold industry seems to have thrived, not just with juniors, plenty of majors have taken a seat at the table.
Cora do a lot in the local communities but factors beyond that are well out of their control. I’m just focusing on the near term growth, even by the end of 2021, you’ll see a totally different picture painted here.
It’s all part of the risk/reward factor and it may be a reason investors avoid companies like Cora. But they can spend years bouncing between investment in the likes of Canada/Australia. I’d rather be invested into a project and company with sanankoro in Mali, delivering the goods time and time again, rather than a company in Australia doing maybe 3,000-5,000m a year releasing average grades. I’ve said a couple of times, if there was a replica sanankoro deposit being explored in the Victorian goldfields, the market cap would be over £100m. I’m after the growth and it’s coming :)
