Wraype, the MRE was assumed at 330k, with greater figures being spouted up to over 400k from what i was reading. The market works on what is expected. People bought in advance, expecting these results, so the price rose from 22 to 40. The rise was due to gold going up, and people positioning BEFORE the MRE. The news disappointed. 150k fewer ounces is a huge disappointment in the resource. The grade, however, was better, but the market had priced in better. We dropped.
APTA is an interesting one now that gold is so much higher. However, a mine needs to be built, so what are the costings of that? I'm not interested in how much gold Orosur finds. I'm interested in how much they find that is economically viable to mine. Gold prices surge and dip. What happens when Ukriane war ends, Trump is out of power, and Putin dies? Does the market still value gold as highly? Remember, spot price is only relevant if you are selling your gold now. Finance companies are looking at what gold price may be in 2030 when some of our resources may actually be ready to produce.
