Wondergoals, the Company should never have listed on AIM in the first place as the market is hopeless for explorers!! That's a decision inherited by MC. Don't forget there was a 5 year bear market with gold dropping over 40% and the HUI Index of explorers and Condor's share price falling 90%. There was no point in spending money on a TSX listing and incurring extra operating costs (compliance fees, quarterly accounts) during a bear market. The market has stabilised in the last 2 years, gold has formed a good base and is in a trading range between 1150 and 1,350, technically looking good with higher lows. However, investment sentiment is still fragile, but now is the time to list on the TSX.
The listing should be before year end because 1) the interims contain quarterly accounts, which are required for the TSX, they are not there by accident 2) see DGF video, there is a massive hint at a TSX listing
The OTCQX trading, it isn't a listing, costs around US$25,000. Very small for North American exposure for a Central American asset. it is okay but a questionable decision. The main prize is TSX or TSXV listing, see what it did for Mariana Resources before it was taken over this year. Sol Gold got a secondary listing on the TSX in June 2017.
The Company is being managed to take through to production. You can't really say to the Government "give me the permits, i am a credible operator" and in the same breath say " i am going to flog the asset'. That said, La India is shaping up to be world class and whether they like it or not, my best guess is they will receive an Approach or bid in the next 12 to 18 months. US$700 oz all in sustaining cash costs, production up to 165k oz p.a.and an asset that can double to 5M oz gold. the strategy is correct. it is tragic that this BB is overly focused on permits, they don't really matter that much, there are other valuation triggers.
