Yes I c an understand the crypto angle, although that would apply to all stocks. I hink your second point about timing is more relevant. I seem to have a habit of investing in stocks several years too soon. My second largest holding (IoT, cybersecurity, VR training), which I invested in 5 years ago, is only now starting to take off.
Mining stocks have this problem though. They are long term projects. They need cash from the beginning but only start to make money after a long time. And people hold off investing until that money is coming in, or at least is guaranteed to. I suppose also that EMH and other miners need proper long term holders, and so many people on the markets these days are short term traders.
But one thing I like about EMH is that it is relatively safe. Nothing is ever guaranteed, but of all the mining projects in the world, this has to be one of the safest to be invested in. It is given that there will be offtake agreements. And the mine economics are looking great. As is the potential production capacity. It's going to be a Goliath of a mine in the energy metals sector.
