RE: Monetisation of assets😭😭😭27 Sep 2023 10:44
I probably unkindly call RRR's portfolio Steptoe's yard and the governance and communications the key stone cops.
I think the armchair investor summary below is quite fair
"There is much going on at Red Rock; a lot of holes have been drilled, licences applied for, statements and writs issued, but not much oil, gold, iron ore, lithium, cobalt or copper has been dug up over the last 20 years.
The company seems chaotic and aimless, or in the most optimistic scenario, cursed with bad fortune. Its ventures seem to be stuck in quicksand, whether it’s waiting for a favourable court judgement in the Congo (and if the company gets a positive decision, enforcement of that ruling); the IPO of a company holding some rainforest in West Africa with USD25,000 in the bank; the hope that Kenya will become a gold mining mecca; the need for a Toronto-based company to start mining a mothballed asset in Colombia in the expectation some royalties might materialise; or that Zimbabwe will be a simple and straightforward jurisdiction in which to extract lithium from. It’s all a bit messy."
