Ryan Mee, CEO of Fulcrum Metals, reviews FY23 and progress on the Gold Tailings Hub in Canada. Watch the video here.
COMEX could be about to crack like it did in March 2020 with both Gold and Silver going No Offer for a good while because there's 200x more paper than there is actual metal.
Guys - HSBC have quit COMEX and taken their physical Silver with them - it's now in London.
Like Musk buying a Silver mine for Tesla wasn't enough - get ready ...

i gave y'all a 4p bottom (if it is the bottom) months ago after divining that we were being fed the same old bs from the bod where "short-term" issues would go on for a year or more (again) and told you i was out at the time (after 18 months or so of holding) - i don't think that's in the category of disingenuous.
the reality is that this board is plagued with pros who disappear after the bell and who already know the next news and when it's coming - hence the inexplicable run-up to 12p a couple of weeks before losing 2/3 of its value and the nomad magically losing his pen until 15:30 after they'd pushed many pis out and collected their shares at 4s.
as ever, pis on these boards have difficulty parsing words and their likely meaning - it's in the grey shades that the likely truth resides and it's hardly ever good news if it's grey and clearly not black and white - you need to re-read what has been said and paint the merest sniff of equivocation as being black because under this management it likely is.
three things need to happen here for this to become what many of us hoped it would become from some years back:
1/ betts has to go - his position is entirely untenable - he appears to have been on the **** for the last two years
2/ they need to magically (probably will on april 8th ........) fix the issue with the existing contractor
3/ they need to sell dugbe for the c£120-130m its worth at the current gold price
i happen to like crushed debt plays when the underlying assets and prevailing asset prices are swinging the right way but there are limits - hum's debt is now 3x their mcap if i have that right?
that's barely going concern territory and they're completely in the hands of a bank who already owns an astonishing 41% of the entire enterprise following their latest bailout such is the mismanagement here over many years now.
they clearly insisted on a $2.1k hedge last time around - what will they insist on now? point #1 above could be closer than you think ...
I wouldn't worry about posts on here forcing the price down lol - the BOD are more than capable of that.
As discussed, it doesn't really matter who is in the wrong re the dispute if the Gold isn't coming out of the ground - the bottom line is that it clearly puts the business in jeopardy - it cannot be argued otherwise.
Moreover, even if the BOD say they have secured another contractor tomorrow then I wouldn't, in the real world, expect them to be pulling sizeable amounts of gold out of Kouroussa ahead of Q3.

Last night and HUM have their biggest mine closed lol - you couldn't make it up.
Nice hedge of 1/3 of their output @ $2.1k this year too - I did warn ...
Agree with sentiment that this is likely to turn out OK re current dispute but they're clearly at terrible risk of default now and in the hands of a bank that are likely already in more control of this than the BOD are.
The main problem with the lower grade vibe of course is that Kouroussa was supposed to be an epic cashcow in the first three years with delivery at 120k oz pa instead of the LoM 100k pa because the early grades were supposed to be heavy so talk of low grade issues early on is open to very negative interpretation (as always).
