RE: Money spent so far on Anza13 Feb 2023 12:38
Rob, Seingred has his views and brings balance to the debate. He is basically just saying other miners in jurisdictions similar to Columbia, with bigger war chests have x amount of value...some producing as well. He is not dismissing what Anza may become in the future, but merely logically pointing out that to reach similar valuations that Omi will have to accelerate drill program, majors to find more coin to push it on and perhaps bring it to production in time.
Basically to value Anza realistically against other South American peers and not projects in Australia for instance. I don't think he is bearish on Anza, he is invested here and obviously sees value at certain price points and I'd suspect that as you've stated the postcode is "elephant country" so he probably is just as excited to see the project pushed on. I'd imagine if Omi get to the point where officially we have 5m, 10m, 20m Oz then it's a different discussion we'd be having....no one can deny though if we can get a sustained consistent drill phase and find multiple strikes in other areas then Anza will be shaping up very nicely and surely that's what phase 2 will be all about, perhaps revisiting Apta, getting back to Pepas and drilling further south at more fancied areas. We are at the mercy of the majors timelines and plans but on the flipside the mcap is so low that if Anza is proven to be looking big (which our friend Ageos sees from a geo perspective) and if we can give it time to mature, we should all do very well. Also as portfolio pointed out, if Anza keeps producing the goods then a take out at some point wouldn't be out the question, doubt if it proves to be big we will be in the mix and as rightly points out, we will only know when the RNS pops out. I also suspect the only reason we are down here is because the drills stopped and we have the drag on new company formation. Get that out the way, drills turning again and hit finds similar to 1st Pepas results and we will be back off running. If we were still drilling after the last set of results, we'd have still dipped but I think we'd be a bit higher than where we are now.
