Although I do hold VAST shares and see it as a company that is possibly/hopefully on the cusp of a turnaround. I think it is still high risk, the copper market continues to climb, and I see no reason for that demand to curb but VAST as a company still has a lot to do.
It is producing copper which is truly advantageous! But a lot of the money raises and shares issues have got it to this stage, have been at the detriment of existing long-term holders. So there are not many friends on the social side of things for VAST. I believe it is selling it at spot copper prices, but the details of the agreement are not in the public domain. Also, they are reporting the sales and production figures bi-annually which means we might have some waiting time to find out.
That being said they are producing and getting the copper out of the ground cheaply whilst at the same time have exposure to a stable full of other assets, including the diamonds which I am hopeful of hearing more about in the not too distant future. I think some of the assets should be trimmed down and focus concentrated and 100% need to have a better finance deal than the current situation with Atlas, admittedly they have cash via the last raise and cash coming in. I understand that they are working on the finance and that is why they chose to pay Atlas in shares rather than cash. The tier 1 bank had reservations not about the copper mine but imo, about some of the other asset locations. So we might see some ring-fencing or separation with regard to the other assets.
I would not put all your money in VAST or anything that you are not comfortable losing but as I hold stock it is hard for me to say don't invest at all but there are other safer companies. You should be aware of the atlas situation, the sentiment is low but IF it is the start of a turnaround then it could pay off handsomely but if not the dilution and raises will continue.
The Atlas shares I suspect were forward sold but they are due to hit the market Monday I believe. Lastly, I would say that it is always better to invest in your own findings rather than what I say or anyone else says but I wish you luck nice top slice!
Apologies for the off-topic everyone else.
