Nickel_investor,
I don't know whether you understand the history or assets here. I suspect not. Nobody is investing in this for the historic financials. Literally nobody at all. So there isn't really an awful lot of pointing out what everybody knows already but is not the reason for investment.
What people ARE investing in is the potential for gold to remain firm or even increase from here, the new equipment that is now on site that is expected to significantly increase ore supplied to the plant, the access to higher grade ore bodies, the CPRs due to come out and, most significantly of all, the potential to access more significant fund to put them on the road to producing more. All this for something that can just about break even on the tiny production that it has managed up to now.
Given the new equipment, gold price and higher grade ore, the company would eventually be able to fund the improvements to achieve much higher production levels but accessing funds via debt would significantly speed this process.
Nobody is saying that there is no risk here. There is. But it is the same risk that has been here for years and the environment is shifting to the benefit of operations. Not for widows or orphans but certainly worthy of a punt and if it does come good then they are sitting on a resource that is already 5 times the size of AAZ, for example, with the potential to be 15 times.
