Tricky challenging times indeed here. NM cant be that bothered about the SP or else he would up the PR (one would have thought) - he's also one to 'stay cashed up' this hasn't been the case right now, so I personally can only assume/hope he has something up his sleeve.
Solgold 'Tweeted' about Barricks interest in buying a Copper explorer today - my personal opinion is we would be a perfect fit for Barrick - read the article they are not worried about jurisdiction and are looking at South America, if they want to challenge the big Copper boys then Solg could be a stepping stone for them to mount a challenge, not to mention the piles of gold we have.
So is the tweet a message from Solg, to hang on in there ? personally I doubt it - we are beyond the period of Solg caring too much about us PI's, this is a big boys game now - but hang on ….why tweet then - a message to BHP, Newcrest, the Chinese !, I doubt it again as these big players have their finger on the pulse and hardly need a tweet to inform them that their are indeed deep pocketed suitors out there.....so again, why the tweet ?
All in all the Ecuador situation, CGP mess, lack of new licenses has done for us this year - compounded with Copper having a bad time. All is not lost though, Ecuador needs our dollars, CGP want to be sold, Licenses should be forthcoming (if the new Mining authority pull their finger out - get the concessions map sorted and start playing ball, Copper should also correct upwards but playing the commodities game is a challenge at the best of times - as most here are only to aware of)….so better times lay ahead.
I hate the news blackout - call it what you will - the rock chip samples - and RNS's releases that are regulatory compliant only ! but that's the way NM has chosen to play it - goes back to my first point, if he was that bothered about SP he does have circa 10,000 core samples per month he could report on from the last 9 mths of so !
Newcrest seem to have cooled a little on Solg - their annual report sited x 5 Tier 1's - but Newcrest are only a shareholder in Solg, they don't own us - so maybe they don't report in their annual report on all of their significant holdings, BHP we are lead to believe are still standing next to us shoulder to shoulder - so any monies we need shouldn't be that hard to procure, they may want in cheaper, but we do hold a streaming card now, which may force the price of any raise up (25p-30p anyone ?)
All in all - its been a ****e year for Solg SP wise - but who the hell knows whats going on behind the scenes
2020 is Solg's year (he says timidly - being wrong on the last couple of yrs !)- I only need to be right once though :o)
Bought another 32,653 Solg today
Good Luck guys and gals
