RE: Sub ÂĢ2m mcap, great assets, producing lithium, gold, Ele Oil, DRC $7.5MIL so I've bought in for 10-20bag upside28 Mar 2024 12:12
Bluey,
"by the time we are in any sort of position to produce i can pretty much guarantee gold price will be sub $2000." Drivel, drivel...
We should be producing in Burkina Faso in a few weeks. It is a good sign that we had artisanal miners digging on our acreage; they are not known for wasting their time.
It doesn't matter if the gold price is below $2,000; all that is affected is the profitability. Initially, our production costs will likely be higher, in the region of $800/$900 an ounce. Once we are at volume and fully mechanised, it is likely to be $300/$500 an ounce (grade being the variable).
"In Burkina Faso, we are starting to implement a policy for alluvial gold production initially. Some illegal operators had come onto the site and started to excavate pits, and we have had them removed, but we should not lose time in establishing our own, legal, operations. Hard rock potential also exists: our drilling in Burkina Faso had strong intercepts including 20m at 3.19 g/t gold from 22m depth."
What the higher gold does do is create more demand for gold assets, JVs and M&A. As RRR has indicated it has had multiple approaches for its assets.
If you followed your own logic then you would appreciate that RRR has lots of gold assets and the higher gold price puts in a good place. We have alluvial at Bilbale and in CDI.
Current gold price is $2,211.50 having touched $2,213.
