Look, I don't know who you are and I don't care. On here and elsewhere AB gets abuse from people who were invested six, seven and eight years ago and lost money. That doesn't apply to me or to anyone else recently invested. I am invested on the back the current assets and what they are worth now, not what did or didn't happen five or six years ago.
I fully realise that AB, his reputation and the history of the company are issues but that is why the value is there. If this set of assets were owned by another company they would be valued more highly. That means there is an opportunity here. In life generally and in finance in particular there is a phenomenon called "reversion to the mean". It applies in most natural fields and it will at some point apply here.
If there was some superstar management team in charge with a fantastic reputation for delivering value and you all loved them to bits, I wouldn't be invested invested because the assets would be fully valued or even over-valued.
As to who you are etc, why would I share what I think with some randomer who probably isn't invested? If this company decided to wind up tomorrow and enter into an orderly disposal of assets, it would return a multiple of the current market capitalisation. The downside for the CLN holders really is de minimis and for the ordinary shareholders it is only very slightly more. If you can't see the above, I am not interested, same as with Tragic and the other ex-wives.
Bottom line: the new licenses in DRC with VUP are the real deal. In due course, it will be seen that this is true. RRR could sell those licences tomorrow for significant value. The really big issue with those licenses is the grade. One of the things a mining company would seek to do is to move up the valuation chain by trading its assets to improve the grade.
If AB and RRR can flex it, the thing to do would be to sell Steelmin and Migori and then invest the capital in the DRC license: it may or may not be possible.
