The MCAP is too low for many institutional investors.
However an institutional investor would also note the positive changes in the last 12 months and be looking for the tide to turn as a consequence of the good work undertaken (more heap leach pads, changed ops team and consistent ore stacking).
The share price reflects the failings of the past including overpromising including the dire cash situation at the end of last year. The 1000oz drum being bashed every RNS does not help either. Realistic and honest projections are needed.
The price does not reflect ANY of the changes made. The share prices does not reflect the increase in gold pours this year. Or that the company appears profitable (no raises this year to date). The poor comms don’t help. The stuttering gold pours moving pits and with the rainy season, again don’t help. But again the gold pours have remained better than last year. The company appears to remain to profitable. And now gold is from a pit with better grades and now the rainy season is over AND there is another heap leach pad which should produce first gold in 2-3 months. Things should be on the up.
The next gold pour doesn’t have to be a new best ever gold pour, indeed it may reflect the fact leaching was during rainy season where recovery rates take a hit but as HarChris says a decent pour and we know things are moving the right way…
I’m sorry but anyone posting only one side of the story, you are either working an angle (to work the price down) or severely blinkered or battle scarred and letting emotion cloud your judgement.
I know this company is not out the woods, but it may just be about post a gold pour is a solid step in the right direction. The potential reward for getting this right is considerable.
Now - if the next pour is poor or not communicated (and therefore poor) I can be persuaded there is something fishy going on to drive the price of the company down (by those in charge) as very simply there are no excuses for a properly poor gold pour.
But that’s the thing, I can accept both sides of the argument. The good and the bad….
To all holders (and especially HC) I hope the next 2 weeks are good to you (ok…. to us cos I do also hold)!
