Hey CC,
My 2ps worth below.
Disko and Dundas are very different plays, but both still matter.
Disko has big upside - nickel, copper, cobalt, PGEs - but the KoBold JV didn’t deliver. Now that 80M owns 100%, they’ve got a clean slate. Could they drill it themselves? Possibly, on a limited scale, if GreenSwitch starts generating cash. But realistically, they’ll need a new JV or farm-in partner who can do it properly. And with metals prices for platinum and cobalt ticking up, the timing’s getting better.
Dundas is a different beast - it’s fully permitted, high-grade ilmenite, and basically production-ready. But ilmenite prices have been soft, so it’s parked for now. It could be sold, JV’d, or even advanced later if cash allows. Think of it as a strategic lever the company can pull when the time is right with the caveat that they will need to restore confidence in resource and grade folling the debacles...
So you’ve got:
• GreenSwitch = near-term cash (fingers crossed)
• Disko = big exploration upside
• Dundas = de-risked fallback or funding option
It's far from perfect, but the structure’s better than it was a year ago IMO
