Safetyman,
Once again you missed my point, I am not saying that the companies ARE the same, I am saying that potentially they are being VIEWED as being the same as other junior Tungsten miners. That is an important point, something that I am sure you understand, even if you aren't describing it at all.
Yes, granted we have OTHER assets, something neither of those other companies have and we are concurrently developing Tarouca and Regua and Regua will be the tungsten hub for both those assets, but I would like to see some infrastructure at Tarouca to minimise the amount that we would have to transport to Regua, which will minimise costs for transporting, but we don't need a concentrator there, just as much as we need to get rid of the big rocks and most of the spoil.
The gold and copper assets are great and once La Parilla is up and running, we should hopefully be able to get those up and running too. it shouldn't be too costly to develop San Martino properly, which will, hopefully, fund the development of the copper assets. However, I am looking forward in the future and I am not on about 3-5 years, by which all our current assets should be in production but 5-10 years. I am a firm believer in the fact that we shouldn't stop growing the company at all, unless it comes with a negative aspect to it, but we should be looking or hoping that MM is aspiring to build a company that is worth far more than 50 Million EBITDA a year. In my belief we should be looking at a company worth double or potentially triple that a year and for that we will need some or a lot of organic growth, such as buying other companies or assets that add shareholder value.
For example Metal Tiger have a large Tungsten deposit in the same region as La Parilla, should we develop it after buying it off them and earning more or should we let them develop it and we don't get the upside to that and risk a competitor?
I also understand the properties of the ore body, there has been detailed JORC reports and RNS' about it, and yes I understand that we don't have mud/clay like Wolfe do, but what enabled us to have that information? The money raised through various placings, something Wolfe, evidently didn't do too well, which has caused them all sorts of problems and something that people on this board have complained about happening. MM has diluted the company but he has done it for, IMHO, the right reasons.
