I like the way they are going about business right now. Each project is being progressed and they are so far managing to demonstrate that there is gold and/or silver in each of them. They are taking two of these to MRE, which should underpin a higher valuation, when APTA comes in. They are also then looking to make new discoveries with El P, El Cedro and within Grand Pepas. Later on down the road, they will also look to do the same at LV.
This strategy ensures that newsflow is plentiful, regular, value enhancing and exciting.
Having this amazing portfolio comes with the nice headache of working out how best to use the cash and grow the company. We know that they are looking to JV, but want to drill each project themselves first to demonstrate value and get the best JV terms. Can't argue with that. BG has always said that the plan is fluid and will change as they go along. I guess it has to be with the portfolio that they have. So far, I think they are playing a blinder, and spending the cash well.
I think making new discoveries within Grand Pepas will be more value enhancing than stopping and proving each one up. If they can show that the area has a number of these "at surface deposits", then the market will get a sense of scale without necessarily needing a MRE for each one? The exception to this might be if they find something that looks like it has similar or larger scale to the existing Pepas deposit. You then need to have a real think about taking that to MRE so that you have something that is truly representative - the remaining deposits could sit as an exploration target?
Perhaps the best time to decide all this is once they have all the studies done for the existing Pepas deposit. If they can scale up an operation from the existing 30koz/year, rather than simply extending LoM, then why not?
Nice to have all these options and it all does make you wonder where this story stock will end up over the next 12-24 months.
