I have learned many things about Gold miners vaing been invested in MTL for about a decade. I initially bought around 6p, over the years I averaged down so my average is now around 1.8p. So now I'm very happy.
Lessons learned:
1) It can take 10 to 15 years for a mine to become profitable after initial funding. (These are etremely slow burners)
2) Most likely there will probably be more funding required that will include dilution and debt.
3) I underestimated the difficulty of the Biox process (initial gold recovery ~ 50%)
4) Initially had an inexperienced team managing a "do it yourself project" (in the end it cost them more, they should have started with seasoned professionals).
So in conclusion, next time I chose a miner it will be in full production, with it's full financing in place and managed by experienced professionals.
I'm happy now but for a long period I feared I had lost my whole investment.
