RE: Ingo has been quiet. Perhaps CFP has been presented to Board....3 Feb 2021 13:18
I have a suspicion that the December Presentation chart has been subtly changed...however, on closer inspection...
The CFP and Fiscal Negotiations processes started in June 2019, but the PFS process STARTED in October 2019...all three are now scheduled to complete by end Q1 2021...
Offtake discussions also STARTED in October 2019 but are scheduled to finish later, in Q2 2021...
The DFS process STARTED in January 2020 and is scheduled to finish in Q4 2021, when the "Project Approval & Financing" are due, together with the "Construction Permit".
It is beyond doubt that discussions with the prospective engineers will already have commenced during the PFS/DFS phases, in order to inform the PFS and CFP, but will continue right up to the Q4 target.
This is beginning to feel real, but I still think that the way the SP has drifted makes SOLG a 'sitting duck'...the Chinese have been hoovering up global copper and silver and with the Biden Green Revolution, these two metals have become globally strategic.
Whether you're the Chinese needing to feed the smelters and resource the biggest EV market in the world, or 'major miners' who are running out of resource (the global unmanned gold resource is down to just NINE years, for example), somebody's surely got to buy this rich portfolio of metals whose market price is only going one way...
Jeffery Currie at Goldman Sachs is calling a global 'super' bull market in commodities with, e.g. a target price of $33 for silver and points out that EVERY global commodity market is in deficit, except zinc and palm oil...
Onwards and upwards...
