Its the market stupid...5 Aug 2024 10:40
For some you may see an unrepeatable opportuinty to buy at ridiculously cheap prices in the next few weeks...
US Markets being hammered by recession news....Tech Bubble bursting at last...?
Nasdaq down 17% in just 17 trading days...
Copper down 22% in 11 weeks...
But gold virtually unchanged over the same period...
The next big news we will hear is almost certainly a copper smelter deal for the remaining $900m costs to build the mine.
Not only does this mean the mine will be fully funded 18 months before the first sod is cut, but...
It will wipe away any residual worrues over the need for equity or convertible funding.
And for people who think the offtake and smelter deals are an expensive way of funding, just think what a $900m equity issue would do to the SP....
Also, the amount of metal being tied up will be a modest fraction of the total that could be mined in the next 50 years!
And, I expect the smelter funding to also have a Buyback Clause...
Scott says Cascabel alone is worth "a buck" i.e. 80p
And there is growing confidence that there could be more Cascabels when we unlock the regionals...
(Which could be funded by an offtake agreement for Porvenir...)
So as I've said for some time now...the only realistic risk to the SOLG SP is a wider market crash but that would only provide more opportunities for those who missed out on the recent rise...including funds, institutions and HNW Ecuadorians...
Because Cascabel won't be worth any less over the next 50 years...
Enjoy!
