1. Does BGold own Molly today?
Yes. The Molly Gold Project is currently owned by BGold Mineração Ltda, and Jangada has an option agreement to acquire it through staged payments in cash and shares.
2. Is Jangada paying for exploration and development?
Yes. Under the option agreement, Jangada is the operator and is funding exploration and development work during the option period. That part of the statement is broadly correct.
3. Does BGold keep all the profits while Jangada keeps all the liabilities?
No. This is where the statement becomes misleading.
Jangada's stated intention is to acquire the project, not simply fund it indefinitely for BGold. If the acquisition completes, the project would become a Jangada asset and Jangada shareholders would own the economic interest in the mine. BGold does not retain ownership and take all profits under the announced structure.
4. Does BGold contribute to future CAPEX?
At this stage there is no public evidence that BGold will fund future mine construction CAPEX. The current structure suggests Jangada would be responsible for advancing and funding the project. However, that is normal for a junior miner acquiring a project from a private owner.
5. What does BGold retain?
According to the announced terms, BGold retains a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR). That means they would receive a small royalty from future production if the mine enters production. They do not retain "all the profits."
A more accurate criticism would be:
