OK everyone, this is a little wordy, but stay with me.
As we came into Sunday I posted my thoughts at 16.15, looking at the facts, if we assumed NM was indeed going.
I will start by pasting this in first. ( this post is factual and everything I say can be seen in the RNS )
I am trying to imagine, that this is true, what has happened and what is happening.
Let's forget the conspiracy theories, by the let's sell it cheap brigade.
No matter what anyone says, the AGM was a success, this is because any other result would basically show that Solgold could not defend. They can.
So let's have a quick recap.
We are in the process of a redesign of Alpala to bring some of the underground infrastructure above ground to share resources with other mines. Why would you do this, unless they were pretty certain some of the nearby tenements are viable, as this adds costs at this stage, but saves costs later on down the line. So Solgold are thinking long term, about not only the construction of Alpala, but other nearby tenements.
Also we have been changing the BOD to increase our governance, and to increase the expertise of taking this to production.
So maybe this is the next evolution, and Nick Mather is handing over to a CEO that has constructed mines, and brought them to production.
As the BOD has to act in the best interests of shareholders, ( doesn't mean selling it cheap because some PI's want a quick profit ) this may be being done with Nicks consent.
Just a thought.
Now the relevant text from the RNS:
The Company will commence immediately a global executive search program to identify and engage with candidates that have experience in base and precious metals exploration and the construction of large copper-gold porphyry mines in South America, development financing and executive corporate management.
It clearly says that the new CEO will have experience of construction of large copper-gold porphyry mines, as in my post, I suggested that NM was standing aside for the evolution to becoming a producer, this is clearly stated in the above statement. Also Nick Mather is not out of favour, or he wouldn't be staying on.
All the rubbish printed over the weekend that NM had to go, was exactly that RUBBISH !
Also remember that we changed the mine design, so that a long term view could be taken, as to sharing infrastructure for further construction projects. ( let's all remember how huge this company is going to become )
Next funding, again I will paste in the relevant part of the RNS:
SolGold is currently assessing financing options available to the Company for the development of the Alpala mine following completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study.
It is clear that we have been putting together a CFP, and from this statement, it looks like we are nearly there, so no requirement for a JV.
All in the RNS .
Enjoy the fact checking.
