Seat Belt On!!!!14 Nov 2020 10:23
Lots of stuff recently here. Just to finally explain the consolidation. 10 for one, means move the decimal point one place to the left. So I,000,000 old shares is 100,000 now. But the price has gone up 10 times. Net effect? Zero. However, this makes the stock more approachable to the punters as we are not dealing with telephone numbers here anymore. No more billions etc on a small stock.
As to the stock itself, what is going to happen? Well look at the BOD for a start. Its packed with old natural resource play veterans, that is good. History has a habit of repeating itself. Don't worry that the old owners of these concessions dropped them, they ran out of money pure and simple. Therefore the Richland boys stepped in and raised the cash to take this to the next level. They believe...
So what do we have? 4 concessions and up to 6 targets in an area that is a proven gold producing area, but hugely under-explored in recent years. The team running this is the old Aquarius Platinum team. They took a 20mn$ stock to over $4bn. I like that. If you read between the lines on the prospectus the gold is there already. Some of the drill results indicate serious gold bearing zones; example; over 100m at an average of more than 2grams per tonne is not to be sniffed at. The drilling program will be designed to flesh this out and turn it into something that can be characterised as mineable reserves.
And the price of all this at the placing price? around GBP7mn. Peanuts for 6 effective options on finding something like the Haile mine which has reserves of 4.5mn Oz and was purchased by Oceana Gold for C$850mn in 2015. I expect it to open quietly but given that management want to start drilling immediately, by guess is that there will be loads of news from the beginning as management increase interest in the stock by re-interpreting old data and starting a drip, drip drip of new sexy data as and when it comes available when the drilling program steps out and increases the likelihood of substantial reserves being found.
This should be a very interesting ride........ Anything under 4.0p/share is a steal. Don't forget the Market Makers are short!!! And then there is the mysterious Greenwood. He's locked in now for a year. Hmmm. Even though he's been diluted, he is there. He can't sell. He must love it, otherwise he'd be well gone!!!
