RE: AMC vs HZM16 Feb 2021 17:22
MM64 evidently from this message board, there is a percentage of holders who are not happy with the current share price, me included,
But I think it is fair to say that HZM is further down the mining life cycle then AMC through historical reasons such as availability of mining data and good management skills, but prior to the finances announced for HZM, AMC share price was actually outperforming HZM. In truth, both AMC and HZM were not doing so great in the past 4 years, a reflection of what was happening within the commodities markets during that period.
I may get crucified for saying this but I would go as far as to say that RY and the BOD actually have done a respectable job of paying themselves a wage, keeping the lights on, exploring (all be it at the expense of shareholders), and still only issuing 1,380m shares to date (I know there are warranties to be included which may equate to another 50m or so).
The delay announced isn't great, however
- at least the threat of the license being taken away from AMC has been derisked for several months at least.
- It confirms that relations with the Russia authorities are good and that they do not wish to screw AMC over (they still might, then it begs the question why not now? a perfect excuse )
- The deadline has been extended then why not look at improving the economics.
Ary82 I hear what you are saying but, I do not know many CEO/Directors who under-promise and over-deliver? Maybe it is a reflection of my poor investment choices but at some point, all of them have been criticised for ambiguity/silence of information, underperforming and not meeting deadlines.
Also, the 'truth' is not always what the market needs to hear, the past ten years the economic outlay for AMC wasn't great, I don’t think shareholders want to hear statements such as;
“AMC are proud to present you a mine which at current Nickel prices is not viable” or “No one wants to give us any money”
We are heading towards the critical path for AMC and with the TEO, Mining Plan, Offtake, BFS……. we are closing in on the next stage of the project whatever that is.
Anyway sorry, rambling now
