Path to Gold -> Finance in a matter of weeks?22 Jun 2025 21:41
Profitable times ahead!
- Ethioprefs to be finalised with firm commitments - investment banking team on the ground working on this - an initiative very much supported by the establishment - including multinationals and family offices investing at the subsidiary level in Gold-linked instruments to hedge against the Birr, where previously capital controls and lack of stock market left them without a way to protect their capital from currency inflation and devaluation. Understandably strong demand.
- Two banks agreed to lending funds, going through the process of formally agreeing to an uplifted loan facility required for the project as a matter of course.
- Contractors being notified to mobilise in the field within weeks, including one who wants to put $23m into the project as a partner.
- Government pushing to progress, a stakeholder with a new sector to develop off the back of this project's success - support at the highest levels of government + investment to the tune of $20m
- Community liaison on the ground, keeping 1,800 people informed and onside to remove them from the mine site to a new location - costed within the project budget
- A world class team of people ready to go and build a mine to internationally recognised standards.
- A pipeline of projects to explore, including expansion of the initial resource, known resources and prospective areas to explore down the line.
- Estimated value of 5-10p depending on how you work it - with upside potential down the line.
Now to see it happen - and the SP follow :)
