Another reply from Steve Todoruk26 May 2022 10:03
As many of you know, I email Steve Todoruk occasionally, and I just thought I’d share his latest musings.
Hi Steve and thankyou for sending over the information regarding Filo mining.
I just want to touch base with you regarding where you currently stand with Greatland Gold (GGP).
I have a decent position with over XXXXXXXX shares invested in GGP, but after the SP severely dropping over the last 16 months, I would like you to access if your position has changed from that you had in 2020.
Fundamentally I can only see positives surrounding drill results and MRE updates, but something doesn't seem right, with the SP being constantly hammered day after day, even after all the fantastic updates.
Is it a case of just ignoring the shenanigans going on, with the like of JPM opening a short position on the company, or is it in your view, something else that has created so much uncertainty within shareholders.
According to Morningstar, Sprott Global still hold around 29M shares in GGP, and that if something was materially wrong, then I'm sure that would not be the case.
So am I missing something here, or is the market just waiting until the further 5% ownership has been agreed with NCM.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have regarding GGP
Best Regards
Here is his reply
Hi XXXXXXX
I’m still very very keen on GGP.
Right now with Newcrest having exercised their option to buy another 5% of the project at “fair value”, that is hanging over their share price with the market not knowing what to expect. The market doesn’t like anything they aren’t sure of.
Unfortunately, Shaun Day inherited the Option JV deal that his predecessor signed and Shaun has to make the best out of it. It’s to bad Gervaise gave Newcrest that option. Let’s just get it resolved and then move forward to lining up bank financing for their share of the construction costs and lots more good drilling results growing this deposit much much bigger.
Steve
So there you have it, looks like Sprott definitely seeing this through to the end game.
I don’t know about the rest of you but, that’s certainly good enough for me to carry on.
