I’ve penned numerous articles about GoldStone Resources as a spectacular gold play; I’ve done extensive research and analysis of the company, the sector, the gold market, and countless other junior mining opportunities to verify that the Akrokerri-Homase gold asset, truly is of exceptional value. However, not even that extensive due diligence prepared me for this...
Over the past forty-eight hours, I’ve repeatedly found myself in a state of flux. Specifically, I’ve found myself unable to fully grasp the reasons that would draw City heavyweights Bill Richards, Paul and Angela List, Rich Wilkins, Orie Fenn, and Bill Trew, a reasonably wealthy band of hardened and well-respected investors, to GoldStone Resources.
Why, when they have achieved what most could only ever dream of, did they choose to invest their hard-earned cash into an under-the-radar Ghanaian junior gold explorer?
Why, for instance, did the former De Beers and Anglo American director, and now Ghanaian mining magnate, Orie Fenn, elect to not only represent the company (as a non-executive director), but to also own a notable stake (held under Fiske Nominees) in the business?
Why, for instance, did the owners of Africa’s largest private mining contractor, Ghanaian duo Paul and Angela List, with a net worth estimated at $107.5m, elect to not only represent the company (at the upper echelons of the Ghanaian political establishment), but to also own a sizeable stake (held under BCM Investments Ltd) in the business?
Why, for instance, does a Mayfair-based hedge fund supremo (‘Bill’ Richards of RAB Capital), renowned for his shrewd bets during periods of market volatility, and worth a cool £90m (courtesy of Markets Insider...), sink circa £400k (stake is under Pershing Securities Limited) into puny GRL?
Why, for instance, did the Chief Financial Officer of Phoenix Copper (the AIM-quoted North American-focused, base and precious metals company), Richard ‘Rich’ Wilkins, elect to not only represent the company (as a non-executive director), but to also own a decent stake in the business?
And why, for instance, does the head honcho of a £75m, globally-renowned gold investor (Paracale Gold), Bill Trew, who became a multi-millionaire through savvy investing (picking winning gold mining companies early in their life cycle), elect to not only represent the company (as a non-executive Chairman), but to also own a substantial stake (held under Paracale Gold Ltd) in the business?
Well, I believe I have uncovered some of the reasons. Here goes…
1. In its purest form, an ounce of gold in your hand is currently worth around $1,750 per ounce, and gold in rock, at concentrations not economic to mine, is worth nothing. It therefore follows that
