LC MAI Great company Great Mgt W/DK Everything you said is right on. Cerro de Orro, they will build it quick, cheap and make money. What do you do with this
Mexican authorities announced that no more permits for new open-pit mining projects will be issued during López Obrador’s remaining government term, set to end in September 2024. Experts stressed that the ban on new permits poses a threat to investments and developing mining companies.
Mexico’s Minister of the Environment, María Luisa Albores, stressed that no more concessions will be granted for open-pit mining projects due to the negative impact on the environment and the adverse effects on the health of communities living nearby. In addition, the minister stated that many of the concessions already granted threaten 68 protected natural areas. Therefore, López Obrador’s government has ordered the creation of five new natural reserves, increasing the protected areas to two million hectares.
Argonaut sold the Ana Paula project to Heliostar this April (An impressive project), except now Helio has to bail on the open pit plan option and go underground?
Some risk there dont you think? Probably the reason for the soft MAI share price.
Doug keeps buying and nobody talks about this in CEO.ca. A penny for your thoughts.

Golden Minerals Announces Improved Concentrate Terms for Velarde ƒ ±a Properties Gold-Pyrite Concentrate
2023-04-04 06:45 ET - News Release
Company Website: https://www.goldenminerals.com
GOLDEN, Colo. -- (Business Wire)
Golden Minerals Company (“Golden Minerals,” “Golden” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: AUMN and TSX: AUMN) announced today that it is selling gold-rich pyrite concentrates from its Velardeña Properties on improved terms to a buyer in Manzanillo, Mexico.
Warren M. Rehn, Golden’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Recently improved and updated terms for the purchase of our gold-rich pyrite concentrates allow us to consider moving forward with the re-opening of the Velardeña Properties’ mines without the need to build the BIOX plant, as we had previously planned. The new terms pay for enough of the gold and silver in the concentrate to enable us to shelve plans for the BIOX plant and sell our flotation concentrates directly to smelters. We made our first shipment of 142 tonnes of previously produced and stockpiled gold-rich pyrite concentrate under the new terms last week and we are currently processing 3,000 tonnes of previously mined and stockpiled mineralized material from the Santa Juana mine for future shipments. The economic benefit of the new payable terms bodes well for a restart of the Velardeña mines.”
The new payable terms for gold-bearing pyrite concentrates are a significant improvement over previous terms offered in 2022 and earlier, and now represent in excess of a 100% increase for gold payables in the concentrate. The Company had previously planned to construct a BIOX facility at Velardeña in order to recover the gold in the pyrite concentrate. The capital cost of the BIOX facility was initially estimated at approximately US $6.5 million in 2019 (as reported in the May 2020 PEA); however, upon re-estimation in 2021 (as reported in the March 2022 PEA) the cost estimate had more than doubled to $14.5 million. In 2022, detailed costing and design showed a minimum cost of well over $20 million, which was more than could be readily financed for the project. The increase in the BIOX plant costs created uncertainty about the economic feasibility of re-commencing production. With these new concentrate sales terms, the problem of payable gold recovery appears to be solved without the significant capital costs required to build the previously planned BIOX facility.
The Company is now evaluating the economics of a restart of the Velardeña operation without the need for major capital expenditures for the BIOX facility and ancillary equipment. Pending confirmation and Board approval of the start-up plan, the Company believes that it could commence production as soon as mid-2023. To address the concerns related to mining dilution at Velardeña, the Company anticipates that it would schedule initial production from those veins that showed the best results from test mining in 2022. Ore-sorting, while showing promise to help reduce dilution, would not be required for the currently envisioned plan to resume production given the improved revenue projected from the new concentrate sales terms.

LC I wouldn't buy that BC Molly. I spoke with a professional who knows Molly well. They said its not a climax deposit therefore hard to mine. Id also spoken with the company awhile back. They have no plans other than to see if they can get something going. For Molly Id pic a good price and stick with Stuhini
Look who found Stuhini
Our own Chen Lin
Dave O’Brien of Stuhini Exploration Ltd. talks to Chen Lin at the March 2023 Metals Investor Forum
There was a lot of interest at the Stuhini booth at PDAC Financing upsized 2 times to let in some key players. Shares trading in the .60s now
NIM.V HUSIF Nicola Mining PDAC Notes What a great little company. 50M Market Cap My take after a visit to the booth and a talk with Peter Espig. 750k to $1m per month positive cash flow including the new Osisko tolling deal. 2 other company tolling deals being negotiated. Lots of high grade 50k oz Au projects in the area with no where to go . Nicolas Craigmont mill is the only permitted mill in all of BC for tolling ore. This leaves them with the upper hand.
This company is not going to last long before they get bought out. All they need to do is prove Proof of concept at the Craigmont copper project and a major is going to come in fast. Along a major highway, connected to a hydro power grid(cheap) , water permits already there.
Low risk and undervalued by any metric. Its only recently they got the permits to toll local Au Ag high grade feed. Going to be easy to monetize this. Then sink the cash into proof of concept for the Craigmont Cu project.
The recently consolidated 10,000-hectare property contains the former Craigmont Mine, which produced 34 million tonnes, grading 1.3% copper between 1961 and 1982 from underground and open pit operations. It ranked as one of North America’s highest grade copper mines and sits next to Techs Highland Valley Copper District.
FTCO FORTITUDE GOLD 2022 NET INCOME OF $14.7 MILLION, $725 AISC, $45M Cash
This makes the EV about $105 Million On 41K OZ produced, they paid $11.5m in dividends, spent $11.6M on exploration, added $5M cash, pushed forward new increased production at multiple properties where they've pre bought long lead time equipment previous to inflation cost bumps and will build out new high grade mine production with no debt or dilution. Their solid in the high grade Pearl zone this year with much of this years production already on surface so should be good year. Banks wont like Fortitude but I feel vary safe.
LC This is the poor GORO mgt aka Jason Reid you just called out?? Remember this FTCO was a free spinoff for GORO share holders about 2 years ago before GORO shrs took the drop. As to new GORO with new CEO Allen Palmier Im not excited other than to watch for green lights at the Michigan property. Thats a big project if it goes.
COLORADO SPRINGS – February 28, 2023 - Fortitude Gold Corporation (OTCQB: FTCO) (the “Company”) today reported its year-end 2022 results including net income of $14.7 million, or $0.61 per share, and increased its cash balance by $5 million year-over-year to $45.1 million. The Company confirmed both its previously announced 2022 annual production of 41,231 gold ounces, which exceeded the initial 2022 gold production target by 3%, and announced its 2023 Production Outlook of 40,000 ounces of gold (a range of 36,000 to 40,000 ounces). The Company also filed its year-end 2022 S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary (“TRS”) of Isabella Pearl Mine Reserves and Resources. In addition to the updated Reserves and Resources, the Company has an estimated 51,900 recoverable gold ounces on the Isabella Pearl heap leach pad at December 31, 2022. The Company also filed an Initial Assessment TRS for the County Line Property located in Mineral and Nye counties, Nevada. Fortitude Gold is a gold producer, developer, and explorer with operations in Nevada, U.S.A. offering investors exposure to both gold production and substantial dividend yield.
“Fortitude Gold once again delivered strong operational results in 2022 which exceeded our annual gold production outlook, delivered strong financial results including increasing our cash by $5 million year-over-year to $45.1 million and delivered strong shareholder value with our continued and substantial monthly cash dividend distributions,” stated Fortitude Gold CEO and President, Mr. Jason Reid. “The Company exceeded its 2022 gold production outlook by 3% as operations delivered over 41,000 gold ounces at a low all-in sustaining cost of $725 per ounce. With $74.4 million in net sales, $14.7 million in net income, and a cash balance that grew to $45.1 million, the Company is in a very strong financial position with no debt.”
Mr. Reid stated, “Our Isabella Pearl operation continues to deliver strong cashflows and margins in which to invest and build our next Nevada mining operations. In January of this year, we announced an initial resource for our County Line property located just 19 miles northeast of our Isabella Pearl operations. We believe this property has the ability to deliver gold resources to our Isabella Pearl process facilities, extending the potential life of the Isabella Pearl operation into 2026 and perhaps beyond. We also continue to invest in our Golden Mile property with continued exploration drilling and mine equipment and materials purchases in anticipation of a potential mine development decision. We are aggressively moving both the County Line and Golden Mile properties forward in the permitting process with the Bureau of Land Management and State of Nevada with the goal of becoming a near-term, multi-mine operator.”
Mr. Reid continued, “For 2023 we expect to continue our significant investment in exploration and development activities across our exciting portfolio of Nevada properties. With a strong treasury, we believe we can develop and construct both the County Line and Golden Mile mine operations using our own cash without shareholder dilution. Fortitude Gold remains a unique investment in the precious metal space offering investors exposure to gold production, a very attractive dividend yield at over 7.5% and district scale exploration potential in arguably the premier mining jurisdiction in the world, Nevada, U.S.A.”
2022 Overview
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold 41,464 gold ounces at a total cash cost after by-product credit of $621 per gold ounce, and a realized 2022 average sales price for gold of $1,802 per ounce. The Company recorded revenues of $74.4 million, and net income of $14.7 million, or $0.61 per share.
The calculation of our cash cost per ounce contained in this press release is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see "Management's Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations" contained in the Company’s recently filed Form 10-K for a complete discussion and reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures.
Quote from CEO.ca
@kingtut So todays news says we add more benches below Pearl while having added three years initial at Golden mile and one year at County line initial with lots of upside known at both latter two. Not hard to imagine that ceo is right re mining the area for a very long time. It’s playing out and this sustained dividend for our debt free ultra low share count stock
LC Also just want to say thanks, I much appreciate your updated briefings here. Over the years this board has provided a lot of good information.
Interesting Batch here. I like you, was watching both companies and looking for a buyout of CORE at a much later date. I was surprised. I-80 has 3 CRD's with one pushing to the south towards Paycore's adjoining property where there working on proving up their own CRD.
Together the consolidation forms a monster high grade CRD. Paycore doesn't have to build and are taking advantage of I80's mining permits/auto clave for their sulfides as you said
GORO ? Might have been me involved in some of that GORO friction :) Lets be fair here. The current GORO is not the same mgt you are speaking of. The original GORO 1.0 was the Mexican assets when MX was a better jurisdiction. GORO did go from $1 to $31 under that mgt and dropped back during the dark years in the space. During those dark years, GORO did however pick up some 1st rate assets in Nevada, got them permitted and built the processing plant including ADR very efficiently. GORO spun this out into FCO Fortitude Gold which tripled in price to the current $6.30 shr while paying a sector leading divy yield of 7% and as high as 9% recently. Those shareholders own FCO now for free which left GORO with only the MX assets. The kicker! That old GORO mgt has left and now runs Fortitude Gold where they are making efficient Cash Flow while organically growing a number of other high grade pit projects that will be helping them to grow more CF and higher production numbers which should help bump the share price to record levels while paying the large divy. Their next development will be paid 100% from organic CF that allows them to keep their minuscule 24m OS. Like Minera Alamos Santana prj which I own as well, FTO will build organically their next project to production. The new GORO 2.0 bought a property in Michigan (over 1M high grade resource, I think with $60M sunk costs) that is struggling with a permitting issue they thought they could solve. The 1st Nations have their ancient burial grounds, you know the story. Thats 1 reason their in the tank
STU Stuhini .49 today and for good reason. You should go to the Stuhini website, get Daves number and have a chat, or look him up at the PDAC booth. Hes a good friend of mine, easy to talk to, straight honest. Tell him I said to call. You need to hear the story from Dave. PP's going to be done. They have cash and warrants are in the money. When the story gets out, mkt will have to buy from the 38M OS pool most locked up with Sprott, insiders and friends.
Remember $26Billion in the ground, Molly tripled last year. Demand is real, Future Supply is tight. Full historic Feasibility w/ historic $800 M funding pkg. Their way ahead of the pack, Dave will get the job Done. Just ask Eric Sprott

STU.V STXPF .46 Stuhini Exploration. Invited to The Metals Investment Forum March 3-4 Toronto just before PDAC Someone else sees what I see plus Eric Sprott took part in every financing. You have to be invited by one of these writers {link below) There's a good reason Stuhini got invited. I brought this here at .35 in January. Now .46 with only a only $17M MC - 38M OS - VERY Low G & A
Readers digest story. 3 years age Stuhini optioned the Ruby Creek project mostly for is gold and silver prospects. It included the mothballed Adanac Moly project. 480Million reconfirmed lbs of Molybdenum, drilled off, went through full feasibility in 07, fully permitted and was funded for $800M. They spent $80m including $22M on the current Ruby Creek access road, then crashed and burned in 09 due to the banking crisis crash. Moly price never recovered until now. Adanac traded at $3/shr and a $300M MC off just the Ruby Creek Moly project. Fast forward, with Molly moving from $10 -$15 last 15 years to current $37/lb this project is worth $22B in the ground and Stuhini is focused on moving this forward. The CPM Group recently highlighted that demand is high and supply short for at least 4-5 years since up and coming Moly projects are scarce.

Bobwins STU.V STXPF Stuhini Resources Molybdenum Follow me this will be interesting.
Most Molly is used to make steel lighter and stronger plus for Oil, LNG and green industries.
World Bank recently stated moly is a critical metal needed in 7 of 9 green energy technologies. plus molybdenum has up to 4 times the electrical capacity of lithium
Bobwins to answer your question yes the CPM group said demand is high and supply short. This will continue for at least 4-5 years since up and coming Moly projects are scarce due to the previous low price of Moly. This has to be the reason for Moly recently going from $ 15/lb to $32/lb in 6mths. Most of this move after CPM report.
Now normally Im not the least bit interested here, since its something I do not understand very well and as you said, Moly would have to stay strong. CPM has that covered in the you tube link below.
Enter Stuhini Exploration STU.V which trades at a $17M MC. Currently trading at a 100% premium to the private placement that closed yesterday. .
I took a 1st position about 1 year ago because I liked the quality precious metals/Ni projects in BC + US Arizona, and their proximities to Brixton and Garibaldi. Plus The CEOs fiscal responsibility. He takes a $2000/mth salary with no office rent, and is a large share holder of the company. Eric Sprott likes him too and invested in the 3 PP including the current one. I think this is the only one ES participated in the last several mths. I followed on the last 2. Shareholders are partners with them and not paying large salary overhead but rather speculating in the increased value of the projects
When CPM asked How can investors best get exposure to Moly? Andrew Zemec answers , do your homework on the best moth balled NA projects that were hot in the past and theres only a couple.
Turns out Stuhini has the mothballed Adanac Moly project. 480Million reconfirmed lbs of Moly, drilled off, went through feasibility in 07, fully permitted and was funded for $800M. They spent $80m including $22M on the current Ruby Creek access road, then crashed and burned in 09 due to the banking crisis crash. Moly price never recovered until now. Adanac traded at $3/shr and a $300M MC
Stuhini refocused and is reproving up everything. 480M lbs Pit Constrained Resource is now NI43101 compliant, Still has the BC mining access permit, the $22M road. and the old technical report. My understanding is he has a lot of interest and turned down a lot of big money because he didn't want to finance down here.
480M lbs @ $32 US = over 20B $C in the ground.
CPM said Moly above $ 12 - 13/lb incentifys pushing new production
Greenland Resources is trying to move a remote similar size project but much further down in progress. MOLY.N went from a $50m MC to $120M MC last 30 days. Thats multiples of Stuhinis MC plus you get the high quality metals projects that Eric Sprott is interested in.
Molybdenum producers do not listen to the market, with CPM Group
So originally I remember you and CL being active with the Moly chatter on 07 08 and thought you might remember Adanac Molybdenum Corp AUA and have some info to add while I was in heavy DD mode. Good chance they will spin off the metals assets into a separate entity or JV Ruby Creek Moly

Bobwins Magna Gold MGR.v MGLQF I think your on to something there. I recently picked up on the story accidentally then saw your post. Fascinating story. Basically an unknown 70k OZ producer at a $70 MC internally projecting to produce positive cash flow Q1 22 CEO Arturos intimate history with San Francisco, how he moved it forward, rehiring the old team is just as fascinating. Judging by his history, Looks like the guy gets things done.
Currently Reducing the strip ratio and rising the production numbers.
Im surprised since the San Francisco mine was let go by Argonaut. Further thinking, Argonaut was previously disoriented and probably divested SF so they could more focus on Magino. If this turns out well, MGR got a smoking deal for less then $10m in value.
Not in yet but DD ing and liking what I see
Fortitude Gold FTCO Possible short term catalyst. Only 5 minutes UTUBE here, but at least hit the 4 minute mark where Jason gives us the teaser of many new positive things going on and says this info is coming to us SHs in August.
A gem of a company here. I see a lot of current value plus nice growth coming from this company as they push through exploiting their several high grade targets.
The cash their throwing allows them to move on several fronts at the same time, while still throwing the current 4% dividend yield.
Bobwins Nice Pick 4 call on Hecla. Hit 9.44 today. Sitting over the 10 year high!

Yielddude, Little late. Ill just throw out some random thoughts
.50 in cash
Share count may inch up
Funds will continue liquidating over a period unknown to me. 30-60 days?
Still be in the quiet no news period. Lot could be happening?
Personally for me at 1.50 Im buying as its a guaranteed steal.
$2.50 was about where I figured it would trade initially.
Going forward these prices are all a steal. There going to make a lot of cash, pay nice divy and have the dollars to develop some upside weather by M@A or developing current properties.
Nice place to land a nice future divy yield on todays purchase?
Theres just so many other options

--------------------------------------------------------------
Current Oxides Stockpile Project (OSP), pilot program is being developed, with final conclusions expected in late fiscal 2021"
This will be a huge Low CAPEX Low IRR, High profit addition to Orvanas bottom line
2Mton mixed copper oxide stockpile sitting on top of the ground
The OSP Technical Report highlights are:
Proven Oxide Stockpile Reserves of 2 million tonnes containing 120,900 ounces of gold, 38,438 tonnes of copper and 3.2 million ounces of silver
Gold alone is close to 2GPT and on surface. Zero mining costs
Estimated metal recoveries of the Oxide Stockpile based on processing by sulphidization.
The capital cost estimate for modification of the existing processing plant to process the Oxide Stockpile is approximately US$25.6 million.
The unit operating cost for processing the Oxide Stockpile is estimated at an average of US$93.1 per tonne.
Final evaluation of the feasibility of the Oxide Stockpile Project is planned to be completed by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2021, upon completion of detailed engineering works. (6 months)
Subject to the favorable completion of technical, economic and funding analysis, the sulphidization circuit and ancillary facilities development is expected to require approximately twelve months before starting commercial production.
The Oxide Stockpile Project will provide three full production years for Don Mario and a Huge economic addition while they drill the the rest of the project.
After this comes good economic tailing project.
--------------------------------------------------------
Lots of drilling Brown and Greenfield:
== Orovalle drilled 7,214 meters in El Valle in first quarter of fiscal 2021;
== Lidia Program commenced on schedule in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and permitting for Ortosa Godan is in progress.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 GEO Production
1 As presented in the third quarter 2020 financial and operating results press release dated November 4, 2020.
2 Florida Canyon production during Q1 2020 and Q2 2020 was under Alio Gold Inc. prior to the closing of the merger between Alio Gold Inc. and Argonaut on July 1, 2020. 2020 GEO production guidance estimated the combined full year 2020 production from the El Castillo, San Agustin, La Colorada and Florida Canyon.
Pete Dougherty , President and CEO stated: "2020 was a spectacular year for Argonaut, as we completed a merger, saw the conclusion of Schedule 2 amendment and executed on a financing plan for Magino's development and achieved record quarterly production in our most recent quarter. As we look to 2021, we are taking a cautious approach to guidance when considering potential productivity challenges due to COVID-19 protocols and contact tracing, as the health and safety of our workforce is paramount. Our focus is to deliver cash flow from the operating mines to fuel Argonaut's growth through the construction of Magino, as we embark on the transition from a relatively high-cost junior producer with short mine life assets to an intermediate lower-cost producer with long life assets."
2021 Production and Cost Guidance
The Company anticipates it will produce between 210,000 and 250,000 GEOs during 2021 at a cash cost of between $950 and $1,050 per gold ounce sold and an all-in sustaining cost ("AISC") of between $1,250 and $1,350 per gold ounce sold (see "Non-IFRS Measures" section).

Fiore Gold (TSXV: F) Q&A w CEO Tim Warman Jan 7 at 12pm ET
I recommend watching this if your interested in one of the best gold producer values out there with big upside potential and low risk.
50K oz yearly production is not exciting for most but they make a lot of money.
Todays Q&A should give the market a better incite and remind the market that the Fiore EV is near 3 x last quarters annualized cash flow that equates to $41 million. Current EV Since gold is averaging $150 - 200 more this quarter, should add cash to the balance sheet and MC has not increased this 1st Q of 2021 these numbers should improve.
Also with nearly 4 million ounces of resource between the 3 property's and $125M EV, Fiore is trading at about $30 per Insitu ounce. Dirt cheap
By both metrics Fiore is trading at about 1/3 its value

CPTMatt Re GORO Looks like your buy is going to turn out good. I bought 2 times last week at avg just over 3.40 but I got in before the ex date so will get the spinco Fortitude. Cant wait to see how the mkt values Foritude
If it trades at 1.50 which is possible, that equates to about .50 of free GORO value we received if that makes sense.
Good buy Cork chipping at the lows. Its also possible that the shares got a small rerating after divesting Nevada since todays buy wont get you Fortitude
No doubt GORO is cheap. Just to think GORO traded at $31 with only one mine in Mexico 2011 last time gold was in $1800S.
CAPEX Way Down
GOLD Way UP
Extra $10/oz for silver in 2021
Hopefully near done with Covid slow down

Overview of Q3 2020 Results
Record third quarter production from the Company’s Nevada Mining Unit (NMU) totaled 7,847 gold ounces, an increase of 51% over Q2 2020. Through the first three quarters of 2020, NMU gold production totaled 16,747 gold ounces. The third quarter was the first full quarter that the Company was able to regularly access portions of the deposit’s high-grade “Pearl” zone, while also mining the deposit’s lower grade “Isabella” zone. Gold Resource Corporation remains on track to achieve its annual production target of 40,000 gold ounces in 2021.
Third quarter Oaxaca Mining Unit (OMU) production totaled 4,728 gold ounces, 324,592 silver ounces, 428 copper tonnes, 2,157 lead tonnes and 5,538 zinc tonnes. Through the first three quarters of 2020, OMU production numbers total 13,619 gold ounces, 912,464 silver ounces, 1,162 copper tonnes, 5,811 lead tonnes and 14,386 zinc tonnes.
Third quarter NMU sales from the Isabella Pearl mine totaled 8,396 gold ounces at a total cash cost of $935 per ounce (after by-product credits) at an average realized price of $1,901 per ounce. Third quarter OMU sales totaled 7,898 precious metal gold equivalent ounces at a total cash cost of $589 per ounce (after by-product credits). OMU average realized metal prices during the quarter included $1,887 per ounce and $25.47 per ounce*. The Company recorded net income of $5.0 million, or $0.07 per share, and paid $0.7 million to its shareholders in dividends, or $0.01 per share during the quarter. Cash and cash equivalents at quarter end totaled $31.3 million.
*Average realized metal prices include final settlement adjustments for previously unsettled provisional sales. Some provisional sales may remain unsettled from one period into the next. Realized prices will therefore vary from average spot metal market prices upon final settlement.
COVID-19
The Company previously withdrew its 2020 production outlook for both its Oaxaca and Nevada Mining Units following the impacts and uncertainties of the global pandemic, the two-month mandatory governmental suspension of Mexican operations in April 2020, and uncertainty of potential future outbreaks or governmental responses to the pandemic. Both mining units operated continuously during the third quarter along with continued health screening protocols for COVID-19 prevention and mitigation. During the third quarter, Nevada identified one positive case of COVID-19 while Mexico identified 29 positive cases. Due to the rigorous protocols in place, these cases were promptly identified and mitigated to ensure the health and safety of our employees and the communities in which we operate.
Nevada Mining Unit Spin-Off
Subsequent to the quarter, on October 5, 2020, the Company announced its intention to spin-off its Nevada Mining Unit to shareholders as a separate publicly traded company, Fortitude Gold Corporation. 100% of the Nevada Mining Unit will be distributed on a pro rata basis to shareholders of record on the transaction execution date. Following completion of the spin-off, the Gold Resource Corporation will hold all of the assets and related liabilities of the Oaxaca Mining Unit and Fortitude Gold Corporation will hold all of the Nevada assets and related liabilities. The spin-off does not require shareholder approval and is expected to be tax-free to the shareholders.
The transaction is subject to certain conditions, including the final approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and the receipt of an effective date for the Form S-1 registration statement filed by Fortitude Gold Corporation on October 19, 2020 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The transaction is targeted to be completed by year-end 2020 or the first quarter of 2021.
This phenomenon is going to get the PM stocks on the radar.
3rd quarter earning reports are going to get the millennials looking at PM stocks. Stocks like GORO who showed Q2 losses due to Covid and who turned things back around in Q3 are going to do well I believe. The sector is going to start looking promising from the double whammy boost of production and Cash Flows from high price of PMs.
