I think you're right about the name change and it's a pretty smart forward looking move. It's like how any company who changes their name to block chain or bitcoin is immediately getting bought up like crazy over the past month.
I agree with your post 100%. A name change for the Company inserting "gold" is a great move and probably should have be done before now, but with this new PR it appears they're making a fundamental strategy change from "mineral bank" to becoming a gold mining entity.
Keith and the other Managers may have come to the conclusion that if instead of going the mineral bank route they go the miner route it would be seen more favorably for the share price. I'm just not so sure about that in the short term. We'll see I guess.
Hopefully Keith has some other deals working that will speed things along.
