Small coal play. In pre-feasibility with feasibility study due in the next few weeks. Partnered with Xstrata (Cape Breton met coal property). Beneficial because of location where shipping costs will be cheaper. Also have a moly and copper play in Africa that is attractive Lots of cash and supported by NAV.
Doesn’t discourage buying, but he’s restricting himself to buying companies that control, or will come to control, Tier 1 deposits. This name owns Tier 2. Mongolia is an up-and-coming country.
Attracted to it, but doesn't own or recommend. He rates it a 5, which is neutral. Gold and copper in Mongolia. Data doesn't justify labeling findings as "massive" discoveries.
This now has a project in Mongolia which has epithermal veins, which he loves. When you do find them and they carry great grades, it can grow really fast. This has a 50 g/meter width quite prominent with something like 16% which gets him excited. Still very early stage.
