DON'T BUY
Aug 25, 2008
You never have enough gold when you need it and you always own too much when it goes sideways. Gold managements have not done a great job in reducing costs. Hoping gold goes sideways for sometime to come.
Revenue stream is from buying precious metal by-products from mining companies. There are no risks of higher costs in mining. Have a deal with FNX Mining (FNX-T) to purchase some of their platinum group metals. In the early stages.
Finds projects that have gold in the ground. They pay a percentage up front and then get the gold later with additional money. A great exposure in the long term to gold. This is really a call on gold. Every investor should have a little bit of gold. Hoping for gold to be $1200 by the end of the year.
Company just set up a 1 for 10 consolidation. Signed a deal with First Uranium (FIU-T), which has a gold mine in South Africa that is having pretty serious production problems so they may delay the expansion. Any further delay and First Uranium owes this company $42 million. First Uranium have put themselves up for sale, which is really killed this company because of the uncertainty.
