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.
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.
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.
