Last year, the title of my November update was “November Pain”. This year has been less painful. I’ve had some cash in my account, which leads to excessive thoughts about “what to buy”. I find myself lured into watching videos / reading reports on markets I probably shouldn’t be dabbling in. For a man with […]
I bought Cartier Resources in the summer of 2021. I was fairly green in the sector and bought on the assumption that the sale of their PEA-stage Chimo mine asset in the Abitibi was eminent. At the time, Chimo boasted about 1.6 million ounces inferred (I believe). My cost basis: 0.30c. I sold today for
I have given up on SBSW and capitulated at 3.13 a share, for a 31% loss. Sibanye will release its quarterly earnings on Sept 12th (Thursday), which it has already announced will be poor (NR). Reasons to sell: Reasons to hold: Ultimately, this is a bit of a ‘catch a falling knife’ story that I

I sold my VGCX positions today for a meager gain. Picking a different horse for a gold miner, likely B2 Gold, but that’ll be in a separate post. Reasons for selling VGCX: Rick’s summary: In short, I surmise that VGCX is cheap for a reason: it’s a difficult mine to operate (weather, finding staff, smoke
I recently posted the discussion I had with John Black, CEO of Aldebaran Resources, at VRIC. There has been some buzz around other company he is CEO, Regulus Resources, in the last few days. I’ll admit that I haven’t been following the development of Regulus’s asset, Antakori, closely. Nevertheless, I do have faith in John
