Hi Tim,
Sometimes we don’t! Thanks for your nice comments, much appreciated. Black Cat Syndicate (BC8) only has a market capitalization of $82m so it’s too small for us, we tend to stick to producers particularly in an environment where interest in gold is languishing . Our morning note today (Friday) outlined our positive view on the precious metal which would be a positive for BC8, however it’s not one for us.
Hawsons Iron (HIO) is another smaller company capped at $146m developing what looks to be a good Iron Ore project near Broken Hill. They recently penned a financing agreement with LDA Capital in the US to provide $200m equity funding for the development of the project. The deal is complex with a lot of layers, it’s the sort of funding agreement that I question, I’ve seen them go very wrong before with the financier the big winners and the equity holders the big losers. That sort of financing agreement is enough for me to give the stock a wide berth.
