    Gold Mine: Cascavel Mine in Brazil (70% owner)

    No resource data because the gold was high grade but nuggety so its hard to get a consistent resource estimate.
    They decided to save money and develop the mine via private funding.

    I believe this team has something worth investing in (I bought @17c) its a higher risk.

    As of last report

    $3.3m cash (quarterly outflow estimate is $6m so they are depending on debt to make budget)
    $10.9m Debt facility
    276m shares on issue

    options
    68.2m shares @ 11c (Nov this year expires)
    119.2m option total (inc. above) (25-30c 2017-2018 expire)

    So fully diluted 400m shares



    So, higher risk producer, potential for inconstant quarterly returns (depends how the mine is managed)
    Potential for good investment returns (I think) is worth the risk in the short term. DYOR
    I just offer it here for consideration

    When I bought these guys @17c

    I knew of three main risks

    1. No resource data deters institutional investment
    2. Having so many PhD directors says more theoretical thinkers than practical real world thinkers on the board
    3. No in-house mine development raises the risk

    Looks like I should have listened to my own voice :)
    *waves goodbye to $4k* see ya

    These situations are historically the end of a company in my experience - example - CCU in the silver space a while ago
    I suppose its good they stopped mining and stood down staff early to seek for help - but kinda shows an incompetent management all the same.

    A stop-loss would have helped :)
