RE: RE: RE: Marketing GCU well, when you say that I presume you mean the sector in general...because the whole sector but for a select few is in the dumps. All pure exploration related projects are valued at dirt in the gound, rather than ounces in the ground. Development projects-most are valued at crummy prices. Producers-well their valuations depend on cost structure, resource size, etc, with a huge emphasis on costs and the direction in which they are going. Growth is being paid up for -(new or near term) additional production, as long as costs are in line, Royalty companies are in the pink. BUT, this will change at some point. Nobody knows when.M&A is happening, but its a trickle right now. And why? Probably because the potential acquirors dont feel any particular compulsion to act quickly, as prices are heading in their direction, i.e.-DOWN. When that dynamic changes, and it will, eventually, then the whole ball game changes. Its probably going to be related to the price of gold. Given that production hasnt really increased too much during the last 10 years, and given that demand has, and assuming that demand will continue to be strong, something gonna give. It may take time, but it will happen. Hang in.
