Market Cap To be clear, I’m not suggesting anything like the illegal schemes that have given OTC stocks a bad reputation. Companies in this position have a legitimate concern for their valuation. PotashRidge’s recent similar offering was to both raise money and market cap. WesternPotash has been buying back shares on the open market to mop up supply and eventually drive up price. And ICP has had a similar problem: excessively low valuation given the amount that has been spent so far in development costs. They’ve invested around 110M or so since forming the company. A fairer valuation (assuming a mine can be realistically built) would be about .65 per share. After all, the mine can’t be built without all the studies, approvals etc., which is part of the value of this project. The problem is that the current market mind-set towards mining in general, can’t imagine this mine getting built. All that money and effort would then be a waste, the project worth maybe .05 a share, for maybe the land and equipment. ICP needs a more optimistic view of their prospects.
