Good Timing on FinancingA combination of rising US interest rates and high tariffs will put enormous pressure on overextended Chinese debt markets. If this continues for several months, Chinese growth must take a hit. Which means metal prices will take a hit. The DRC has become toxic for Western miners. Only those with current operations remain. Chinese state miners are still prepared to acquire additional projects in the DRC. However, six or twelve months down the road that financing may not be available. It depends how far this looming trade war goes. As it now stands, IVN has enough funds to continue for at least two or three years. Considering possible storm clouds in the macroeconomic forecast, this was an excellent time to lock down a major financing. If the threat blows over quickly, IVN share price must improve. If not, there are now plenty of funds to weather any storm.
