Dufferin is undergone various improvements and is "near production ready". Bulk sampling is complete. That said, during the pre-production activities, the Company experienced significant cost overruns.
Some believe that total asset value is 15,000,000. The Dufferin development property has been adjusted to 9,360,761 so that the total asset value is 15,000,000.
Improvements to reach "near production ready"
purchase price 2016 9,870,602
+ improvements 2017 6,713,704
+ improvements 2018 7,872,214
+ improvements 2019 1,197,178
= Total 25,653,698
Improvements adjusted for "cost over-runs" and no leverage in negotiations.
In this scenario, Dufferin sells for below cost. All improvements are lost.
purchase price 2016 9,870,602
+ improvements 2017 (509,841)
+ improvements 2018 0
+ improvements 2019 0

For sake of simplicity we can assume the Plant and equipment counterbalance the conservatively priced Exploration properties.

Off-balance sheet items
RCG has significant, $20.8M, tax loss credits that can be used in production to de-risk the project.
The value of the tax credits has not been market tested.
market value = 1/2 tax credits or $10M.
Investments at 14c also suggest a value of $10M.
The value of the RCG ticker has not been market tested.
Assume the ticker is worth $2M
