RE:Price ahead of drill results? It's worth noting that the price was over $9 in September 2019, and did not get over that price until April of this year - a full seven months later. In that time, every single release of drill results indicated there was even more gold than before. This stock has run up strongly a few times, followed by a stretch of positive drill results that failed to support new highs. Warren Buffett's "manic depressive" Mr. Market comes to mind.
The recent share price in the $19 range was supported by analysts who put the price far higher, based on seemingly conservative geological calculations. Despite that news, it seems that short sellers are able to take control of the price action very easily in this stock.
I take comfort in the fact that the blue sky thinking in this project is still on the table. It's a discovery story that is still open at length, width and depth to very large projections - 20 million, 30 million or more ounces is not disproven. Short term price action does not alter ounces in the ground.
Some time ago, Chris Taylor said he wasn't worried about running out of gold to find, he was worried about running out of time. In Januarty this year at the MIF he said we might not be talking about this company in six months.
For the sake of all of us who have bought in as an investment, not to speculate it is my fervent hope that we get paid for our patience. I take great comfort in Chris having a huge amount of personal investment in the company, at meaningful prices. He has participated in every raise of capital with his own money. It's pretty rare that management and shareholder interests are in alignment to this degree - in conversation Chris wants his friends and family who have invested to get every dime.
There's plenty of August left, for more drill results. Far more difficult to get market moving numbers in this project, but GBR has delivered blockbusters in the past. I'm confident by the end of summer we will be at a new ATH.
