EDV deserves a re-rating.
First the investing "herd" must get off the tech train, and be convinced that resources in general, and gold in particular, represent excellent inflation hedges (can't print it, or conjure it up like cryptos).
Then it's up to Analysts to properly sort out which gold companies have the most long-lived mines with the lowest AISC. Which ones have the lowest risk and which ones pay dividends, which ones are debt-free, and which ones aren't. Which ones are well-run and which ones are not. Which ones are cashflow beasts, and which ones are wannabee's, etc etc. etc.
Most here know how well EDV stacks up against the competition. Analysts then have to feed the herd the herd of retail sheep. We seem to have a decent institutional following, but need the retail community at the margins. Dividends could help a bit.
I've always thought that EDV could be the next Rangold in the making (top 10, well run, consolidator in Africa). I believe that is coming true, with likely even better Gov't relationships. Once the analysts, and then the retail market recognizes that, then we should be off to the races.

PS: OT sounds like you escaped Thailand in the knick of time. You should be relatively safe here, unless/until the vaccines are proven ineffective against the next round of variants :( Just hope we can stay somewhat ahead of the curve and build a vaccine plant by 2022.
I agree that the US is dropping the ball and shooting themselves in the foot big-time (gun proliferation is another story). Hard to be optimistic given their nature.
