RE:RE:Year end summation from Sokoman Minerals - pic of barge coreGlobal1966 -- I agree SIC seems to be spread far and wide but I see a couple of "potential" reasons -- speculation on my part as I have no insider knowledge.
1) Drill core assays are SO backed up that they cannot get the feedback that they need quickly enough to utilize the time that they have available..ieL they are keeping busy with multiple projects as none are overwheliming mgmt capability.
2) The Lithium discovery was pure luck with the zone "appearing" to be big in dimension and high grade in quality. If they can define the zone borders and grades QUICKLY than they may be able to monitize the discovery while Lithium is "super hot" and create value that funds more gold drilling. There have been 2 or 3 CDN takeovers in the LIthium marketplace just since this discovery and money is pouring into the sector. Perhaps this is a "use it or lose it" opportunity that they hope to turn into quick cash during the slow assay period.
3) Tim is an explorer and has expressed zero interest in building a mine vs NFG which (imo) has left their options open as to whether they define the resource to sell it or to mine it. So SIC is keeping as multiple projects moving forward in the hope that one or more of them will prove sufficiently feasible to sell same to a mine builder. Lithium and Moosehead are the most likely possibilities in the near future (2022/23)
Still they do have a lot of moving pieces and this requires a fine balancing act by Tim. Which is why I have asked this BB a few time -- who knows Tim well enough to comment on his expertse and is he really as good as ES has said he is??
I suspect one of the reasons the SP has struggled is because investors understand "what" Tim is doing but not necessarily "why". A good healthy motherlode level drill core would do a world of good for the SIC shareholders -- lets hope the barge delivers!
