RE:RE:RE:my IVN dream... Ivanhoe was heavily discounted due to 1) needing to raise funding 2) concerns about the DRC 3) RF was always known to sell instead of being a developer 4) no excitement in the metals market 5) under investment overall in metal mining 6) relatively low copper and metal prices.
K&K is a cash machine that will continue to grow and fund development and exploration.
There is no doubt now that Ivanhoe can self fund if chosen to do so. That makes it easy to raise funds if desired.
All the other concerns have turned around and the industry underfunding prospecting and development for decades is now an advantage that will continue to bring rising metal prices.
It's possible, even likely there will be earn-in agreements, however I believe you will be pleasantly surprised at how much they will be worth to Ivanhoe.
