RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Key Piece of Information on StormI'm not comparing them, I am comparing your beloved BHP and the fact that majors can make mistakes........you are telling us that Storm is no good because BHP walked away. I'm saying, wait a minute, the majors aren't always right, and gave you two situations where that was the case.
Now you have even said 'Geologist miss things all the time'..... so it could be with Storm.
Thanks for the other information, it is helpful in the DD process. schocor wrote: DO you think mining at West Musgrave in Western Australia and mining at Storm woudl be comparable in ANY way? Then why are you comapring them?
Geologist miss things all the time; accountants not so much. BHP's decisoin to leave Storm/HOpe Bay/Childiak was not made by geologists; it was made by the money men that fund exploration in these high risk, remote regions.
There is not enough ore there to mine at Storm now (fact); that why they are exploring. The point is, WILL THEY EXPLORE THERE NEXT YEAR? If the answer is NO because they have no funding, what happens to the share price?
Here is your EBITDA Calc: Mine it, shake it to 53%, ship it to quebec, pay the smelter refining charges, pay admin costs. With a small scale operation, you have no hope of covering these costs - but even more important, yuo have no hope of atracting one of the money men to fund it.
ASton Bay has $12k in the bank and a $.035 share price - I dont see the money men beating a path to its door...
