RE:RE:RE:RE:BIG MONEY I've mentioned in past posts that Eric Sprott has invested his money in so many Canadian junior gold exploration / mining companies that it's often more of a challenge to find one in which he does not have some skin in the game.
According to SEDI, Sprott owned over 48M shares of PGM as of May 2022 via indirect ownership through his 2176423 Ontario Ltd. company. Unclear as to how many shares he or one of his private companies held when PGM requested and received creditor protection via the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) at the end of October last year.
Further, according to KSV Advisory (the restructuring advisor PGM is using while they are in creditor protection), "Sprott Resource Lending Corp et al" is by far the #1 creditor of PGM at $133M of the $149M total PGM owes its list of creditors.
As mentioned above, PGM is currently in creditor protection, not bankruptcy, and a tentative deal has apparently been struck that still has to receive court approval and clear some other hurdles before completion. However, my guess is common shareholders of PGM will be left with nothing when this process is completed, though Sprott Resource Lending (as the only secured creditor) will likely get most of their loan money back.
As Retired suggested. a boatload of infill / closely-spaced drilling along with the lengths shown in the assay results are just as important as grade in these zones before proceeding with a feasibility study for a gold system like this. Once again, I reiterate my position that NFG needs to stick with simply drilling and assaying coupled with utilizing the upcoming 3D Seismic Survey results to try and maximize their chances of pulling the best cores they can across the rather large area for which they will have 3D seismic data.
