RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:VGCX - November Investor Presentation
RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:VGCX - November Investor PresentationHB, we'll see when the Q3 financials are issued how "incorrect" my comment is about decline of ounces in the HLP inventory.
In Q3, VG reported placing of 2.3 million tonnes of 0.65 g/t ore on the HLP. Recoverable gold is
2,300,000 x 0.65 / 31.1 g/oz x 76% recovery = 36,534 oz.
They "produced" 41,561 oz which means a drawdown of 5,000 oz from inventory.
Ounces in inventory is not much different than ounces in the ground in that they cannot be monitized until made into gold bars and sold and then Osisko takes 5%.
I've leaned to take any comments from JM with a grain of salt. The only truly reliable source of information is the audited annual financial statements.
The fact that they are now using trucks to place ore on the pad is not a positive development as it means either diverting trucks from the mining operation or the need for additional capital to buy more trucks.
