Down draft mystery solvedThe charity flow through shares issued Sept 16, 2023 had a 4 month 1 day hold period which expired Jan 7 when SGD was at $5.87. Clearly, some of the owners of these share (pikers) have been selling that which they never wanted.
The shares were issued at $7.50. Assuming federal and provincial tax breaks of 30% they are now worth $5.25. We closed at $5.21. Stereotypically, these shares are slowly consumed and then the share price recovers.
I'm sure that the downdraft in Gold didn't help either.
On the bright side Valley is getting bigger with lots of potential for a 15 million oz deposit. That increases the buy out to $18 USD or $24 CAD/share.
