Best Regards, off for a few days.
I only see one longtime CXB shareholder complaining, but that's his default position on everything since he started posting here years ago. So it looks like there are quite a few skiddish ex-Marathon shareholders unhappy with the financing, which is weird because imagine Marathon had to raise this kind of money on its own - shareholders would have easily been looking at a minimum of 50% dilution, probably a lot higher, plus boatloads of warrants. That's assuming they could even find willing participants. This is probably why Marathon put itself up for sale.
Anyways, the most unloved sector right now is gold and silver miners as everybody is chasing the latest fad (tech, AI, crypto, blue chip stonks, whatever). As we all know, the tide will turn and when it does, all its going to take is a tiny re-allocation of institutional money back into the precious metals mining sector to move the markets so much nobody will remember this bought deal. The metals themselves are sitting at less than 0.5% allocation worldwide with a long-term average of about 2%. The miners are in event worse shape, but the increase in metals prices will make it impossible to ignore the profits generated by the miners. And when you look at the gold miners in particular, Calibre is one of the best opportunities for high growth and will take a disproportionately large share of those gold mining sector capital inflows relative to its production profile.
Valentine's 2022 feasibility study assumed a life of mine average gold price of $1700 USD. Today we're at $2200 USD and if you're invested in a gold miner (the few of us left) then you undoubtedly believe gold is going to plateau at much higher levels than they are today - whether that's $2,300 / $2,800 / $3,000 / $5,000 / $10,000 whatever). But if we assumed life of mine $2,200 USD / oz gold is realistic, that adds $1.7+ billion CAD to mine revenues with no associated increase in cost.
This financing is a tiny blip on the radar, not only because we will eventually see flows start re-entering the PM miners but also because the rising price of gold. So just relax and enjoy the ride.
