If you like ETG, HCU is an even better deal I have posted similar messages before, but the attractiveness of the proposed buy is very good.
HCU's market cap is almost 20% discount to the value of its 25% holding in ETG. Sooner than latter arbitration should be decided and a buyout of ETG by RT/OTLLC which would be easiest for all parties. This could be a substantial increase to the current market value. Buy HCU (altho it is very thinly traded) and get ETG at almost 20% discount.
In addition, HCU holds a 30% interest in Hod Maden and a NPI in Antaminas. They have sold gold or silver streams to SAND on the two projects. Antaminas is operational and generating cash for HCU. Hod Maden is a few years away, but will be tremendously profitable. (The majority partner, SRRM had a tailings dam collapse in another project in Turkay and Hod Maden is being further delayed.)
I've been in HCU a couple of years and have built a position in ETG. Would love to do more, but tapped out. I expect a major jump when ETG is (likely) sold, with a strong groundwork for the future stock appreciation (Antaminas, Hod Maden.)
For new investors, this could be a tremendous return. Take a bite, sit back and wait (and probAbly not too long), before seeing nice appreciation. There are risks, but I see limited downside.
