RE:Apparent VGCX loss of slope & leach containmentManagement's worst nighmare - an army of ESG enthusiasts, multiple levels of government bureaucrats, possibly a long list of class-action harvesters, first nations, politicians, and media for months or years. I say possibly for the class-action guys because Victoria doesn't have a huge amount of cash, their current account status is about net-zero, paying for the damage won't be cheap and it will be the ongoing senior priority.
That SSRM event in Turkey, although way more serious, has generated suspension of mining permits and there are now well over 600(!) postings from the class action types jamming up the SSRM board. (I had nothing to do a while back and checked!) SSRM does have good cash and other resources to generate more.
(HL did have a wave of class-action postings when Lucky happened, but they dried up fairly quickly - the basis was that the shares had dropped from 4.50 and holders lost money, but the price did recover. Havent' noticed how that's going).
SSRM went down about 50% initially, but they have other operations other than Turkey.
VGCX is a single mine operation. It could be an interesting speculation at 1.30, but I'm not up for it. There's often a bounce-back, but in the case of SSRM, after the bump it's back to where it was when the slide happened in Feb.
