Q: Rio Tinto has offered $40 to buy the remainder of the company that they don't already hold, while the market price seems to be holding just above $37 (as I write this), almost a 10% difference. If TRQ rejects this offer, do you think Rio will up their offer for a second time, make a hostile bid, or just walk away? I know very little about the mining industry, and am mainly looking at the numbers - would you buy some TRQ hoping for a capital gain, or just stay away?
Thank-you

Q: Hi 5i. I am wondering if you can clear something up about the proposed takeover of Yamana by Gold Fields. The terms of the sale are that each Yamana share will be replaced by 0.6 Gold Fields shares. Immediately prior to the announcement on May 31, 2022, Gold Fields ADSs were trading at USD $12.20, but slumped immediately and closed at USD $8.66 on August 19th, a drop of 29%. At the time of the takeover announcement, the premium to Yamana's value was stated to be 33.8%. Now, given current share prices, I make it out to be only 9%. I can see nothing in the press releases to indicate the purchase price is adjustable, so isn't this deal now much worse for Yamana shareholders than initially proposed?

There was talk of Gold Fields' shareholders rejecting the deal because it was too rich, but I think now it would be Yamana's shareholders who should be turning it down. Any insight?

Q: Thank you for great service.

I am not a gold bug but tend to hold some for downturns in the market/economy. I am up about 20% over 2 years in two mid-cap positions and down up to 60% in three juniors. Appreciating economic growth (or expected growth) is not the only factor impacting gold prices, why are we not seeing gold run in this environment? What factors will influence positive momentum in the coming 1-2 years?

Q: Some time back, I came to the thesis that with all the financial stimulus, inflation would develop and that gold would rise. Well, we did have inflation but gold declined. Each of these 3 names may have had their own issues, I am down between 20 - 50 % on them. What is your view on gold going forward? What is your view on each of these 3 equities? Hold or sell, and why? Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Thoughts on this company. The performance looks to be a disaster. Has Rob become insulated from reality or does he see something we don’t? Living on the past and former reputation seems to have expired. Yet he pours millions more into it. Do you see anything you like with this company or would you sell and move on. It feels similar to Xebec.
