Q: Hi,
I have shares of Equinox Gold in my TFSA and a few months ago they separated their copper assets into a company called Solaris Copper Inc. There was no value assigned to the shares, I'm not sure if they are even a public company yet.
Regardless I assumed the shares will just sit there until a value is assigned and they could be traded publicly. Recently I received a letter from iTRADE informing me that the shares of Solaris are a non qualified security and all income earned and all capital gains derived from the non-qualified investment will be reported to Canada Revenue Agency on a T3RET trust return . Any tax payable on this amount will be levied directly against the TSFA account.
Can you explain this to me? The shares have no value so I can't see that I am on the hook for any penalty. 50% of $0 is $0. Secondly I am angry at Equinox for putting me in this position.
Thanks,
Charlie

Q: XAU owns near 80 M shares of Mene. In the Q, I read, the class B shares will be marked to market on Goldmoney’s balance sheet in subsequent quarters.
Not sure what this means. I believe this will have no impact on EPS, even when sold this will be a one time revenue, is this correct ? How do you see this moving the sp of XAU should Mene ever become say a $ 1.00 stock?
Thanks for all your help.

Q: Caledonia's share price seems to have plateaued somewhat since at least November 2018, trading mostly between $7 and $8. I've done well by it but am growing impatient. It is a relatively small holding in my TFSA. I'm wondering if I'm better off selling and investing the proceeds elsewhere. (I have three other mining holdings.) As always, I welcome your insights.

Q: What is your take on the suspension of dividend, does this change your generally positive long term outlook? Looking to balance Gold exposure in my portfolio due to the strong run of KL, do you see MUX as a viable option? What are your thoughts on management, debt and safety of their operating jurisdictions?
