Q: Hi team,
I am aware that you are positive about this company,s outlook and management ability ,but over the last two weeks,even as the price of gold has gone up 50$ BTO,s stock price has been week.WIth it,s Fekola mine in Mali to start producing on Oct.1 and the overall gold production doubling to 950,000 ounces in fiscal 2018,would now be an opportunity to accumulate shares or is the jump in production already factored in the share price?
Many thanks,
Jean

Q: I would like an update on LGO, also your opinion on the developments with Vanadium use in batteries (VRB's, VFB's, VRFB's, Redox) it appears to be much better than lithium batteries. Also it's use as a film for reflecting heat from windows, appears to have many potential uses.
Could you also explain the July 12 press release, doesn't make sense to me.

Q: I currently have about 5%- 7% of my portfolio in materials - SJ and MX specifically. If you accept the thesis that worldwide economic growth is improving would it be wise to also have some metals representation in my holdings or would you expect all materials to grow at the same time - i.e. a rising tide lifts all ships. I was thinking of Teck.B for this purpose if you think it is warranted. I do realize that 3 stocks are usually better than two for diversification but I only want to add (or switch) if you think I would be missing out on an important sector.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi Team, Perhaps this is a clarifying question....? Below is my question about MGX and 5iR's response. My question on your answer is you are saying that there are other companies who posses the technology to extract lithium from oil and gas waste water. If so could you name them for me? Clearly the key for me is the Li extraction technology and patent. Thanks team. Chris
Hi Team, I would appreciate your thoughts on MGX Minerals. It appears this Canadian company has patented a filtration system and recently successfully tested it for the removal of Li from oil and gas waste water. In addition purified water is a by product. I have been following the Li story and own shares in ORL and ALB. However, it seems this process is cheaper, faster and more efficient than the current solar and hard rock mining methods and we have lots of O&G. MGX can also apply their technology to recover magnesium and boron. Quite frankly the technology that MGX has tested seems to me like a HUGE discovery and breakthrough. Thanks Team Chris

Answer:
The stock is certainly attracting interest, up 414% in a year and 94% YTD. Market cap is now $65M. Insiders own 35%. But there is no revenue, little cash and negative cash flow. It has some patents for metals recovery but there are other companies in this business, and we do like to see revenue and third-party confirmation of the robustness of the technology. It is still early stages here.
