Q: Hello 5i Could you comment on your opinion as the the takeover of Yamana. The take over is expected to take place by the end of March /23. There are 2 options 1 is to sell into the market or 2 take the cash and shares in the 2 takeover companies. The price of gold seems to be on the rise. Therefore if a person chose the shares they may rise in value from the takeover date.

Q: I know AEM is one of the most frequently mentioned gold stocks when 5i is asked for a gold stock recommendation. Since October the price of gold has essentially been a straight line up and to the right. I see no insider buying at AEM. What are we missing? They seem to be a non performer!

Q: I'm interested in re-entering the gold mining market with central banks around the world are starting to increase their gold reserves. I used own these three names - YRI, BTO, and FNV - in the past. I'm surprised that all three are now dividend payers!

Would you be interested in these three names again at this juncture? Kindly rank them in the order of preference and also please add if there are other gold miner names that I should consider (regardless of yield).

Thanks.

Q: Given a competing offer will not be coming and it from my math it seems YRI current price is not really showing any discount (you can take a look) to the current offer, would you suggest its time to move on and look for a replacement. Any suggestions besides AEM/BTO for safer precious metals holdings who are paying a decent dividend.

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: I find inside buying is potentially worthwhile evidence of future prospects of a company. Just a hunch, but I am not sure inside buying or selling can tell me much about gold companies, especially not with the more established companies. Gold does seem quite out of favour, and so I think it would be worthwhile to park some of my idle cash (I am 25% cash, because I just am not finding too many bargains) in one or two large cap and small cap companies: The chart and divy of Yamana looks intriguing. Can you suggest any up and coming junior miners?
