Q: My impression is that 5i has been quite bullish on ECN over time - so the recent price surge triggered additional research, only to find that 2018 and 2019 revenue estimates were well below current levels, -40%, which is a potential significant disconnect with respect to price appreciation for that period. Do you concur and what would be the impact of continuing rate rises.

Q: Hi Group - looking at buying a stock in the financial sector looking for most growth with lease risk. Also div would be good but not imperative. Presently own both TD + Nova Scotia. Also BOA + C in the US. I was thinking that JP Morgan or Visa would be good choices Canadian banks are not acting well even after their recent stellar earning. The us appears to be a better choice. Maybe an insurance company works here ? Than for your advise

Q: The company notes in it's presser that it will consider all available strategic and financial options to secure the required capital (to get the mine operational). Generally speaking the longer AQA can develop (and hold on too) a good mineable asset the better it will be for AQA and its shareholders. I suppose AQA have about 50 million still to spend from Osisko and they are going to need roughly an additional 250 million to get operational.
One option is dilution - sell shares to the public and retain 100% ownership. All things being equal the market cap would go up to 300 million and make a AQA a takeover target if the mine looked to be successful. All the new share holders will be looking to make a quick buck for sure.
Another option is a bank loan combined with dilution. However I don't see a bank loan unless the feasibility study indicates a high-grade zone near surface which could be mined quickly and be highly profitable. Even then I suspect the banks will hesitate to make a loan.
The last option would be to take on a larger mining company as a joint venture partner. This would leave AQA as part owner with cash flow which would be used to fund exploration at their two other sites. Once Osisko's money is all spent they will be pressing AQA to get operational as soon as possible. I think Osisko has a relationship with AEM who might be in turn be interested but maybe would want to see more gold ounces.
So AQA will spend most of the money it has left drilling the ore body looking for good grades especially good gold grades.
Do you think AEM would have any interest in the Back Forty deposit?
Last question on AQA for a while - I promise!
Thanks,
Jim
