Q: I’d like to know what you think of small cap CDB.V (Cordoba Minerals). Their main project (Alacran) is in Columbia. Recently they partnered up with Chinese mine construction co. JCHX, who purchased 50% of the Alacran project for $US100,000,000. This certainly makes the current market cap of CAD$45M look cheap. Years ago this was a favoured stock of Brent Cook and Joe Mazumdar, but they lost interest when Robert Friedland took control of the company (via IE), citing that further development had lost its urgency and near term returns unlikely. They were quite correct, as it’s 5 years later and little has happened except share price collapse helped by RF diluting retail shareholders to oblivion. Things do finally seem to be looking positive with the JCHX involvement, so I’d like your opinion, how the future might play out for this stock considering IE’s significant control position and the small retail float, – e.g. Given RF’s prior behaviour in similar circumstances do you think he’s likely to either promote this and liquidate part of his investment in future, or continue to grind the retail float to dust? (PS, they have another greenfield asset in Nevada with Bell Copper (BCU), but it’s not clear if this option has any value)
