Investment Q&A

Q: May I have your thoughts on the 1 for 7 share consolidation? To me the company’s explanations make little sense. Most investors will understand GOT is an exploration company and consequently inherently high risk. So the share price is irrelevant. They are listed on the Vancouver exchange which must have a low minimum share price to maintain their listing. I don’t understand why they would want to list on the TSX with its higher listing costs as well as elevated minimum share price. If the float is reduced presumably the shares will become more volatile…and they’re already volatile enough! I feel management is not being truthful with the shareholders however I would like to have your take on the situation.
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Do you still like HSTR? To my layman’s eyes it seems to be “firing on all cylinders”. Thinking of selling my GOT to make the purchase. HSTR plots better than GOT, it has a higher market capitalization and it is already profitable. I believe it’s mines are all located in Mexico so there is some potential robbery/extortion issues I suppose. Any other comparative negatives?
Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Jim

Q: Could you please do a review on this company and give me some insight?

Q: Hi Peter…Any red flags with GOT’s latest private placement? Are the “Broker Warrants” a deal sweetener? I presume the Broker will want to peddle the warrants to the major shareholders at some point in the future…maybe when the warrants are “in-the-money”. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: I understand GOT is planning to drive an exploration adit at its gold prospect. Do you feel they have done sufficient drilling to justify the adit? I anticipate the adit will escalate the exploration risks / costs. I note no major gold miner has taken an interest in the project as I don’t consider McEwan a major player. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Jim

Q: Hi Peter…May I have your thoughts on the McEwen announcement? I can’t figure out who is buying whom. It looks like GOT is taking a position in McEwen which seems distracting. Can GOT sell the $10 million worth of McEwen shares? Is this a start of a merger? Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: Hi Peter…Would you buy more GOT now? They seem to be posting excellent grades today. My weighting is 1/2 of 1%. Still maybe I should just let the stock ride. Gold is just so hard to call. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Jim

Q: May I have your thoughts on GOT’s latest press release concerning 2024 drilling? To my layman’s eyes the grades posted seemed generally positive but not much more. The market greeted the announcement with a big yawn. I think they need a director of communications!

Q: Peter; Good thing renewal is coming up after this I’m done to one ? With your old traders hat on what did you think of this mornings announcement of the Singapore group jumping in for $2M of the flow thru.? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter…Today’s headline “Strategic Investors Exercise Warrants Early”. The stock is up slightly today in a down market likely due to encouraging drill results and today’s posting the news about the investors exercising the warrants. Do you know if Eric Sprott has been exercising his warrants (assuming he is a strategic investor and has warrants)! Do these warrants trade? A couple of days ago a press release stated that for one hole the visible gold in the core was becoming “coarser”, suggesting the hole is close to penetrating the centre of the ore body. I assume “coarser” means the gold crystals are becoming larger. Do you know if that is logical or just wishful thinking? I own slightly more than 2,000 shares and am thinking about buying some more. I generally don’t purchase warrants but might reconsider.
The news suggests veins at depth so production costs will be substantial - if it ever reaches that stage.

Q: Hi Peter...Do you have any comments on GOT's latest press release? Do you feel they have enough money to fund this year's drill program or is there a strong likelyhood of a share offering in the not too distant future? Any change in insider ownership? Does Eric Sprott, (a noted "gold bug") still own 9% of the common stock? The share price is down slightly today which may indicate investor sentiment that a share offering is in the works. Of course that's what's public markets are for!
Jim

Q: Goliath is up 9% noon today on strong volume. My news feed shows only old news. Is there some development posted on your service provider or simply someone buying a thinly traded stock (like your old boss)?
Jim

Q: May I have your thoughts on GOT.V latest discovery? If I understand the press release correctly they have discovered additional mineralization where glaciers have retreated. They appear to be “grab samples” so they haven’t done any drilling to get any idea how deep is the mineralization. Risks are still high! Have insiders maintained or increased their positions since my January 2023 question? I note the stock is slightly higher than a year ago, probably mostly due to weaker interest rates! Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Jim

Q: May I have your comments on GOT's "Golddigger" project? Their website seems somewhat over promotional even though this area in BC has produced mines going back to Anoyx' mines in 1912. The mineralized zone on the side of a mountain seems, to my layman's eye, to be tricky to mine. I guess if the mineralization grades are high and consistent enough... Have any senior miners taken up GOT's stock? Does management have significant money committed to GOT's stock? Are the Nisga'a onside?
Any comments you have would be appreciated.
