Chaarat Gold Share Discussion Threads

Interesting the massive difference in ownership of GGP vs CGH. One massive retail, one not.
GGP:
HL 23.5%
II 13.8%
Halifax 9.4%
Barclays 5.1%
Jarvis 5.0%
AJ Bell 3.8%

CGH still not captured the imagination of retail which could make a big difference when it finally does.

Australian assets so automatically valued more highly than FSU with more folk and II willing to take a punt.

That said, there have been several expensive duds in Australia. Google ARX Gold.

Amazingly GGP is now valued more highly than CGH. It is interesting to compare their production and resources (zero in both respects for GGP).

Defo a bit more liquid now

Many thanks casual, and others, for most informative posts..

A 20k share purchase spread out over 6 trades with an average price paid of 39.36p (range 38.80-39.60p)

Followed by two tiny trades at a much lower 37.20/37.55p.

Seems symptomatic of no liquidity - not much sales pressure to sell at 39p, not much buy pressure to raise the bid and take out higher priced sales offers.

Article from 2017 about the EBRD lending $140m to Polymetal for their Kyzyl mine in Kazakhstan. (It's extendable to $200m)

Note the huge amount of waffle around the EBRD painting this loan as a way for them to improve the conditions of women in the Kaz heavy industry labour market.

For those who have been paying attention to the Kapan social media updates this will ring a few bells - for example this:

@chaarat_kapan

Started January 2020 with 4 followers! Half a dozen tweets so far about community engagement, a bit of history of Kapan etc.

[2pablo] 07/2/2020 11:03

Chaarat Kapan twitter account ???

[casual47] 07/2/2020 10:23

Yep. It has been like watching puzzle pieces being put into place in real time.

Imo, the Kapan M&A was important not just so they are able to say they are a producer but also so they can demonstrate that they can do ESG and do it well.

Chaarat has been remoulded, step by step, into the image of what the ERBD considers the ideal company.....imo.

It's all realpolitik - there is still no bull market in the gold mining sector, despite the gold price, and Chaarat have basically done what they had to do to survive. Majority independent board, ESG focus.... all that stuff.

[manxbean] 07/2/2020 10:02

I think you're correct Casual, something is brewing. There is a lot more corporate image now also with the Chaarat Kapan twitter account and activity on linkedin which is focused on getting the corporate responsibility message out. It has to be the courting of the EBRD. Securing funding through the EBRD would be a huge gamechanger.

[casual47] 06/2/2020 23:16

The timing of this sort of stuff is not a coincidence, imo:

This is Artem's presentation at MINEX Eurasia end of November last year. The link is at the timestamp which I think is most interesting



Transcript of the snippet from that timestamp:

"the remaining $80 million dollars we are in advanced discussions to raise it via debt (???Can anyone decode this word?) finance from one of the multilateral financial institutions and that is expected to close in the first quarter of next year, effectively enabling us to build this project without any further equity dilution"

He could have misspoken, but this could mean that they are only dealing with one lender e.g. EBRD?

Note: "multilateral financial institution" can only mean one thing -- something like the EBRD. The EBRD could of course further fan out the debt via syndications to other banks.

[casual47] 06/2/2020 18:13

The longer they are holding up the news the bigger the deal which I think is being done behind the scenes.

Perhaps it's not the loan notes being renegotiated which is holding up the news but the actual Tulkubash project finance itself?

Next week marks the halfway point of the first quarter......

[jc2706] 06/2/2020 16:41

Almost certainly the case.

[casual47] 06/2/2020 15:07

Could be e.g. someone buying 80k shares from 12 different sellers or 12 different sell limit orders.

What matters would be the average buy price and the fact they want 80k shares. That's how some could be picked up cheaper, some at higher price.

[jc2706] 06/2/2020 14:57

They may look like lots of buys but they are, in fact, just one given the time stamp.

[sparkyboy1] 06/2/2020 13:12

See lots of buys two at 40p but no price increase?

[casual47] 06/2/2020 09:56

The timing of Mr. Gilman joining Chaarat as director and his starting QRC, taking over LNC and changing its business from owning a lithium mine asset to becoming an investment vehicle is interesting.

[casual47] 05/2/2020 21:46

Warren Gilman's new company:



They will soon have $73m cash to use for investing in resource companies via convertible debentures. The business idea is that they hand select worthy companies and earn money by way of interest and also via warrants / upside on converting into shares.
