Condor Gold Share Discussion Threads

[888icb] 31/3/2023 00:14

The interview was not about CNR. The point was that all the points he made could apply to Condor. Multi bagging junior miners and a gold bull market underway.CNR is further along the road than Ross Beaty’s company as it has a BFS and is permitted ready to start mining. The point I made is that Ross believes in selling prior to production and Condor decided to go for production. CNR has now decided to go down Ross’s preferred route which has been such for him 8x in the past.

Interesting interview indeed, and 888 you correctly mention that Ross has sold most of his CNR holdings already a few years ago. Also, Ross does not mention CNR with a single word in the interview, even though (or because?) he knows the company so well.

Gollygeewillickers gold is up and condors down.

This Ross Beaty interview is a must watch for anyone interested in what Condor is currently doing with its sale process :

He explains the situation in the gold market and how it is changing for the better after sometime in the doldrums particularly for the Junior Gold companies that will be the biggest beneficiaries with some very large increases in value. The company he is specifically talking about is not as far along the road as Condor but he is clear he will take it to the point CNR is at now when he will sell to a large gold producer as he has done 8x previously.
This probably gives an explanation for Ross Beaty reducing his shareholding in Condor 2 or 3 years ago because he didn’t agree with the strategy of going into production. Ross Beaty is a gold industry legend and was spoken of highly by the guy from the Swiss Gold Newsletter who recently tipped CNR.
Condor is doing the right thing at the right time as the next bull run for gold is underway and the price of Junior gold companies is about to rise very strongly.

Calibre share price doing well
Some may know more that meets the eye
During last month: Up 30% , double than the Hui , Xau indexes
Cnr has done even better but not lately

As far as i have been told there are two pieces of land with miners on it. Two different owners: the Coop, and a private owner.
I would say Locals are worry bcs many mining jobs are gone, which is educational for them of things to come.
Either we do a land swap in agreement with locals, government intervenes, or we are allow to drop dead into the compose bin if things don’t come to fruition by the time licences need renewing
Hopefully government will intervine before end of June 2023 to find a fair solution, this is taking too long and we have printed so many shares in the way they are worth a fraction of what majority people paid for them. Majority warrant holders can’t convert either

It seems The rns and videos are helping a bit the sp

I was going to say run into the ground but they haven't managed to buy the ground to run it into

It is worth reading todays RNS to remind yourself what CNR is selling in terms of gold and it’s potential value:
“ The Company's strategy has been to develop the fully permitted La India Project in two stages using the new SAG Mill that has already been purchased. The delivery of a Feasibility Study on La India open pit with an average of 81,524 oz gold per annum for the initial six years for a relatively low total upfront capital cost of US$106 million is a landmark and further de-risks the Project. At US$1,600 oz gold, the La India open pit Mineral Reserve produces total revenues of US$888 million, the total operating costs of mining, process and G&A are US$480 million, leading to an operating profit of US$408 million or a 46% operating margin. After government and other royalties, but before sustaining capital, the operating profit is US$355 million, which in Condor's opinion is ample to repay any project debt on the relatively low upfront capex. At US$2,000 oz gold after paying royalties, but before sustaining capital the operating profit is US$563 million. In reality, two permitted high grade feeder pits will be added during the early years of production thus increasing production ounces of gold. Early production is targeted at 100,000 oz gold p.a.

The plan would be to materially expand production with a stage two expansion by converting existing Mineral Resources into Mineral Reserves and an associated integrated mine plan. On 25 October 2021, the Company announced the results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment and filed on SEDAR a technical report entitled "Condor Gold Technical Report on the La Indian Gold Project, Nicaragua, 2021" detailing average annual production of 150,000 oz of gold over the initial nine years of production from open pit and underground Mineral Resources and provides an indication of a production target. Outside the main La India open pit Mineral Reserve, there are additional open pit Mineral Resources on four deposits (America, Mestiza, Central Breccia and Cacao) which represent an aggregate 206 Kt at 9.9 g/t gold for 66,000 oz in the indicated Mineral Resource category and 2.1Mt at 3.3 g/t gold for 223,000 oz gold in the inferred Mineral Resource category. In addition, there is an aggregate underground Mineral Resource (La India, America, Mestiza, Central Breccia San Lucas, Cristalito-Tatescame, and Cacao) of 979Kt a 6.2 g/t for 194,000 oz gold in the indicated Mineral Resource category and 5.6Mt at 5.0 g/t gold for 898,000 oz gold in the inferred Mineral Resource category.”
The current Market Cap on £40 million is such a massive undervaluation it can’t remain at this level for long as a sale gets closer with every day that passes. The sale process is being run very professionally with no leaks so it is highly likely that we will get an RNS one morning and the share price will open at a much higher level.

I sincerely hope your average is nowhere near £0.75p? GLA.

dexdringle,

Got to say I am glad to have read you lost plenty of money here.

Karma!

[book5] 28/3/2023 07:18

Rns out, sell pitch.
Anything new?
What about deeds registration, one of the main reasons fo raising cap?
When will rest of land be bought? Deadline? Cpo? Price?
Too many DNA

Even if that were the case, and let's face it 888 wakes every day in cloud cuckoo land, minorities are likely to get shafted. Look at the people in charge. There is a well defined pattern. I would never get involved with anything that Jim Mellon does ever again. Neither would I joint the Saint moritz tobogganing club for that matter, if I were a keen tobogganer.

[oldiegoldie] 27/3/2023 22:01

Mark is clearly in a luxurious negotiation position here: „You can have it for 400M with what I consider all the land, but the remaining 0,4% are priceless“.

[888icb] 27/3/2023 21:36

Just to offer an option to the nonsense posting that frequents this bb, here is a post looking at potential value from Dictumdedicto on lse:
“ I'm guessing the "between $100m and $200m' was inspired by the FS:

IRR of 23% and a post tax, post upfront capital cost NPV of US$86.9 million using a discount
rate of 5% and price of US$1,600 oz gold (Mineral Reserve Case).

IRR of 43% and a post tax, post upfront capital cost NPV of US$205.2 million using a discount rate of5% and price of US$2,000 oz gold

If you go back to the 'LA INDIA PROJECT SEPTEMBER 2021 PEA EXPANSION SCENARIO
to 150,000 oz gold p.a.' (deck headline) the numbers change to:

IRR of 54% and a post-tax NPV of US$418 million, after deducting upfront capex, at a discount rate of 5% and gold price of US$1,700/oz.

So, one way or another, the buyers will enter negotiation with a 'safe $100m opening gambit, and CNR will have said f... off, we are thinking $400m. Neither side will get their wish list answer but it will likely end up perhaps around the $250m - $300m zone. If there is real competition for the asset it could go a bit higher, especially if there is confidence in $1900 gold sustaining.

Just my latest thinking on the situation, albeit I'm guessing just like everyone else.”

888 bought a share in the co.
I'm a shareholder now, he said, yo!
I've got skin in the game
Bet you can't say the same
You'll be jealous when I'm schmoozing with Mark Child at the next AGM if there is one.

[connect5] 27/3/2023 15:07

That's a truly confident show of prudence.

[diggybee] 27/3/2023 13:53

He bought all 6,000 shares I think.

[connect5] 27/3/2023 09:26

Did you buy any more this morning based on being prudent? I won't expect a reply as is your usual method of operation.

[diggybee] 27/3/2023 08:08

Could well be. Remember they have all that copper that rio tinto were super interested in. Will need that copper for the electric car company. Or actually no....the flying condor. A car/plane. We should have known this was coming all along.

[oldiegoldie] 27/3/2023 07:17

Redefining a gamble as a „quality company“ is really a good one. How many superlatives are left? Will CNR be the new Tesla or the new Apple? Difficult to say

A summary of that interview in Canada:
“ One of my big themes today is that after this big bear market you can buy quality companies — companies with production growth — at a discount," Claude Bejet of Swiss Gold Letter said.

Junior gold stocks have endured a difficult bear market, but Claude Bejet of Swiss Gold Letter sees better times ahead.

Speaking at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention, he said a turnaround began late last October and was confirmed on November 4, when the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (ARCA:GDX) saw an 11 percent increase.

"The index was not up 3 percent, 4 percent — it was up a huge 11 percent," Bejet said. "My experience in markets ... is bull markets start with a bang, and a bang we had. So I think we're in for a lot of better markets and great profit opportunities."

He prefers to invest in gold exploration companies, but said that large companies are selling at low prices right now.

"One of my big themes today is that after this big bear market you can buy quality companies — companies with production growth — at a discount," Bejet explained. Those include stocks like Ross Beaty's Equinox Gold (TSX:EQX,NYSEAMERICAN:EQX) and Aris Mining (TSX:ARIS,OTCQX:TPRFF), whose board of directors includes Frank Giustra.

Bejet also suggested looking at possible takeover targets, mentioning Condor Gold (TSX:COG,LSE:CNR,OTC Pink:CNDGF) and Treasury Metals (TSX:TML,OTCQX:TSRMF) as companies that will potentially be snapped up.

On the silver side, he pointed to Keith Neumeyer's First Majestic Silver (TSX:FR,NYSE:AG), as well as Guanajuato Silver (TSXV:GSVR,OTCQX:GSVRF) and Avino Silver & Gold Mines (TSX:ASM,NYSEAMERICAN:ASM). Bejet also mentioned Aurion Resources (TSXV:AU,OTCQX:AIRRF) as a more speculative precious metals play to consider.”

Well, 75p would work for me. That'd be my money back plus a little bit (not enough mind) for pain and suffering !!

[connect5] 26/3/2023 12:24

When you've been down on your so called investment for nigh on the 12 years, £0.75p sounds like manna from heaven.
