Phil, I think I now understand what I do not understand.

I hold shares in MGR,
and MGR has presently a 49% interest in Bumbat Mill,
another independent company, MAC, holds 51% in Bumbat Mill.

What I was not understanding was a simply business fact.

The value of a share of MGR has built in it the speculation value
of a 49% part of the Bumbat Mill.

If MGR got the remaining 51%, and speculation of its [Bumbat Mill]
future value was to remain at the present low valuation, then a
share of MGR will not increase in value.

But if the price of gold increases, then the value of MGR will be
higher with 100%, rather than 49%, of the Bumbat Mill.

So I forgot, presently we share any profits with MAC.

Its hard for me to identify to myself that which I do not know that
I do not know. Easier to know that one does not understand, and its
no problem for me to know when I'am wrong.

Thanks
Doug

I would think the key factor here is the TD Bank....and its proven trust worthiness..... in a new nation that is in some turmoil as it attempts to convert to a new economic system!

IMO the negotiations will likely succeed in our favour and when the price of goal goes up then this company is a superb investment again...its ready to produce at a reasonable cost, adjacent to a growing market and has prospects of additional reserves!
