Patiently waiting for the Ceibal first assays, that were due Jun but delayed to Jul, so should be soon. I'm speculating on those being very good, but prepared to be crushed. eeeeek
LCL in a trading halt this morning pending an announcement in relation to a proposed capital raising. Not a bad time to raise capital with the share price at 18c. They should probably try to get as much cash in the bank as possible as global markets may be in for a bumpy ride over the next 12 months.
Maybe gives me a chance to buy in.Hopefully there's a story behind the reason to raise as well. Like buying another drill rig and increasing the workforce.
Disappointed that the MD lied in previous statements regarding not needing to raise money in 2021.
It is a good pile of cash to rake in. I didn't think HCH would get a premium for funding, same thoughts for LCL. But a raising at 16 cents is a good haul.$20m is quite a lot given the MC is only around the $80m mark. Issued at 0.16c only a slight discount to the current sp so not too much damage to be done. Happy to see Sprott involved, should give them some exposure to US investors. Buying a couple more rigs is good news. Once they're up and spinning should be a more steady flow of results and quickly define the resource at Tesorito.
Not sure how Mr Market will see it.

I still think the country risk/grade reward ratio is unfavorable right now, but they'll have some wiggle room now. Always like to see more rigs turning.
Colombian explorer with a new discovery Los Cerros, formerly Metminco, owns two projects in Colombia's prolific Mid Cauca belt, host to >60Moz of gold. Flagship 100% owned Quinchia has a small 840koz UG resource with DFS, and low-grade pittable 459koz; the ‘ah hah’ moment came with the discovery of the Tesorito South porphyry <1km away. Drilling there has demonstrated the trifecta of scale (629m @ 0.88g/t), grade (238m @ 2.1g/t), and a pit but also a high-grade starter area (36m @ 3.3g/t from surface). The maiden MRE is targeted ~1H22 once the limits are established. Existing small UG with A$297m NPV1850-5%: useful addition to a pit Prior owners had focussed on early cash-flow from the small Miraflores UG where a 457koz @ 3.3g/t reserve was defined within an 840koz @ 2.7g/t resource. Although production of 46koz pa on capex of A$90m is useful, it lacks scale. However, like Didipio in the Philippines, when bolted onto a potential pit a few hundred meters away, it has the potential to bulk out production ounces. Recent discovery could see SCPe 1.5-2Moz maiden MRE in 1H22 Post three holes drilled by prior owners, drilling did not restart at pace until 2020. Early drilling hit lower grade and deeper material, but this subsequently proved to be peripheral to a high-grade core that daylights NE of this. A ~150m core within a ~220m halo supports our sensitised ~40-60Mt potential pit-constrained resource tonnage at various grades and cut-offs. This drives our 1.3Moz @ 1.1g/t mining inventory. Adding the UG, we model a 4Mtpa plant for LOM 166koz pa over 10 years (>200koz pa early years), driving an A$1.1bn NPV, although this is speculative ahead of the MRE.
