The following was posted on NOT's hub, which I own a small chunk of. However I am large on VMS. Is this comparison concerceate:
|
Firstly, Hudbay Minerals has a 70% back-in agreement for relatively small $$$ leaving VMS with 30%. As measured against NOT's 100% interest, NOT has the edge by a large, large margin.
NOT has nearly 70 m of mineralization vs. VMS 43.05 - Advantage: NOT.
As for ore value per tonne, the Cu-Zn-Au-Ag combined metals credits for VMS came to U.S.$431.70 versus the Ni-Cu-PGM combined credits of a tad under U.S.$2,500. Advantage: NOT (going up against NOT in metal credits analysis have NOT duelling with an unarmed man)
Infrastructure and location: VMS is in a superb locale - the Snow Lake VMS belt in Manitoba has all the power, water, roads, labour etc one could ever hope for. Advantage VMS
Market cap: NOT $350M VMS $41.57M Advantage VMS
Conclusion: RD 07-02 is a great hole but NOT #5 is a stunningly rich spectacular drill hole. VMS did a lousy deal with that back-in agreement and thus will not even hit my radar screen.
Nice try, though.
