Q: I’d like to know what you think of small cap CDB.V (Cordoba Minerals). Their main project (Alacran) is in Columbia. Recently they partnered up with Chinese mine construction co. JCHX, who purchased 50% of the Alacran project for $US100,000,000. This certainly makes the current market cap of CAD$45M look cheap. Years ago this was a favoured stock of Brent Cook and Joe Mazumdar, but they lost interest when Robert Friedland took control of the company (via IE), citing that further development had lost its urgency and near term returns unlikely. They were quite correct, as it’s 5 years later and little has happened except share price collapse helped by RF diluting retail shareholders to oblivion. Things do finally seem to be looking positive with the JCHX involvement, so I’d like your opinion, how the future might play out for this stock considering IE’s significant control position and the small retail float, – e.g. Given RF’s prior behaviour in similar circumstances do you think he’s likely to either promote this and liquidate part of his investment in future, or continue to grind the retail float to dust? (PS, they have another greenfield asset in Nevada with Bell Copper (BCU), but it’s not clear if this option has any value)

Q: Does 5i have a preference for any particular US or Canadian silver miners? In the past, the go to name was always First Majestic but the fiasco surrounding Jerritt Canyon seems to have hampered the company.

Thank you as always

Q: hi, what are thoughts on where gold prices are heading ( and inflation etc. ). as a former gold bug, I am finding it harder to keep holding AEM after it's humdrum "rally". are input costs these days just too much for these companies to gain any traction? has crypto gambling taken over as the doom and gloom trade/play? do you see AEM moving higher/lower in following 3 scenarios: 1 inflation stalls 2 inflation increases 3 inflation decreases ? cheers, Chris

Q: hello 5i:
please comment on the following headline:

NexGen Announces Strategic Purchase of 2.7 Million Pounds of Uranium with Issuance of US$250 Million Convertible Debenture

Obviously the market didn't like it. Did they pay too much for the product? How could this help them going forward? Will the debentures be available for retail buyers and at what price? How does 5i feel about the debentures on a risk/reward basis?
Add as much colour as you feel is relevant.
thanks
Paul L
