Q: Greetings,
What do you think of sale of their Minto mine? I’ve owned this stock for a long time and thinking this might be about the right time to exit. Or, could this sale mean they are preparing for some possibly value enhancing acquisition?

Q: Hello team,

Since downgraded by BMO in Dec 2017, FR has fallen by almost 40%. I bought some at $8.80, knowing that you consider FR as a decent company. Since then the company acquired Primero (which you consider as a nice move) and also issued new debentures, which I think resulted in further weakness in the stock price. I have three questions for you:
1- Is the significant drop today (7%) market related or company specific?
2- What are their cash position and debt position now
3- At the current price, would you buy more if you had a 2.6% position?
I have no other exposure to metals/mining companies.

Thanks a lot for your invaluable input.

Q: Hi 5i Team, what is the NAV of MUX and is it a good time to buy. I don't understand why it has been so weak, every time it goes above $3.00 lots of sellers come in and drive it down to $2.60-$2.70. Thanks.

Q: What do you think of this company?

They seem to have a clean technology for extracting lithium and have been buying other companies that have claims in northern quebec.

Would you consider this a good buy at this time considering the drop in the share price this week?

Thanks
