Q: Peter and team,

Can you please provide thoughts on the management changes at Kirkland Lake Gold (announced today)? I've owned this for a while now and have been beat up being patient. Now I see some key people like Mark Tessier leaving and I'm curious if I should look at this is the time to accept the loss and reduce my gold exposure.

Of course, I'd like to replace it with something that has huge torque and can win me my money back with no risk... any thoughts? (Just kidding here, of course but I am happy to take any idea!)

Q: Hi,
I have a double-weighting in Goldcorp (G) and notice it is relatively volatile in price. Does it make sense to try to hold something to counter-balance this in my portfolio? Or should I just accept a bit of volatility in 10% of my stock portfolio? If it makes sense to counter-balance what would you recommend? The rest of my portfolio consists of 5i model portfolio stocks (except the B or lower rated ones). Thanks! Michael

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team

I would like to get a detailed answer from the team regarding Zen or Zenyatta Ventures. Specifically they have had great drilling results throughout the summer and have just gotton a sizeable NRC grant.

Although the 43-101 hasnt been published there is enough data with the drill results coupled with industry information to at least start basing a NAV.

1) Will you be covering this stock in the future after the 43-101?

2) Do you have any specific concerns for this stock?

3) What would you deem a likely buyout scenario to be?

Much appreciated in advance and always look forward to hearing your perspective.

Phil

Q: CEF.A: asked by Richard

"if CEF sold all of its gold at the current price, and bought back all of its shares, it would be 5% short."

Not sure of the answer as expressed here.
The shares trade at 5% discount to the bullion. Selling all the bullion and buying back the units at the current discount yields a 5% cash surplus. Publish at your discretion.

Q: Ivernia - IVW TSE
IVW is a pure play for Lead, and as commodities go, Lead has been performing well. The boom in car production bodes well for Lead, both in emerging markets and developed. Magna and the likes of GM, Ford Toyota have already had big moves, would the guys mining the Lead from the ground be an untapped way to gain exposure to the automotive market?
