Q: Re: Mayfair Gold Corp and Snowline Gold Corp

Watched an interesting interview with Darren Mclean who highlighted a couple of gold companies:
MFG (not listed on your database yet) and SGD.
He's the one who actually flew satellites over mining projects and read drill reports personally to decide whether projects were a "scam" or legit.

What drew me to this was the idea that Muddy Waters and Darren Mclean are taking long positions in these companies, despite their primary business being short sellers.

Here is the original article by Larry McDonald of the Globe and Mail, including the video link:

Wondering what your thoughts are on these two companies, especially as share prices have run up parabolically on SGD?
My interest would be in small speculative positions only.

Thanks and happy holidays.

Q: Can you comment on the impact of the Jan1st Chinese restriction of exports (some licensing conditions apparently apply) on silver, tungsten and other elements/metals? Has Shanghai effectively taken dominance over the silver market? The silver bugs are excited for expected huge stock price increases due to the high demand and low supply situation. My thanks.

Q: Please give your assessment of the impact of the recent Lundin Mining acquisition. The markets seem to be reacting postively, but what is your take on the new CEO and the company framing itself as a "multi-asset" nickel-copper company? Has the company finally transitioned from exploration to production?

Q: There is no urgency to this request. What are my options to purchase Canadian producers of iron ore and steel? I may buy a partial in LIF but I am more interested in growth than income. I have recently taken a small position in RIO.

Thank you,

Mike
