Q: I have started a small position in Gogold GGD. My research showed that the CEO behind Gogold has built and sold 4 precious metal mines in Mexico over the past few decades. So GGD is not his first rodeo and he, together with some of his team, have the knowledge to build smaller mines in Mexico. GGD currently has an operation in Parral, Chihuahua, Mexico which is successfully processing tailings of historic mines. The modest profits from the Parral mine not only can cover all of the G & A costs of GGD but they should be able to add to the GGD capital (This operation is projected to produce 2 million SEO this year with production costs around $20, so using a low silver price of $60 GGD can net out $80 million this year from a very modest tailings processing operation). The growth project is the "los Ricos South" mine in the state of Jalisco (about 90 minutes from Guadalajara). GGD did a share offering late last fall and now GGD is sitting on about $150 million of capital (Appreciated if you can confirm that?) The los ricos mine only needs $225 ish to get built and the experienced management team is confident they can use reasonably priced debt to finance the remaining mine building capital that will be required. GGD has contracted low cost, hydro power for that mine and they have the transmision line access engineered. So GGD apparently has good rock, good financing, some infrastructure and good management BUT they still don't have the permit to build Los Ricos. Analysts say that if/when the permit is issued the stock should rocket upwards. No permit and the stock will languish BUT at least GGD's small tailings processing plant can generate enough cash to cover G & A plus add to the capital accumulation. I like the risk versus potential reward for GGD and therefore I started a position. Am I missing something in this story? I am currently in Mexico and I am well aware of Vizla's tragedy up in Sinaloa. I see that as an extreme, but isolated event. But again, is there something else I should think about if I want to hold, or add to my GGD postion?

Q: My only small biotech investment (perhaps I should say Gamble) is Nervgen NVG. I am up nicely so I put it in the the "leave it alone" list of stocks that we have. Today it came to my attention that management decided to delist from the Canadian venture exchange since they have a listing on the Nasdaq (to save admin costs). I am fine with that but in the press release there was no mention of what kind of exchange rate we will receive since the Nasdaq listing is obviously in $USD. I believe that I bought our NRV in $CAD on the venture and not on the Nasdaq (our platform RBC shows that as well). So how does it work when a company delists from an exchange in one currency, leaving the remaining listing in a different currency. If you can give any additional thoughts or comments on NRV's prospects I would certainly appreciate it since it is a name that gets very little press.

Q: It appears MAXQ will lease one of its launch pads to the Dept. Of National Defence generating 20M CAD per year for 10 years. Presumably the money is contingent on MAXQ finishing the construction of a launch pad for DND to use! So has MAXQ published a completion date for one of their 4 intended launch pads? Any other details about the lease you think relevant or a high barrier? One other thing…I know MDA has a seat on MAXQ’s board but are they a controlling shareholder?
Thank you,
Jim
