Challenges for funding of juniors

▪ Distractions

==> picture [47 x 57] intentionally omitted <==

Tech

Massive Venture Capital Inflows / Huge investment into unlisted tech

==> picture [90 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

Pot

Regulatory platform in North America / Equity market infatuation

▪ Investment market stratification

  • Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

  • Index Funds

  • Royalty Companies

==> picture [116 x 110] intentionally omitted <==

ASX : LSX | 17

Growth oriented thinking in full flight

▪ Seeing two styles of M&A:

▪ Large deals (Barrick / Randgold, Newmont / Goldcorp, Kirkland / Detour)

(not hostile, non-competitive premiums)

▪ Producers investing in / taking over juniors

(Industry cash flow the primary source of investment for progressing juniors AND shows value is compelling to established miners)

In both cases: driven by a desire for greater scale
