The company changed its board of directors and plans to spin out non-core assets La Verde, Capricho, and Paco Orco into a new company.
Over the years on this blog and elsewhere I have written about mining investment. In particular, I wrote a course for EduMine called Mining Investment – Understanding the Risks.
The course has proven to be popular, and now the folk at EduMine have persuaded me to give the course as a live webcast. The webcast is planned for the 27, 28, and 29th March. It will consist of three, three-hour long sessions each day. Details are available at this link.
In preparation for the webcast, I have updated information, stories, advice, and opinions in the original EduMine course. So this promises to be a topical event.
The course is aimed at people like me and you: those of us interested in investing in mining, but not necessarily experts or full-time investment analysts.
The course explains the basics of mining, the basics of investing in mining, and the risk we face and can avoid if we know what we are doing. Thus we will survey companies, commodities, and countries. We will consider how the decision to invest in a specific company, commodity, or country may impact the success of a mining investment. We will talk about whether it is best to invest during exploration, feasibility studies, construction, or operation. Obviously it is not good to invest as the mine approaches or is in closure. We will examine scams and bubbles in mining. And most of all we will concentrate on how to read the signs that may portend an increase (or decrease) in share value and your net worth.
If you sign up for the webcast, you will also get free access to the full EduMine course, and all the new materials that I have prepared in anticipation of the webcast. I promise that in the coming months, we will update the EduMine course to include the new materials. So if you miss the webcast, you can still get the benefit of my stories, opinions, and advice by monitoring the EduMine course once we have added in the new materials.
So come and join us and participate in the discussion I trust will happen. Then go out and make money investing in mining. Or at least renew you investment activities with new ideas and insight.
(By way of disclosure: I do get paid for standing talking for three hours a day for three days. But believe me, it is not much by comparison with the amount of work I have put into writing the course and preparing for the webcast.)
PS. The picture above is me in a more spectacular setting than we will enjoy for the webcast.
PPS. EduMine is associated with other universities. They demand a high standard, but have not imposed their ideas on me.
