TORONTO, May 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Plateau Energy Metals Inc. (“Plateau” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:PLU | OTCQB:PLUUF) advises that, the Company and two of its officers have received a Notice of Hearing together with a Statement of Allegations from staff of the Ontario Securities Commission (the “OSC”) announcing the commencement of regulatory proceedings to consider whether the Company and such officers engaged in conduct that warrants the OSC making an order against them.

The Statement of Allegations consists of allegations consistent with those contained in notices previously received and announced in the Company’s press release dated March 15, 2021, and relates to the Company’s public disclosure in 2019 regarding the status of the Company’s title to 32 mineral concessions in Peru and whether the Company met its obligations related to continuous disclosure, associated filings and related activities. The 32 mineral concessions at issue were the subject of the Company’s March 2, 2021, press release.

Plateau remains of the view that it has complied with all of its disclosure obligations, and it intends to defend the allegations in the administrative proceedings.

The transaction with American Lithium Corp. announced on February 9, 2021, is scheduled to close on or about May 11, 2021.

Despite strong share price growth of 102% for Antofagasta plc (LON:ANTO) over the last few years, earnings growth has been disappointing, which suggests something is amiss. The upcoming AGM on 12 May 2021 may be an opportunity for shareholders to bring up any concerns they may have for the board’s attention. It would also be an opportunity for them to influence management through exercising their voting power on company resolutions, including CEO and executive remuneration, which could impact on firm performance in the future. From what we gathered, we think shareholders should be wary of raising CEO compensation until the company shows some marked improvement.

Check out our latest analysis for Antofagasta

How Does Total Compensation For Ivan Arriagada Herrera Compare With Other Companies In The Industry?

At the time of writing, our data shows that Antofagasta plc has a market capitalization of UK£19b, and reported total annual CEO compensation of US$3.9m for the year to December 2020. We note that's an increase of 60% above last year. We think total compensation is more important but our data shows that the CEO salary is lower, at US$589k.

On comparing similar companies in the industry with market capitalizations above UK£5.8b, we found that the median total CEO compensation was US$3.3m. From this we gather that Ivan Arriagada Herrera is paid around the median for CEOs in the industry.

On an industry level, roughly 65% of total compensation represents salary and 35% is other remuneration. In Antofagasta's case, non-salary compensation represents a greater slice of total remuneration, in comparison to the broader industry. It's important to note that a slant towards non-salary compensation suggests that total pay is tied to the company's performance.

Antofagasta plc's Growth

Over the last three years, Antofagasta plc has shrunk its earnings per share by 13% per year. It achieved revenue growth of 3.4% over the last year.

The decline in EPS is a bit concerning. And the modest revenue growth over 12 months isn't much comfort against the reduced EPS. These factors suggest that the business performance wouldn't really justify a high pay packet for the CEO. Looking ahead, you might want to check this free visual report on analyst forecasts for the company's future earnings..

Has Antofagasta plc Been A Good Investment?

Most shareholders would probably be pleased with Antofagasta plc for providing a total return of 102% over three years. So they may not be at all concerned if the CEO were to be paid more than is normal for companies around the same size.

To Conclude…

While the return to shareholders does look promising, it's hard to ignore the lack of earnings growth and this makes us question whether these strong returns will continue. Shareholders should make the most of the coming opportunity to question the board on key concerns they may have and revisit their investment thesis with regards to the company.

CEO compensation can have a massive impact on performance, but it's just one element. That's why we did some digging and identified 1 warning sign for Antofagasta that you should be aware of before investing.

Switching gears from Antofagasta, if you're hunting for a pristine balance sheet and premium returns, this free list of high return, low debt companies is a great place to look.

We often see insiders buying up shares in companies that perform well over the long term. The flip side of that is that there are more than a few examples of insiders dumping stock prior to a period of weak performance. So we'll take a look at whether insiders have been buying or selling shares in Stroud Resources Ltd. (CVE:SDR).

Do Insider Transactions Matter?

It's quite normal to see company insiders, such as board members, trading in company stock, from time to time. However, such insiders must disclose their trading activities, and not trade on inside information.

We would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing. But it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing. For example, a Harvard University study found that 'insider purchases earn abnormal returns of more than 6% per year'.

See our latest analysis for Stroud Resources

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Stroud Resources

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by insider Eric Sprott for CA$3.0m worth of shares, at about CA$0.40 per share. Although we like to see insider buying, we note that this large purchase was at significantly below the recent price of CA$0.78. While it does suggest insiders consider the stock undervalued at lower prices, this transaction doesn't tell us much about what they think of current prices.

You can see a visual depiction of insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last 12 months, below. If you click on the chart, you can see all the individual transactions, including the share price, individual, and the date!

Stroud Resources is not the only stock that insiders are buying. For those who like to find winning investments this free list of growing companies with recent insider purchasing, could be just the ticket.

Insider Ownership

Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Stroud Resources insiders own 57% of the company, currently worth about CA$22m based on the recent share price. Most shareholders would be happy to see this sort of insider ownership, since it suggests that management incentives are well aligned with other shareholders.

So What Does This Data Suggest About Stroud Resources Insiders?

There haven't been any insider transactions in the last three months — that doesn't mean much. But insiders have shown more of an appetite for the stock, over the last year. With high insider ownership and encouraging transactions, it seems like Stroud Resources insiders think the business has merit. So these insider transactions can help us build a thesis about the stock, but it's also worthwhile knowing the risks facing this company. At Simply Wall St, we've found that Stroud Resources has 3 warning signs (1 makes us a bit uncomfortable!) that deserve your attention before going any further with your analysis.

If you would prefer to check out another company — one with potentially superior financials — then do not miss this free list of interesting companies, that have HIGH return on equity and low debt.

For the purposes of this article, insiders are those individuals who report their transactions to the relevant regulatory body. We currently account for open market transactions and private dispositions, but not derivative transactions.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — George Sanders, President of Goldcliff Resource Corporation (“Goldcliff” or the “Company”) (GCN: TSX.V, GCFFF: OTCBB PINKS), reports that the trench sampling programme is well underway at the Company’s Kettle Valley Gold project, located near Rock Creek, B.C. Excavation of trenches began April 28, with nine trenches dug to date, along with several test pits. Goldcliff has an option to earn a 100% interest in this newly recognized epithermal mineral occurrence.

The property is located on the west side of the Rock Creek graben, a major north-south regional structure. Local scale structures investigated to date appear to strike north-south, so trenches were excavated in an east-west direction, perpendicular to strike. The area of interest is in a recent clear cut on a hillside. Trenches commenced as high as possible and were excavated down the slope of the hill. Rock exposures on a cliff face above the cut-block show extensive alteration/silicification and are thought to be the source of much of the mineralized float.

The Kettle Valley Gold project is a newly recognized precious metals occurrence. There is no evidence of previous staking, prospect pits, trenches or drill pads. Already observed in just a few days of field work is quartz-carbonate veining and silicification in several rock units. Significant structural preparation and fracturing is also evident. Rock exposed to date display some of the characteristics of the abundant mineralized float material; quartz-carbonate veining, multiple episodes of veining and stockwork, adularia, and bladed calcite.

Trench excavation was completed on May 4. Bedrock mapping and sampling is on-going. Prospecting, mapping, and detailed rock sampling of the cliff areas above the trenches will soon be undertaken.

Wayne Murton, P. Eng, qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 supervised the preparation and verification of the technical information contained in this release.

(TSXV:SUP) ("Northern Superior" or the "Company") and the Cree First Nation of Waswanipi ("CFNW") are pleased to announce that they have entered into a Mineral Exploration Agreement ("MEA") to facilitate the exploration of Northern Superior's 100% owned Lac Surprise gold exploration property. This MEA puts in place a framework for the CFNW and Northern Superior to work together before, during and after the Company's exploration activities within the CFNW traditional territory.

Dr. T.F. Morris, President and CEO of Northern Superior states: "We are very pleased for the opportunity to formally establish a working relationship with CFNW. Having both the support and involvement of the Community with our exploration program at Lac Surprise is key to the success of unlocking the mineral potential of the property".The progress of exploration activities for the Lac Surprise Property will be shared in real time with CFNW. I would like to thank Chief Happyjack as well as the council for their support in this process."

Deputy Chief Ronnie Ottereyes, Cree First Nation of Waswanipi states: "The protection and mitigation of sites of special wildlife interests is essential to the sustainability of our Cree way of life lived by active land users. The MEA will facilitate the consultation with active land users and sharing of traditional knowledge before, during and after the exploration activities are completed on the Lac Surprise property. Thanks to Mr. Morris' knowledge of Eeyou-Istchee, a working relationship was already growing with our Mining department making the tailoring and signing of the Lac Surprise MEA a formality. Meegwetch."

About Lac Surprise

Northern Superior has made a significant gold discovery on its 100% owned Lac Surprise property. Building off the success of the 2019 core drill program that led to the discovery of the Épervier Gold Zone, the Company launched a core drill program in 2020 that led to the discovery of the Falcon Gold Zone highlighted by two discovery holes: LCS20-13 (1.02 g/t gold and 3.92 g/t silver or 1.07 g/t AuEq over 35.5m with a high-grade interval of 7.70 g/t gold and 38.96 g/t silver or 8.22 g/t AuEq over 2.6m); and LCS19-005 (ext.) (1.44 g/t gold and 1.08 g/t silver or 1.55g/t AuEq over 44.9m, including 3.60 g/t gold and 1.92 g/t silver or 3.82g/t AuEq over 15m). The assays and associated geology strongly suggests that the Falcon Gold Zone is the extension of Nelligan gold deposit.*

Northern Superior recently announced that it has expanded the previously announced 10,000 meter ("m") core drill program on the Lac Surprise property (see Northern Superior press release, March 15, 2021) to a minimum of 13,000m, and will consist of two stages. Stage 1, expanded to 8,000m, is designed to better define and expand the newly discovered Falcon Gold Zone, believed to be the western extension of the neighboring IAMGold/Vanstar's Nelligan gold deposit located approximately 2.4 kilometers ("km") to the east with an inferred resource* of 3.2 million ounces at 1.02 g/t gold ("Au"). Stage 2, consisting of approximately 5,000m, is designed to test three early-stage gold targets west of Target 1: Target 3; the Fox Gold showing and the Confluence Area (see Northern Superior press release, April 19, 2021).

PVG earnings call for the period ending May 4, 2021.

Just because a business does not make any money, does not mean that the stock will go down. For example, although software-as-a-service business Salesforce.com lost money for years while it grew recurring revenue, if you held shares since 2005, you'd have done very well indeed. Having said that, unprofitable companies are risky because they could potentially burn through all their cash and become distressed.

So should Minco Silver (TSE:MSV) shareholders be worried about its cash burn? For the purpose of this article, we'll define cash burn as the amount of cash the company is spending each year to fund its growth (also called its negative free cash flow). The first step is to compare its cash burn with its cash reserves, to give us its 'cash runway'.

See our latest analysis for Minco Silver

When Might Minco Silver Run Out Of Money?

You can calculate a company's cash runway by dividing the amount of cash it has by the rate at which it is spending that cash. In December 2020, Minco Silver had CA$33m in cash, and was debt-free. In the last year, its cash burn was CA$2.5m. That means it had a cash runway of very many years as of December 2020. While this is only one measure of its cash burn situation, it certainly gives us the impression that holders have nothing to worry about. You can see how its cash balance has changed over time in the image below.

How Is Minco Silver's Cash Burn Changing Over Time?

Because Minco Silver isn't currently generating revenue, we consider it an early-stage business. Nonetheless, we can still examine its cash burn trajectory as part of our assessment of its cash burn situation. During the last twelve months, its cash burn actually ramped up 52%. While this spending increase is no doubt intended to drive growth, if the trend continues the company's cash runway will shrink very quickly. Admittedly, we're a bit cautious of Minco Silver due to its lack of significant operating revenues. We prefer most of the stocks on this list of stocks that analysts expect to grow.

How Hard Would It Be For Minco Silver To Raise More Cash For Growth?

Given its cash burn trajectory, Minco Silver shareholders may wish to consider how easily it could raise more cash, despite its solid cash runway. Companies can raise capital through either debt or equity. Commonly, a business will sell new shares in itself to raise cash and drive growth. By looking at a company's cash burn relative to its market capitalisation, we gain insight on how much shareholders would be diluted if the company needed to raise enough cash to cover another year's cash burn.

Since it has a market capitalisation of CA$27m, Minco Silver's CA$2.5m in cash burn equates to about 9.5% of its market value. That's a low proportion, so we figure the company would be able to raise more cash to fund growth, with a little dilution, or even to simply borrow some money.

Is Minco Silver's Cash Burn A Worry?

It may already be apparent to you that we're relatively comfortable with the way Minco Silver is burning through its cash. In particular, we think its cash runway stands out as evidence that the company is well on top of its spending. Although its increasing cash burn does give us reason for pause, the other metrics we discussed in this article form a positive picture overall. After taking into account the various metrics mentioned in this report, we're pretty comfortable with how the company is spending its cash, as it seems on track to meet its needs over the medium term. On another note, we conducted an in-depth investigation of the company, and identified 3 warning signs for Minco Silver (1 shouldn't be ignored!) that you should be aware of before investing here.

Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere. So take a peek at this free list of companies insiders are buying, and this list of stocks growth stocks (according to analyst forecasts)

KELOWNA, BC, May 4, 2021 /CNW/ – Cantex Mine Development Corp. (TSXV: CD) (the "Company") is pleased to report the first five of fourteen reverse circulation drill holes on its 100% owned Bruner property in Nevada.

Dr. Chuck Fipke reports

Bruner Property

The Bruner property is located in Nye County, Nevada, which hosts numerous gold mines. Its location is presented in Figure 1. Cantex completed 14 reverse circulation ("RC") holes on the project and has received results from five holes.

Table 1 presents the most significant intercepts from the first five holes, the locations of which are presented in Figure 2.

Table 1. Significant Bruner drill results.

Sample Preparation and Analysis

The drill holes reported in this press release were drilled using reverse circulation drilling with hole diameters between 140 and 146mm. A representative split of the sample was collected off the drill and sent for geochemical analysis. Another split of the sample has been stored on site. Samples were securely transported to the ALS Chemex Laboratory in Reno, Nevada. Here the samples were dried and crushed to 70% passing 2 mm before a 250 gram split was pulverized to 85% passing 75 micrometres. The samples were then analyzed using the AuME-TL43 technique which involves the Aqua Regia digestion of a 25 gram charge and analysis by ICP-MS and ICP-AES. Quality control included the insertion of blanks, standards and field duplicates

Weepah South Property

Drill testing at the Weepah South property determined that the source of the conductive geophysical anomaly was graphite interbedded in Paleozoic carbonate rocks rather than the hoped for conductive gold mineralized target. Analytical results confirmed that gold mineralization was not present and no additional work is planned for these claims.

Baxter Springs Property

Five drill holes were completed on the 100% owned Baxter Springs property and analytical results are pending.

Carico Lake Property

Roads and three drill pads have been constructed at the Carico Lake property. Three holes totalling 1,100 metres are to be drilled as soon as a suitable drill is available.

Conclusion

The Cantex directors are most encouraged by the Bruner property results; the five holes completed to date indicate a Nevada-style gold-arsenic-antimony system has been intersected.

Structural geological mapping will be undertaken after the remaining drill results are received. The focus of the mapping will be to assist in determining where the centre of the mineralized system is. In addition, work will include rock chip sampling of the road cuts created by the access roads leading to the 14 drill sites. It is hoped that these results as well as the forthcoming analytical results from the nine remaining holes will further define gold mineralization on the Bruner property.

The technical information and results reported here have been reviewed by Mr. Chad Ulansky P.Geol., a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, who is responsible for the technical content of this release.

Signed,

Charles Fipke

Highlights:

A 5 year drill permit is now in place for the upcoming 2021 inaugural diamond drill program on the newly discovered Surebet Zone located on its 100% controlled Golddigger property, Golden Triangle BC.

The upcoming ~ 5000 meter inaugural drill program will target the extensive high-grade gold-silver shear structure discovery at the Surebet Zone both along strike and to depth.

The Surebet Zone is exposed on surface for 1000 meters of strike with 500 meters of vertical relief and remains open. It has an average width of 9.84 meters and grade of 10.68 g/t AuEq (7.59 g/t Au) with 1000 meters of inferred down dip extension that also remains open.

Surebet Zone 3D Model & Proposed Drill Locations Video (Click Here).

TORONTO, May 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Goliath Resources Limited (TSX-V: GOT) (OTCQB: GOTRF) (Frankfurt: B4IF) (the “Company” or “Goliath”) is pleased to announce the receipt of all necessary permits for its inaugural diamond drill program to trace the high-grade gold-silver zone seen at surface at the Surebet Discovery at its 100% controlled Golddigger Project. The discovery is located in a world class geological setting near Stewart, BC in the prolific Golden Triangle of British Columbia. Both the Homestake Ridge deposit and Dolly Varden Silver mine are close in proximity.

Goliath has planned for ~ 5000 meter drill program on the Surebet Discovery Zone designed to test the 1000 meter strike length, 500 meters of vertical relief and 1000 meters of inferred down dip extent. The drilling will focus on the high-grade gold-silver mineralization zone exposed at surface over 1000 meters that currently averages 9.84 meters wide and grading of 10.68 g/t AuEq (7.59 g/t Au). The zone remains open (see Company news release dated November 25, 2020). Mobilization for the drill program is scheduled to take place in May.

Mr. Roger Rosmus, CEO of Goliath states: “We are very pleased to have received all permits for the drill program on our newly discovered Surebet Zone. The management, geologic team, institutional investors, and shareholders alike are all looking forward to the inaugural drill program on the Surebet Discovery. Things are certainly shaping up for what is going be a very exciting drill program that is only just weeks away from mobilizing.”

Golddigger Property

The Golddigger property is 23,858.51 hectares (59,646 acres) and in a world class geological setting. It is located on tide water 30 kilometers south east of Stewart BC in the prolific Golden Triangle and only 7km West of the Dolly Varden Mine access road providing for cost effective exploration (Link to Claim Map).

The newly discovered Surebet Zone is located ~8 kilometers S.W. of Fury Gold Mines’ Homestake Ridge deposit, a high-grade gold-silver resource estimate (M&I) that contains 982,700 oz of gold @ 4.99 g/t gold and 19,600,000 oz of silver @ 97.7 g/t silver, with drill intercepts of up to 73 meters of 21 g/t gold and 12 g/t silver (source – Auryn Resources’ PEA & Website) (Link to Regional Map).

Multiple high-grade polymetallic gold-silver targets have been identified along 1 kilometer (1000 meters) of strike at surface and a half a kilometer (500 meters) of vertical relief with an average true width of 9.84 meters assaying 10.68 gpt gold equivalent (AuEq) and 7.59 grams per tonne gold (gpt Au) with 1 kilometer (1000 meters) of inferred down dip extent (3D Model & Proposed Drill Locations Video Link).

The Surebet targets are contained within a shear zone and will be tested in the inaugural 2021 drill program. The high-grade polymetallic gold-silver mineralization is contained within a broad alteration halo of strongly silicified Hazelton Group sediments up to 43.5 meters wide containing mineralization assaying less than 0.5 gpt AuEq (Link to news November 25, 2020).

The Surebet Zone is characterized by a series of NW-SE trending structures that occur within a package of Hazelton group sediments underlain by Hazelton volcanics and are within 2km of the Red Line. Lidar imagery, drone imagery, and field observations have identified several additional paralleling structures within a 4 square km area. Geochemical analyses have confirmed high-grade gold-silver polymetallic mineralization within these structures (Lidar Video Link).

The Company has granted stock options for a total of 285,000 common shares to directors and consultants of the Company. These stock options are exercisable at CDN $0.68 each, which is the closing price on May 3, 2021, and will all expire on May 4, 2026. All stock options are governed by the terms and conditions of the Company's stock option plan.

All samples were analyzed using MSALABS's assay procedure ICP-130, a 1:1:1 aqua regia digestion with inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) or inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) finish for 35 elements as well as the FAS-121 lead collection fire assay fusion procedure with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish. Any results greater than 100 ppm for silver or 10,000 ppm copper, lead and zinc were additionally assayed using MSALABS's ICA-6xx method particular to each element. This method used an HNO3-HCl digestion followed by ICP-AES (or titrimetric and gravimetric analysis). Gold values of greater than 10 ppm Au were assayed by the FAS-425 method which includes a fire-assay fusion procedure with a gravimetric finish. Samples with Au grater than 5 ppm were additionally analyzed using metallic screen fire assay with MSALABS’s MSC-150 or MSC-350 method. QA/QC samples including blanks, standards, and duplicate samples were inserted regularly into the sample sequence.

The reader is cautioned that grab samples are spot samples which are typically, but not exclusively, constrained to mineralization. Grab samples are selective in nature and collected to determine the presence or absence of mineralization and are not intended to be representative of the material sampled.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 4, 2021 / Klondike Gold Corp. (TSXV:KG)(FSE:LBDP)(OTC PINK:KDKGF) ("Klondike Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report commencement of 2021 exploration beginning at the Virgin Target area on the Company's wholly owned 586 square kilometer Klondike District Property near Dawson City, Yukon Territory.

Program Highlights:

• 2021 exploration/resource drilling program of approximately 6,500 meters will be distributed over three phases and test multiple target areas

• Phase 1 exploration drilling to focus on discovering bedrock sources of gold at the historic the Virgin/Lindow Target areas

• Phase 2 drilling to focus on expanding the discovery at the Stander Zone

• Phase 3 drilling to focus on outlining a maiden resource on targets within the Lone Star Zone

Peter Tallman, Klondike Gold's CEO stated, "The steady and thorough exploration programs of the past several years is now paying off. We're confident in our geologic understanding of the processes that formed widespread gold mineralization in the Klondike District, both placer and hard-rock and we're now set to capitalize on those efforts and insights. We have an abundance of targets to test with our 2021 drilling, some that will build toward our goal of completing a maiden resource estimate at Lone Star, and some that may surprise with new discoveries proximal to historic placer mines. It's going to be an exciting season."

The 2021 Phase 1 diamond drill program is expected to begin shortly. The Phase 1 program comprising approximately 1,000 meters will launch at the Virgin Target area located 10 km north of the Lone Star and Stander Zones, and 6 km from the Company's Dawson City office (see News Release dated February 3, 2021). The Virgin Target area is comprised of the Virgin Mine and the Lindow Showing located 2 km apart along Bear Creek, one of the significant placer gold producing creeks during the Klondike gold rush.

Visible gold in quartz veins at the Virgin Mine was originally discovered in 1902. Underground development consisting of two shafts and two adits was completed by 1913. A ‘stamp mill' was installed in that year which reportedly processed 265 ounces gold from the workings. In 1934 the stamp mill was upgraded from steam to electrical power but little further work ensued and the claims ultimately lapsed. (Source: Yukon Geological Survey Mineral Occurrence data). The area was restaked by Mr. Frank Burkhard in 1976 and Klondike Gold purchased the property directly from the Burkhard family in 2017.

Prospecting grab samples or mapping samples of host rocks collected by the Company (2014 to 2020) have yielded five samples between 5.0 to 14.2 g/t Au, one sample of 0.9 g/t Au, and fourteen samples with no significant assay. (Prospecting samples are selective in nature, non-representative rock grab samples of bedrock or boulders collected to test for the presence or absence of gold and other ‘economic' minerals.) The high assays come from quartz vein material in the main shaft and adjacent workings or from the stamp mill dump pile.

Gold in quartz veins was discovered at the Lindow Showing in 1911 located 2 km south of the Virgin Mine. Underground development consisted of two (or three) shafts and one adit however no contemporary records are known and the workings were obscured by subsequent placer mining.

In 2018 prospecting and mapping by the Company located a bedrock occurrence of visible gold in quartz veins. Twelve prospecting grab samples were collected from outcrop of veining and host rock with eight assaying between 0.2 g/t Au and 4.1 g/t Au and four samples with no significant assay. Recent recompilation and upgraded description of the Lindow Showing published by Yukon Geological Survey led the Company's realization that part of the ‘lost' Lindow Showing had been relocated by 2018 outcrop sampling.

About Wealth Minerals Ltd.

Wealth is a mineral resource company with interests in Canada, Mexico, Peru and Chile. The Company's main focus is the acquisition and development of lithium projects in South America.

The Company opportunistically advances battery metal projects, namely copper and nickel, where it has a peer advantage in project selection and initial evaluation.

Lithium market dynamics and a rapidly increasing metal price are the result of profound structural issues with the industry meeting anticipated future demand. Wealth is positioning itself to be a major beneficiary of this future mismatch of supply and demand. In parallel with lithium market dynamics, Wealth believes other battery metals will benefit from similar industry trends.

There's no doubt that money can be made by owning shares of unprofitable businesses. Indeed, VRX Silica (ASX:VRX) stock is up 186% in the last year, providing strong gains for shareholders. Having said that, unprofitable companies are risky because they could potentially burn through all their cash and become distressed.

So notwithstanding the buoyant share price, we think it's well worth asking whether VRX Silica's cash burn is too risky. For the purpose of this article, we'll define cash burn as the amount of cash the company is spending each year to fund its growth (also called its negative free cash flow). We'll start by comparing its cash burn with its cash reserves in order to calculate its cash runway.

View our latest analysis for VRX Silica

When Might VRX Silica Run Out Of Money?

A company's cash runway is calculated by dividing its cash hoard by its cash burn. When VRX Silica last reported its balance sheet in December 2020, it had zero debt and cash worth AU$9.4m. Looking at the last year, the company burnt through AU$2.3m. Therefore, from December 2020 it had 4.0 years of cash runway. There's no doubt that this is a reassuringly long runway. You can see how its cash balance has changed over time in the image below.

How Is VRX Silica's Cash Burn Changing Over Time?

Whilst it's great to see that VRX Silica has already begun generating revenue from operations, last year it only produced AU$129k, so we don't think it is generating significant revenue, at this point. As a result, we think it's a bit early to focus on the revenue growth, so we'll limit ourselves to looking at how the cash burn is changing over time. Even though it doesn't get us excited, the 31% reduction in cash burn year on year does suggest the company can continue operating for quite some time. Admittedly, we're a bit cautious of VRX Silica due to its lack of significant operating revenues. We prefer most of the stocks on this list of stocks that analysts expect to grow.

How Hard Would It Be For VRX Silica To Raise More Cash For Growth?

Even though it has reduced its cash burn recently, shareholders should still consider how easy it would be for VRX Silica to raise more cash in the future. Issuing new shares, or taking on debt, are the most common ways for a listed company to raise more money for its business. One of the main advantages held by publicly listed companies is that they can sell shares to investors to raise cash and fund growth. We can compare a company's cash burn to its market capitalisation to get a sense for how many new shares a company would have to issue to fund one year's operations.

VRX Silica's cash burn of AU$2.3m is about 1.6% of its AU$145m market capitalisation. So it could almost certainly just borrow a little to fund another year's growth, or else easily raise the cash by issuing a few shares.

So, Should We Worry About VRX Silica's Cash Burn?

It may already be apparent to you that we're relatively comfortable with the way VRX Silica is burning through its cash. In particular, we think its cash runway stands out as evidence that the company is well on top of its spending. And even though its cash burn reduction wasn't quite as impressive, it was still a positive. Taking all the factors in this report into account, we're not at all worried about its cash burn, as the business appears well capitalized to spend as needs be. Taking a deeper dive, we've spotted 4 warning signs for VRX Silica you should be aware of, and 1 of them shouldn't be ignored.

Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere. So take a peek at this free list of companies insiders are buying, and this list of stocks growth stocks (according to analyst forecasts)

Revenue-Virginius Mine Development Progress

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AURCANA SILVER CORPORATION ("Aurcana" or the "Company") (TSXV: AUN, OTCQX: AUNFF) is pleased to provide a construction update and a production outlook for the remainder of 2021 for its Revenue Virginius Mine, (RV) located near Ouray, Colorado.

Mine Development

• Underground mine development is proceeding on schedule with three raises being driven vertically from the 2000 main haulage level 800 feet to the 1200 level (See Figure 1 below).

• The #1 Alimak raise is advancing vertically at an average rate exceeding 16 feet per day and is scheduled to be complete by late May, after which the hoist and shaft timber will be installed for permanent men and material access.

• The #2 Alimak raise has progressed up to the 1500 level and is temporarily being used for men and materials transport from the 2000 level to the 1800 and 1500 level pending completion of #1 Alimak raise.

• The #3 Alimak raise vertical development began in May and is scheduled to reach the 1800 level by the third week of May.

• On completion of #1 Alimak raise, the #2 and #3 Alimak raises will be dedicated ore and waste raises.

• Level (horizontal) development has commenced on the 1800 level to intersect the Virginius vein, which is scheduled to occur during the third week of May. Following this, development will continue by driving drifts both north and south on vein for over 1000 feet to prepare for stope development.

• Stope development on the 1800 level is estimated to begin in late June with first ore to the mill in early July.

• Ore development on 1800 level is on schedule to deliver initial ore to the processing plant in July. Two stopes (mining blocks) on the 1800 level will provide the initial ore supply while stopes on the 1500 level are developed.

• It is anticipated that four stopes will be available by year end 2021 (two stopes per level) to supply the processing plant. However only two stopes are required to provide the 270 tons per day as specified in the 2018 feasibility study (the “2018 FS”) prepared in accordance with National Instrument NI 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). A copy of the 2018 FS is posted on the Company’s website www.aurcana.com and is also available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Processing Plant Preparation

• All processing plant upgrades including installing additional flotation capacity, replacing cyclones with sizing screens, installing a rod mill, installing crushers and conveyors along with a new instrument control system will be completed by mid-June. Processing plant commissioning with water is scheduled for the last week of June with first ore through the processing plant in the second week of July.

• Final work on the transition chute from the coarse ore bin to the new primary pan feeder is scheduled to be completed by July 10^th, 2021 and will enable full processing plant operation.

• Throughput will be ramped up over the course of July to reach 111 tons per day (tpd) during August, and then to the full production level of 270 tpd during September.

• Concentrate shipments will be in 100 ton lots and are anticipated to begin in early August. Trafigura Trading LLC is the off-taker for 100% of the concentrates and will pay the value of 95% of the contained metals based on the mine site concentrate assays at the time of shipment, with final settlement based on smelter returns.

• Payable silver equivalent¹ production for the period between August to December 2021 is anticipated to be 1,300,000-1,600,000 ounces at an estimated cash operating costs of between USD10.00 to USD12.00/oz silver after by-product credits².

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 3, 2021 / PJX Resources Inc. ("PJX") (TSX.V:PJX.V) is pleased to announce that recent drilling and surface mapping suggest high grade gold mineralization may occur where the gold bearing, west dipping David shear and vein system intersects North-South oriented pre-existing fold structures on the Gold Shear Property. This new understanding will be used to drill test the projected extension of the David Gold Zone down plunge and possible parallel gold zones to the west down dip on the David Shear.

"The David Gold Zone appears to be a typical shear and fold related orogenic gold system similar to others around the world, such as Wallbridge's Fenelon discovery or Fosterville" states Mr. John Keating, President and CEO of PJX Resources. "The key to building ounces is to first understand what geologists call structural kinematics, which is how fold and shear structures may influence and concentrate gold mineralization. What we've intersected in this latest drilling is a larger vertical fold structure than similar related structures at the David Gold Zone. Where the gold bearing David shear and vein system would intersect this vertical fold, and possibly concentrate gold, would be at depth below current drilling, possibly 50 metres or more. We believe there may be a second phase of folding that could also influence the location of high grade gold mineralization. Our next step is to design a trenching and drilling program to further define the kinematics that control gold mineralization, and extend the David Gold Zone to depth and discover potential additional parallel gold zones on strike this summer."

Highlights

• The David Gold Zone on PJX's Gold Shear Property has a narrow central core of high grade gold mineralization with values such as 54.76 g/t over 1.0 m true width.

• This high-grade core occurs within a 4 to 5 metre ("m") wide zone with anomalous gold mineralization called the David shear-vein system.

• Modelling of historical pre-PJX drill holes, and PJX's 16 holes (totalling approximately 2,500m to date), suggests that high-grade gold mineralization may occur where the west dipping, gold bearing David shear-vein system intersects north-south fold (F1) related structures.

• Anomalous zones of gold mineralization, greater than 100 ppb gold, appear to dip north along the David shear-vein system, similar to the north 20-30 degree plunge of the F1 fold axis measured in surface outcrop. (see Figure 1)

• VLF geophysics along the north-south F1 fold axis has identified a weakly conductive north dipping anomaly that may reflect the David shear-vein system (see Figure 2).

• The north dipping VLF anomaly corresponds with the intersection of the David shear-vein system and the vertical F1 fold axial plane orientation. (see Figure 3) This new structural and geophysical observation is similar to the David Gold Zone dip/rake and will be used to help define drill targets at depth and on strike.

Figure 1 – Modelling of anomalous gold mineralization, using structural orientations from surface mapping and drill hole data, suggests the David Gold Zone may dip or rake to the north along the David shear-vein system, with untested potential down dip and possible parallel zones along strike.

Figure 2 – VLF geophysical survey along the north-south fold orientation has identified a weakly conductive anomaly (shown in red) that dips to the north similar to the David Gold Zone. The anomaly appears to correspond with the David shear-vein system. Breaks in the VLF anomaly at depth may reflect distortions in the David shear-vein system or stratigraphy. Areas of distortion are locations where gold mineralization can concentrate in Orogenic gold deposits and systems, similar to the Fenelon discovery, Fosterville, and others.

Figure 3 – North dipping VLF anomaly appears to correspond with the intersection of the David shear-vein system and the vertical F1 fold axial plane orientation. This new structural and geophysical observation is similar to the David Gold Zone dip/rake and will be used to help define drill targets at depth and on strike.

There are a few key trends to look for if we want to identify the next multi-bagger. One common approach is to try and find a company with returns on capital employed (ROCE) that are increasing, in conjunction with a growing amount of capital employed. Put simply, these types of businesses are compounding machines, meaning they are continually reinvesting their earnings at ever-higher rates of return. So on that note, Abcourt Mines (CVE:ABI) looks quite promising in regards to its trends of return on capital.

What is Return On Capital Employed (ROCE)?

For those who don't know, ROCE is a measure of a company's yearly pre-tax profit (its return), relative to the capital employed in the business. The formula for this calculation on Abcourt Mines is:

Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets – Current Liabilities)

0.071 = CA$2.9m ÷ (CA$47m – CA$6.0m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2020).

So, Abcourt Mines has an ROCE of 7.1%. On its own that's a low return, but compared to the average of 0.8% generated by the Metals and Mining industry, it's much better.

While the past is not representative of the future, it can be helpful to know how a company has performed historically, which is why we have this chart above. If you're interested in investigating Abcourt Mines' past further, check out this free graph of past earnings, revenue and cash flow.

What Does the ROCE Trend For Abcourt Mines Tell Us?

The fact that Abcourt Mines is now generating some pre-tax profits from its prior investments is very encouraging. The company was generating losses five years ago, but now it's earning 7.1% which is a sight for sore eyes. Not only that, but the company is utilizing 81% more capital than before, but that's to be expected from a company trying to break into profitability. This can tell us that the company has plenty of reinvestment opportunities that are able to generate higher returns.

The Key Takeaway

Long story short, we're delighted to see that Abcourt Mines' reinvestment activities have paid off and the company is now profitable. And investors seem to expect more of this going forward, since the stock has rewarded shareholders with a 47% return over the last five years. Therefore, we think it would be worth your time to check if these trends are going to continue.

Like most companies, Abcourt Mines does come with some risks, and we've found 1 warning sign that you should be aware of.

This year, in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the special meeting of Securityholders (the “Meeting”) was held by way of virtual only format whereby Securityholders participated in the Meeting remotely.

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice hearing for the final order to approve the Arrangement is expected to occur on May 4, 2021 and closing of the Arrangement is expected to be completed on or about May 11, 2021, subject to the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of certain other closing conditions customary in transactions of this nature, including, without limitation, the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

“We want to thank the Securityholders for their overwhelming support in favour of the transaction,” stated Dr. Laurence Stefan, Plateau's interim CEO. “The completion of the Arrangement will be a positive step forward in the next phase for Plateau and all of its stakeholders.”

Simon Clarke, CEO and Director of American Lithium stated, “We are very pleased that Securityholders of Plateau have voted overwhelmingly in favour of this Arrangement. We continue to believe that the synergies between the two Companies, their respective teams and respective projects are substantial and that this acquisition will position the combined company as a diversified leader in the development of large-scale lithium and clean energy projects.”

In connection with the Arrangement, American Lithium will acquire all outstanding shares of Plateau at the previously announced exchange ratio of 0.29 units (each whole unit, an “Exchange Unit”) of American Lithium for each share of Plateau held, and Plateau will become a wholly owned subsidiary of American Lithium.

Each Exchange Unit will consist of one (1) common share of American Lithium plus one-half (0.5) of a common share purchase warrant of American Lithium (each whole such warrant, an “Exchange Warrant”). Each Exchange Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one (1) additional common share of American Lithium at an exercise price of C$3.00 for a period of thirty-six (36) months from completion of the Arrangement. American Lithium will use commercially reasonable efforts to list the Exchange Warrants on the TSX Venture Exchange as soon as practicable following closing of the Arrangement.

Each existing Plateau share purchase warrant will, upon the exercise thereof on or after the effective time of the Arrangement, in accordance with its terms, entitle the holder to acquire 0.29 of a common share in the capital of American Lithium and 0.145 of a common share purchase warrant of American Lithium for each Plateau share the warrant holder would have been entitled to acquire prior to the closing of the Arrangement.

Existing Plateau stock options will be exchanged for an option to acquire from American Lithium the number of American Lithium common shares equal to the product of: (A) the number of Plateau common shares subject to such Plateau stock option immediately prior to the effective date of the Arrangement, multiplied by (B) 0.29 of an American Lithium Shares for each Plateau common share. All RSUs and DSUs of Plateau will vest immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement and each RSU and DSU pf Plateau will be exchanged for one (1) Plateau common share. The former holders of RSUs and DSUs of Plateau, will, following the exchange, participate in the Arrangement as Plateau shareholders.

None of the securities to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement have been or will be registered under the United State Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and any securities issued pursuant to the Arrangement are anticipated to be issued in reliance upon available exemptions from such registration requirements pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable exemptions under state securities laws. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
