Don’t know how this could possibly be rated a buy. I took a small punt on this company without doing too much research… gold producer, imminent production, 2m market cap. Sounded like it was worth a small risk with cash about to come in the door.

Fact is we have no power what so ever. The entire company is based on an 18% investment in Goldsmith. This would be fine it was part of a larger investment/operational portfolio - except it's not, and we still have the operational expenses of a listed company, CEO, board, etc, and appear to have no say in how Goldsmith is run. Or even know what Goldsmith is doing at any point in time other than ‘imminent production’.

I’ve just had a quick look through previous announcements re production and it makes for some quite depressing reading. At one point in October last year management stated CGU “remains on track to production radiness in coming weeks.” Coming weeks!!

I don’t understand how we can get it so wrong, so many times. I have no faith what so ever that we will be operational by the end of June based on the track record of previous announcements dating back to October 2012:

23/10/2012 Based on current scheduling, this plant and tailings reprocessing project is expected to be producing gold-loaded carbon for sale by the end of 2012

14/11/2012 we anticipate post February 2013…. Commissioners' total investment in Peru this year should be recouped next calendar year.
