Congratulations for coming to the party late.

Yes 2.4c is very cheap, BUT are you aware that someone paid $1.927 in Sept 2007.

This was during the time when magnetite was $US220 per tonne and the cost of the plant at Karara was going to be $1.5b.

But sadly the cost of the plant at Karara blew out to $2.6b and they spent another $400m making changes to the systems so it could work - so cost twice as much as anticipated.

It has taken a number of years to get the grade to 65.3%.

GBG's share in the Karara mine and plant now has a NIL value in the accounts due to the high level of debt within KML - my calculations are that KML has some $US2.5b debt- they are lucky to make the interest payments.

During the GFC, GBG price did not drop below 60c and a lot of people bought in those prices.

By my calculations they have lost over $700m in running the plant over 6 years.

IF magnetite stays at $US100 for a prolonged period then it will come good.

But remember that GBG has a contingent liability of over $20m + (details not fully disclosed in accounts because hidden in KML accounts behind the secret veil) for the railway contract and environmental deposits. If KML goes belly up then that $20m + in GBG would go.

So I would respectfully suggest you do some research on the history of GBG before making derogatory comments to long term holders who have endured years of torment.

Good to read about this stock from someone who seems to know the full story ( as much as u can ) . The company doesn't disclose much .

However having said that ... a change in sentiment might make this a flyer I reckon .

Forget the past 2 cents - to 4-5 cents a possibility

Maybe more subject to what the real upside is in their exploration stuff

I remember Brian Gilbertson - the old Ex boss of BHP was involved in this stock ...yes it was a bit of a darling back in the day . A big share registry ( relative ) ....

For me a punt ...with reasonable odds and limited downside at these prices

cheers
