In short: Publicly talked about by Muddy Waters: "a no-brainer takeout for a whole number of players" that "could massively open up the district" — a world-class project that probably needs a major as buyer. Caveats he states: "somewhat consensus," "a longer lead project," "does need some infrastructure," and the stock "probably needs" to go higher before a non-upsetting premium works.
Snowline Gold owns a large, high-quality gold discovery in a remote part of the Yukon. Big gold producers have to keep buying new deposits because their existing mines run out, and very few deposits of this size are in safe countries. Brick thinks Snowline is an obvious takeover target — a "no-brainer" — for a major miner that wants a foothold in a whole new mining district.
He is candid about the drawbacks: many investors already think this (so less hidden value than his usual picks), the site needs roads and power, and it will take a long time to build. He also suggests a buyer may only move once the share price is higher, so the takeover premium doesn't look extravagant.
39:35perspective was able to raise capital and push forward projects. So, that's what I expect to see play out. We've seen little bits of M&A here and there. Robert was acquired earlier this year. It's a really good project. I think there's a couple of other things. We've publicly talked about Snowline Gold, which we think is an asset up in the Yukon.
In short: Explicitly flagged: "this next name is not a recommendation, it's just an illustration." What it illustrates is the must-own early-stage asset: "a 10 million ounce plus deposit in the Yukon in the middle of nowhere, way far back, but a very large, very high-grade deposit. There will come a time when the acquirers looking at that deposit won't be willing to play chicken with the market or with each other anymore. I suspect that that deposit will be gone long before it's drilled off and long before it's delineated, because at 10 million ounces plus in a jurisdiction that's at least believed to be low risk, that becomes a strategic asset for any number of acquirers."
Rick flags this one carefully: "not a recommendation, it's just an illustration." What it illustrates is the category of asset that gets bought before it is finished — a ten-million-ounce-plus, high-grade gold deposit in the Yukon, remote but in a jurisdiction buyers consider low risk.
The logic is about scarcity, not geology. Deposits that large are rare enough that several majors need them, and each knows the others are watching. "There will come a time when the acquirers looking at that deposit won't be willing to play chicken with the market or with each other anymore." He expects it to be acquired "long before it's drilled off and long before it's delineated" — because waiting for certainty risks losing the asset to a rival.
That is the flip side of his usual demand for data. For ordinary deposits you want a bankable feasibility study before you believe the numbers; for a genuinely world-class one, waiting for the study is how you miss it.
21:11study. But if you look — and by the way this next name is not a recommendation it's just an illustration — if you look, as an example, at Snowline Gold, 10 million ounce plus deposit in the Yukon in the middle of nowhere, way far back, but a very large, very high-grade deposit.
