I fear for you as its a minefield in early mining stocks and most do not make a profitable mine but do afford their management a very comfortable lifestyle,BUT there are diamonds in the rough i am supposedly about to score big on Oz minerals first gambled( sorry invested on) in Laos as a 38C stock from 2002!! this will knock out a lot of losses and will be re-invested in much more boring stocks or managed funds,its an age thing, don't need the drama as retired 5,6,7% a year franked will do me.Good luck in your punts i wish you well.
