Im trying to understand the topic of dilution with my current holding in ARU (which is great as there is supreme confidence we’re going mining).
how do I mitigate/reduce dilution? I have boned up a little but reading some posts on this thread I’m not sure I have it correct. Basically my understanding dilution does not always reduce your total share $ valuation but your share holding will obviously reduce along with any dividend payments in future years should they be paid due to holding less shares.

if anyone is able to provide a very basic layman’s understanding I would be very grateful.
