Reading this thread due to Idle Wanders contributions to the GRR thread.

Thought i would have a good look at MGX and i like what i see..

The conversation of MGX vs GRR is somewhat irrelevant in my mind as GRR are selling a treated Pellet product vs MGX Iron Ore operations. MGX are in the ASX 300 where as GRR are not at this stage and this probably wont happen until the GRR share price appreciates alot given the capital structure of the company.

In saying that i am a shareholder of GRR that thinks the price will run hard from here. I am about to become a share holder in MGX also given the upside from this level based on the margins... This is obviously subjective to the price of Iron Ore (for both companies).

Thought i would throw some figures around this morning to review the margins of MGX vs GRR as per the comparison in this thread. My opinion is GRR market cap is likely to move up significantly from here but i also think the same case will exist for MGX..
