I am not an expert of any description, but am happy to outline my reasons for liking MRP.

Firstly, my understanding is that the mine closed previously because it was uneconomical to mine. You have to remember that the price of silver for much of the 2000s was about $5 ounce. It is now four times this.

MRP have announced a capex of about $60M and operating costs of about $15 ounce. In a recent announcement they actually reported that both these costs will come in lower and mine life extended, without giving specifics.

The recent share placement was well subscribed with the chairman putting in 1M and Orion mine finance topping up to just under 20 percent of the company. Apparently MRP is the only Australian company they have taken an equity position on. From this, I assume funding is obvious. Funding is often the biggest killer for these mines.

These ventures generally make money when they release resource updates, deliver BFSs, announce funding and go into production. All of these things are happening soon for MRP with production next year.

Most of all, I see very little risk. To me, it seems like it is pretty much a done deal.

can I suggest you go through the announcements over the past 18 months which will explain and clarify all of the above.

There are no certainties in life or the sharemarkets but i really like the odds on this one.

i am not an expert and have been wrong before. Read up and see what you think.

i think the SP will go north and I think this will happen soon. Best of luck.

Many thanks for your measured explanations and will take a closer look now I understand more of your rationale. There are many opportunities out there in the metal space atm - spoilt for choice it seems.

You might keep a close eye on the main zinc players and the zinc thread, which I like to update... usually daily
