..."Which given the way the gold price is moving just now it looks like it could breakout of very very soon!"... ..."it could breakout"...Despite the fact that you remain conditional, your optimism is nice to see, even if here too, you repeat what many have said for a year, unfortunately without confirmation in the facts...!
As for these 2 billion shares, since no one has announced themselves as a substantial shareholder, we can assume that this is a possible manipulation or brokers who are running VAU in their clients' files.
In summary, once again, we should not expect anything from the next quarterly report and unless there is a dirty trick from a predator supported by LT, only the end of the hedges will allow us to finally see VAU with a price that lives up to its intrinsic value!
