Hey everyone, just read this article about Lake Victoria Gold's Imwelo Project in Tanzania: Gold Developer Discovers Excellent Infrastructure Opportunity at Tanzania's Imwelo Project. It's interesting to see them targeting sterilization drilling right now. From my experience with junior miners, seeing them prioritize infrastructure early on can be a really good sign. It saves a ton of headaches and costs down the line, especially in regions that might not have established networks. I remember a few years back, I invested in a small silver play in South America that spent ages just getting power lines run, and it absolutely killed their timeline and budget. Imwelo having good road access and power already available is a huge positive in my book.
The fact that they’re seeing good signs for metallurgy and processing is also a key point. This means they're thinking past just finding gold; they're already considering how to efficiently extract it. As someone looking to build up a solid retirement fund, I'm always looking for companies that have a clear path to production and are mitigating risks early. Gold is a staple in my portfolio, and these smaller, high-potential developers are where I look for growth. My wife and I are always discussing how these investments will impact our long-term goals, and projects like this, with good infrastructure, just seem to de-risk things a bit more.
What are your thoughts on this? Does anyone else follow LVG? Or have any of you had similar experiences with junior mining companies where infrastructure played a make-or-break role? Always keen to hear what the community thinks!
