ERA

The reports and comments on this site are currently written by Keith Goode.

ERA’s reports mainly cover precious and base metals companies where anyone can see what the price of the product is, with the majority being gold companies, followed by nickel companies.

The reports are paid for by the company concerned and email distributed free. However, we only do them if we like the management (70%), project (20%) and country (10%) for which you need about 90% in each category.

Sites are visited in order to write a report, and typically a week is spent with a company and then it is written up in the following 2 to 3 weeks, with excel modeling where required slowing the report's timing. Report sizes are typically 6 to 12 pages.

Jul 2022 - Understanding PGEs

Understanding & Analysing PGEs. (like Gonneville in the Julimar Province etc)

This report has been based on my knowledge, without consulting Chalice or any of the other PGE coys – while my knowledge is dated, having mined these types of orebody underground with Implats in 1976/7, visiting/analysed them in Union Corp/Implats & Gencor Head Office & for brokers in South Africa, producing a ~100p guide to Sth Africa’s Platinum Sector in 1985, & a rating in PGE analysis to 1988, and again visiting and analysing in the early 2000s under Eagle Research/ERA in South Africa and Zimbabwe.
