Coffee with Samso: Exploring in the Land of the Long White Cloud - White Cliff Minerals

The junior explorers are feeling a bit lukewarm at the moment but don't let that fool you. As I have mentioned in most of the Coffee with Samso in the last 12 months, I have said that for many decades, the enthusiasm is unseen so tread the market with caution. Corporate finance associates in the mining sector are telling me that business is hectic and they are sup-busy. Transactions are happening and they had only a one-week break when the gold price turned. Now, they are back in business. Investing in what you understand As Rick Rule points out in Coffee with Samso Episode 70, most astute investors are saying they are smart but rather they have seen a lot. They will tell you that quality and a complete understanding of the business are critical. I am in this camp and this 'lull' in the market can be seen as profit-taking or the market finding equilibrium. Whatever the reason for the pullback, my 'two cents worth' is that the next six months will be turbulent but if you have a two to three-year view, you will be happy. Most importantly, one has to understand the business of your investment. Check out Commodities and Equities: Advice from Rick Rule - 27:28 Investing in What You Understand - Understand Real Value. White Cliff Minerals positioning to explore in NZ White Cliff Minerals Ltd (ASX:WCN) announcing the acquisition of New Zealand projects is an interesting strategy. We all know that the world is now looking at the bright lights at the end of the tunnel and investors know that it is only a matter of time when things will start to boil again. What I like about the projects is that they are in New Zealand and things will get better. New Zealand is not the super 'Green' state that frowns upon all mining. In fact, it is the opposite. They have regulations like every other mining jurisdiction and they have different ways to deal with keeping the environment. The geology is good and having worked in New Zealand before, I know that the mineral prospectivity is very high. There has not been the intense exploration like in Australia and there has never been as good a time as now to source funding. There are no sovereign risk issues and there is abundant expertise in-country. Hence, what is there not to like? In this episode of Coffee with Samso, Ed Mead tells us about the projects and how they fit within the present company portfolio. Ed shares with us the reasoning behind those projects and his thoughts on the prospects in the market.
