Depends on if you're a speculator or investor. Electric has changed mining by using their Typhoon geophysical technology to apply to deposits around the world, so this is a spec buy. That technology could be game-changing. The Mines is far more senior with existing operations in Congo and South Africa, so it's an investment.
There are 2 drivers for this. 1.) An absolute tier 1 platinum project in South Africa, and 2) the largest, highest grade copper discovery, unfortunately in the Congo. This is fronted by the most successful mining financier of this epoch. In his experience, tier 1 deposits succeed, despite politics, and they financed themselves irrespective of where they are. In the preliminary economic assessment, the upgrade for this deposit was 3%, 6 times the average grade worldwide. (Analysts price target is $2.38.)
