27-Mar-2020: Business Update - Westgold Operations
Westgold (WGX) are the gold assets that were spun out of Metals X (MLX) in late 2016. MLX were trading at over $1 at the beginning of 2018 and closed at 6 cents today (6.1c to be exact). They've had a BAD couple of years.
WGX peaked early (after they were spun out of MLX), at $2.54 on Feb 20th 2017, then fell through the rest of 2017 and all of 2018 to bottom at 83 cps in mid-Dec '18. They then powered back up to as high as $2.47 in Sep '19, before being coronered back down to $1.44 in Feb/Mar this year. Quite a rollercoaster ride! Today's announcement was well received by the market, with WGX finishing up +5.88% at $1.80. It's worth a read actually. It's got some attitude. They start with this heading: "Westgold Operating as Usual" - and they end with this:
"It’s an ever-changing situation and we’re not sure what tomorrow brings but we’re standing tall, ready to fight it and win”.
You gotta love that optimism!
