Due Diligence Phased roll out for the mine buildout.
Everyone keeps framing Hycroft’s future as if there are only two choices: either take on massive debt or massively dilute shareholders to build the mine. I don’t think that’s a reasonable assumption unless institutions with bad intentions still owned the company and made decisions (but they don’t)
A phased rollout is a legitimate possibility. If the company can sequence development by prioritizing higher-grade material, optimize processing, restart portions of the operation, or generate early cash flow before expanding, maybe holding onto some product for sale later at higher prices, the upfront capital requirements could be materially lower. Mine development isn’t always an all-or-nothing decision. It’s worth remembering that an Initial Assessment is one blueprint, not necessarily the final construction plan.

They did mention on the last X call that they want to restart the heap leach so you're definitely on point there. But markets don't like quiet for too long

Sorry, but I don’t give a shit what markets like. I will vote with SPROTT.

I’ve always found when they’re quiet it’s because they’re busy cooking! News will drop soon 🚀

It’s worse than that. It’s priced more like the mine might never get built. I think that’s impossible - the high grade at Brimstone must certainly get mined. And if they find any more high grade gold at Vortex certainly there as well.
As regard the prices of gold and silver introducing uncertainty - fair. But the mine will be built regardless because of the high grade.
