  • RNC Minerals: Beta Hunt Valuation Implies Significant Upside
    Long Ideas | Basic Materials | Canada RNC Minerals: Beta Hunt Valuation Implies Significant Upside Oct. 9, 2018 3:07 PM ET152 comments | 28 Likes by: Alt Investing Plays Summary RNC Minerals quite literally struck gold at their Beta Hunt site (100% owned interest) in the Kambalda mining district of Australia. The RNC team extracted 27,000 ounces of high grade coarse gold from a 60 m3 cut at the 'Father's Day Vein' (high grade gold structure). The vein is now estimated at 540 meters in length and may extend in various directions representing significant gold extraction opportunity. Sediment structures including the above vein extend for a total of 8 kilometers, may extend in various directions and may contain significant high-grade gold deposits. Conservative assumptions made on strike rates, the grade of gold extracted and various capital and cash flow assumptions imply the market has priced in the downside scenario with significant upside opportunity.

  • Awards Program from the Co-Chairs of National Philanthropy Day 202O
    AWARDS PROGRAM FROM THE CO-CHAIRS OF NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY DAY 202O Welcome Welcome to our 35th annual National Philanthropy Day. When we started planning this beloved tradition, we had no idea that this event would need to be re-imagined. Yet here we are doing our first virtual celebration of the amazing philanthropists and fundraising professionals who have made such an important impact on the Bay Area. We strived to make today’s event meaningful and memorable in a new way as it feels to many of us, now more than ever, the need to connect as a community and honor those who bring us hope for a brighter tomorrow. Today’s program could not have been possible without the active participation of the Association of Fundraising Professionals Golden Gate Chapter Board of Directors and our National Philanthropy Day committees, and the generous financial support from our sponsors. Together, with the help of Leftwich Event Specialists, Hovercast, our Chapter Administrators Sabrina Ritchie and Andrea Hoar, and our graphic designer, Vicki Valentine, we have a special program that carries on the tradition of National Philanthropy Day. Special gratitude goes to our emcee Renel Brooks-Moon who is such a force in the community, and we are honored to have involved with this celebration. Normally we would ask each individual involved to stand to be thanked. Given that we are not able to physically stand together, we ask that you look at the list of our volunteers in the program (page 37), as well as the sponsors of today’s event (pages 5 and 6), and join us in a virtual round of applause.
