Conclusion

Investors who have invested into this IPO can consider ‘Exiting’ from their position at the closing price of $0.20 as on January 20, 2022, given:

Increasing rate hike scenario: Give the heightened inflationary pressure across the globe, rate hike from the US Federal Reserve is eminent. An increase in the rate hike will have an adverse impact on the gold prices, as gold is inversely proportional to interest rate.

Supply chain bottlenecks: Given the rapid spread of Omicron variant of Covid-19 across the globe, supply chain bottlenecks have again resurfaced. Companies are facing containers shortage and steep rise in shipment costs.

Inflationary pressure: The cost of mining has significantly increased on the back of heightened energy prices, increasing shipping cost, among others. For small-size companies, higher inflationary pressure could be detrimental for their growth.
