Transition Metals: Pipeline growth without dilution

V.XTM, Transition Metals, gold, Ontario, Scott McLean

Transition (V.XTM) CEO Scott McLean is very clear about the difference between a project generator and a junior explorer, “The big difference is that a traditional junior will raise money by diluting the shareholder’s equity to fund the advancement of one or two projects.   Under the project generator business model, the Company holds multiple projects and the exploration is funded by a partner in return for a stake in a specific project. This model allows projects to be funded with minimal shareholder equity dilution. The approach leverages the investor’s exposure to the upside that can come from discovery in a manner that insulates the downside that can come from excessive shareholder dilution if results prove unfavourable” read more
