Goldmoney Announces Investment, Partnership in UK Bases Lend and Borrow Trust

Toronto-based Goldmoney, a gold-based payments and savings platform that allows users to acquire, store, and spend gold that is stored in a secure vault, has announced a partnership with Isle of Man, United Kingdom-based investment company LBT Holdings. Goldmoney is also making an undisclosed private investment into the company.

“We are delighted to invest in this early stage, and potentially revolutionary, peer-to-peer lending model and provide our precious metal infrastructure to LBT clients.”

LBT Holdings is the parent company of the Lend & Borrow Trust Company (LBT), an online platform that offers auction-rate peer-to-peer lending and borrowing.

Through the partnership, eligible Goldmoney clients with Full Holdings will be able to access LBT auction rates and earn interest income from loans fully secured by precious metal collateral. Borrowers will be able to monetize their precious metal holdings in their choice of five national currencies.

Goldmoney said the investment will give it the ability to nominate a board member and provide metal dealings and storage solutions to LBT’s clients. The company also said that clients with a Goldmoney Holding, which consist of UK residents and businesses, may gain access to LBT’s auction rates and earn interest income from secured loans.

“It’s a small balance sheet investment,” said Josh Crumb, chief strategy officer and CFO at Goldmoney. “We have a meaningful enough stake, and good partners that we can scale up with later. It’s the kind of deal we want to do at this stage in our business, one that helps us grow our core ecosystem without taking on a lot of the early stage risk.”

Goldmoney’s investment into LBTH includes common shareholders Eric Sprott, and James Turk, lead director and chairman at LBT. The company says that LBT’s offerings will first be available to businesses and UK residents at roll out, and other countries will be added over time.

“Goldmoney was founded on a mission to provide clients with unparalleled access to precious metals ownership with minimized counterparty risk,” said Roy Sebag, CEO of Goldmoney. “LBT has a similar goal of providing clients with an alternative for their national currency savings. LBT currency deposits have no banking counterparty risk, a revolutionary idea and one I believe many clients seek in the prevailing artificially-low interest rate environment known as return-free risk. We are delighted to invest in this early stage, and potentially revolutionary, peer-to-peer lending model and provide our precious metal infrastructure to LBT clients.”

In December, Goldmoney added the Royal Canadian Mint’s precious metal storage vault to its vault network. The company was also listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in April 2016.

Billionaire Eric Sprott Builds Position In Gold Mine

Now having lots of acreage doesn’t necessarily mean it’s all ripe with nuggets of gold just waiting to be picked up, but in Kerr Mines (TSX: KER) (OTC: KERMF)’s case, its damn near that rich – and WAY UNDERVALUED in share price, which we’ll explain further on.

The [property] is fully-permitted with extensive infrastructure in place, meaning Kerr Mines has a 450 ton-per-day mill already onsite and the tunnels going down to the high-grade gold ore are already there.

Now to its ore bodies.

There are 942,000 ton of Measured and Indicated gold ore with a grade of 10.3 grams per ton. That’s some high-grade gold!!! On the Inferred side, there are another 335,000 ton with a grade of 12.2 grams per ton. That’s in the soon-to-be further explored “South Zone”, which has GREAT POTENTIAL TO EXTEND THAT ORE BODY. But in the Proven and Probably category, Kerr Mines (TSX: KER) (OTC: KERMF) has 910,000 ton with an average grade of 8.8 grams per ton. So, what does that spell? MONEY, BABY…. MONEY!!. Now you can see why the great Eric Sprott got his checkbook out and bought into the project.

There are many factors that determine the value of a mine. The grade of gold is obviously first in determining an investment into a gold stock like Kerr Mines. But with such HIGH GRADES of gold, from Proven, Measured and Indicated to Inferred, the numbers are OFF THE CHARTS.

So, is Kerr Mines a takeover target? Perhaps, but not from the likes of the majors, like Barrick Gold (NYSE: ABX), Newmont (NYSE: NEM), or GoldCorp (NYSE: GG). Why? Too small… but with Kerr permitted with a mill in place and the tunnels opened up to access the three zones previous not mined and the heavy hit Kerr Mines (TSX: KER) (OTC:KERMF) discovered in the South Zone, its most likely going to be in production next year. In fact, the feasibility study needed to go into production is expected in the fourth quarter of this year. So that tells us that Kerr Mines intends to go into production.
