The Eastfield Group's Corporate Strategy is applied to Eastfield Resources and Cariboo Rose Resources. The strategy has four key points:
- Project Venturing - Projects are acquired at an early stage and are optioned to third parties to provide exploration funding. This adds leverage that allows the company to pursue several projects at once, resulting in reduced overall risk.
- Metals and Deposit Targeting - The group confines its exploration efforts to large deposit types, containing metals with strong supply demand relationships. It is committed to adding high quality gold and copper properties to its portfolio.
- Political and Economic Stability - The group prefers to work in areas that allow cost-efficient exploration, with secure mineral tenure and progressive mining law. Many of their properties are in British Columbia, Canada, where recent political changes have significantly warmed the climate for mineral exploration.
- Low Overhead - The management team is committed to tight administrative cost controls. Low overhead, combined with cash flow from property option payments, reduces the need for equity financings and share dilution.
Eastfield Resources is a one choice investment for the risk tolerant investor that would like to participate in multiple discovery opportunities of multiple minerals in a single public company. The development strategy is to advance these projects by enticing partners and optionees to do the work.
This reduces downside risk to investors while leaving a strong upside in the event a project discovery does catch the interest of a major producer.
- Seven active projects with a recent new discovery at the Zymo property.
- All properties have significant potential for major discovery.
- Minerals include gold, copper, silver, nickel, molybdenum and PGM.
- Experienced management with geologists who are familiar with the projects.
- Company is known and respected in the industry and is 20 years old.
- A good capital structure with approximately 44 million shares outstanding.
- High leverage - properties are developed by optionees or joint venture partners.
- No debt, substantial unallocated financial resources.
- Low political risk environment in Canada and the United States.
- Still low total market capitalization.
