AMC threw both its analysts and memestock shareholders for a loop this week after the company announced it was acquiring a 22 percent stake in a mining company. Not a crypto<\/em> mining company \u2014 a company that mines actual silver and gold. It\u2019s a baffling investment for a movie theater chain, enough so that one analyst we spoke to called it a \u201ccomplete misuse of shareholder capital.\u201d<\/p>\n

To acquire a minority stake in Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation, AMC is spending close to $28 million, a not-insignificant chunk of change for a company that not so long ago was teetering on the brink of bankruptcy<\/a>. Hycroft, owner of the 71,000-acre Hycroft Mine in Nevada, is sitting on \u201csome 15 million ounces of gold deposits and some 600 million ounces of silver deposit,\u201d if AMC\u2019s press release<\/a> is to be taken at its word. AMC boss Adam Aron characterized<\/a> the investment as \u201ca bold diversification move.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur strategic investment being announced today is the result of our having identified a company in an unrelated industry that appears to be just like AMC of a year ago,\u201d Aron said in a statement. \u201cIt, too, has rock-solid assets, but for a variety of reasons, it has been facing a severe and immediate liquidity issue. Its share price has been knocked low as a result. We are confident that our involvement can greatly help it to surmount its challenges \u2014 to its benefit, and to ours.\u201d<\/p>\n
