Mentor Capital Gold in Storage Avoided New 39% Swiss Gold Tariff
PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mentor Capital, Inc. (OTCQB: MNTR) reports that President Trump's August 7, 2025, 39% tariff placed on the two-thirds of the world's one-kilogram and 100 ounce gold bars that are smelted through Switzerland was fully avoided by Mentor's prior purchase of the Company's one-kilogram bars and gold bullion backed funds. Mentor's gold position now equals approximately 80% of Mentor's total stock market valuation. In addition, Mentor owns cash-like and energy assets purchased or held in 2025 equal to approximately another 100% of Company's total market capitalization, after netting out the Company's only debt which is owed to its CEO and founder. CEO, Chet Billingsley has continued to buy Mentor Capital, Inc. (MNTR) stock during 2025 increasing his personal position by 340,000 shares. Share Mentor CEO, Chet Billingsley, has continued to buy Mentor Capital, Inc. (MNTR) shares on the open market during 2025, increasing his personal position by approximately 340,000 shares. Mr. Billingsley remarked that, 'The Company finished the March 31, 2025 ending quarter with a book value per share equal to 248% of the current stock market asking price. That has allowed me or anyone else to buy shares at a better than 50% discount to the value of the Company's underlying net gold, cash and oil well assets.' Mentor's approach here is to utilize the gold as a temporary placeholder for the pool of current and future Series Q Convertible Preferred Stock investments, whenever the next newly made preferred investment by accredited investors is received until that position can be allocated to the best energy project in Mentor's core holdings. In this fashion, Mentor's unallocated preferred investment funds are kept to virtually zero. Mentor preferred were first valued at $10,000 per share on June 30, 2018 and were valued at $20,843 per share on March 31, 2025.

Mentor targets the classic energy sectors of oil and gas, coal, uranium, and their related operations, with already established cash flows, especially through royalty payments.
