Stock price when the opinion was issued
A new producer in Canada. Unique and in Nova Scotia. They are opening their new mine, a Moose River consolidated mine project. It is going into production in October, and should be commercial by the end of the year. 85,000 ounces in 8.5 years. Sub-$600US an ounce production cost, so margins will be very robust. The ability to double from 2 satellite deposits, probably in 3 years, will more than double production. (Analysts’ price target of $2.17.)
New management has done a fantastic job of implementation. Where the rubber meets the road we’ll be seeing how the operations from that mine work over the next 2 quarters. If they break it in successfully, and maintain nameplate capacity, he expects the stock will re-rate higher. The next 2 quarters will tell the story.
A great little underappreciated story. Nova Scotia. It took three years to build. It is dirt cheap. They have two other satellite deposits that can expand the project. They are going to explore them in order to discover resources to go on beyond 10 years. (Analysts’ target: $2.46).
