Stock price when the opinion was issued
These stocks are not loved right now. It is funny because this is the least owned sector in all of North America and there is no one participating in them. He has this one rated as a Neutral with a $2.75 target. The fact that they are producing and they are working through is very important and very good. It just requires patience.
Had owned this before. It had a decent asset base in Mexico. Troublesome from a production perspective for a little while, but they fixed those problems and shored up the balance sheet and raised some money at the right time. Has a strong balance sheet. You have to have a constructive view on gold prices. Sees it as a takeout target.
Have an existing single mine in Mexico, about a 120,000 ounce producer. Relatively low cost. Did an acquisition of 2 companies to try and build up the inventory. It is questionable of how early stage they were. There is a financing risk because they cannot finance from cash flow. There are also permitting risks. Don’t expect much in terms of growth, for a couple of years. There are other places he would prefer to be.
Surprise that the stock is up as much is it is today because he thinks they said they were going to delay the information on their mine plans. One of the better stories in gold. Wait for the earnings to come out before participating.
