John Embry Aurizon Mines ARZ-T BUY Apr 17, 2006

Currently going into production. Feels there is execution risk, but the guy who is running the program is very impressive.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 4/06. Up 15.7%.) Northwestern Quebec. Still likes it a lot. In production.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 20/06. Up 8.7%.) Owned this one specifically as a takeout. Took some profits. Have a great asset and ultimately someone will buy or merge with them.
TOP PICK
Really good project in northern Quebec. Will be producing at a rate of about 160,000 ounces a year. Catch costs of around $280 an ounce. Has another discovery called Joanna near Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec and is likely to be a very large open pit bulk mining gold. Undervalued on the Casa Berardi mine alone.
COMMENT
The only gold stocks that held up really well are those that are in prominent indexes. Smaller gold stocks are in gold funds and are under pressure for reasons that have nothing to do with the underlying operations of the company.
HOLD
Ontario gold producer. Good growing production profile. Recent weakness is because of the weakness in gold. Potential takeout prospect.
HOLD
Gold stocks have some room to pull back. Produces about 150,000 ounces a year with potential for exploration and development success.
COMMENT
This one tends to be a bit of a trader as it has a lot of periods when it tends to go sideways. Have done a good job of developing the Casa Berardi mine but some disappointment in how much they have ramped it up. He’ll continue trading it.
DON'T BUY
It is pretty common for gold stocks to go down with the price of gold and then to not go up with it again.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Good, stable jurisdiction in Quebec.
DON'T BUY

Hold off buying Hecla now. They were looking for accretive cash flow from the acquisition.
