Stock price when the opinion was issued
It is in his portfolio with a target price of 6 and change. He expects to meet with management in a week. They keep reporting in terms of the amount of gold they have in the ground--it keeps increasing. Management generally completes developments of their deposits on time and within budget. His concern is that they have taken on significant debt. Once they ramp up, he thinks the price should ramp up. He thinks this is the best gold company on his list.
They are hitting their targets. When he bought them, they had no debts but they have taken on some to expand. They are bringing on their expansion under budget. There is concern about political risk but the mine is far from the danger zone. Once they get the mine running, they expect to pay down their debt. They also hope to give a dividend, though he thinks that will take a while. His sell target is $6.
Has 2 major knocks against it. Based in Turkey and has about $120 million in debt. They’re expanding their copper play and making money. The balance sheet is going to get murkier, but they are coming in on a mine expansion, on time and under budget. Feels it could triple from here. (Analysts' price target is $3.15.)
