Brent Cook Barkerville Gold Mines BGM-X COMMENT Sep 27, 2012

His partner is a senior shareholder. It has always been known as a location with superior exploration potential. He suspects the next 5 years will be much better than the previous.

(Market Call Minute) It is early days and will not produce gold tomorrow.

This is going to become one of Canada’s highest producing gold mines. It is in BC with low political risk. High grade gold and they start production sometime this year.

His knowledge of this company is a few years back when he worked at Sprott Asset Management. Thinks there may be permitting issues. He likes the gold space in general which has a lot of momentum behind it.

Thinks that new people, Sean Rosen and the Osisko (OSK-T) people, have come in is very important. The system has a lot of gold in it, but it hasn’t been consistently/thoroughly explored. It is really going to feel the drill bit in the next 12 months. This is a great big system, but they don’t have the data to tie it together. The potential is gigantic.

The bad news is more historic. The original management team did a lot of drilling. Sprott took the company over. He hopes that modern exploration technology and an aggressive drill budget will lead to success.

This is sort of betwixt and between a small producer or a large exploration project. Until he sees the fruits of the most recent drilling campaign, a very aggressive one, he has a difficult time tying a deposit together. There is gold all over the place, but he hasn’t seen enough data to construct what he thinks of as an ore body.

He's owned this for a long time. Caribou gold project is uncovering good grades. This will get taken out as the bigger guys buy the little ones in this space to replenish reserves. He has even bought a little more of this stock. (Analysts' price target: $1.39)
