Charles Oliver, HBSc CFA Colossus Minerals Inc. CSI-T PAST TOP PICK Jan 15, 2013

Extremely high grade gold, platinum, palladium. Stock has been hammered. The question now is, “how is the mining going down there”. He doesn’t have the insights on this. It will be a difficult mining situation. Probably a high enough grade deposit that it works. Too many questions on it for him.

His company has this as neutral with a $3 target.

Sold a royalty deal to Sandstorm (SSL-T) for $60 million. They are a 75% holder of the Serra Pelada gold and PGM property in Brazil, one of the highest grade properties in South America and run by an excellent management team. Project is 75% complete so we should be seeing cash flow shortly.

He has this as an “outperform” with a $4 target.

It’s been oversold. Thinks when he has an analyst in place and if they confirm the info they have, then he would be a buyer.

They are looking to restart a mine in Brazil. It used to be open pit but they are going underground. But they are not doing any feasibility study. He has been on the sidelines with this one. The resource is delayed until 2014. But they are preparing to build a low cost mine that will go into production probably in 2014. It could be potentially a very good mine. He will wait until he sees the mine up and running to get an idea of the life of the resource.

(Market Call Minute.) Did an issue at $1.60 and it is now $1.18. They finally had to raise money even though it wasn’t expected. It will be up and running later this year.

They have the large Serra Pelada platinum group metals/gold mine in Brazil which is probably 90% complete in terms of getting up and running. Will be producing a lot of high density metals as well as gold. Likes this company.

Sold his entire position. Believes there is an outstanding deposit there, but unfortunately previous management was unable to execute on a strategy on budget and on time. As a result, they have built up a fair amount of debt. Have some credibility challenges now. Too many risks.
