It is a higher cost asset. It is more volatile. They have a cash flow profile that will drop in a couple of years. The stock is off while investors plan to come back to it in a couple of years. You are buying it for the cost of the infrastructure. He would prefer to hold it for two years. (Analysts’ target: $20.44).
This consists of one large mine at Detour Lake in Northern Ontario. Very, very large and very low grade. If you were incredibly bullish on gold, it would be an interesting name to own as you would get a lot of torque, and the high cost producers’ margin expansion is a lot greater as gold prices move higher. There are probably better names to own. Not only do you have the high cost issue, but you also have the single mine risk.
