Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTA Harte Gold Corp HRT-T DON'T BUY Mar 27, 2017

They have never had any revenue. Nobody knows what will happen so they are speculative. He thinks gold will have a rally up to $1350 if we go unto uncertain on the equity market. ZJG-T is a junior gold ETF and a better way to play it.

HOLD

Located in the Sugar zone in Ontario. They’ve drilled the top 400 m of their deposit, which has a decent grading resource at about 7-8 g a ton, and have about 4000 ounces. That means they have found about 1000 ounces per vertical metre. That is a pretty good metric for the start of a deposit. He would like to track this to see how it goes as they go deeper, and if the deposit can grow some legs on it. Pretty interesting.

COMMENT

This got a little bit of press because of the recent Alamos (AGI-T) acquisition of Richmont in the last week, which is in the same vicinity. A nice little deposit, and he sees good upside to more regional exploration. Sees a resurgence in the Canadian gold space.

BUY

They are mining gold in Ontario in the second half of this year. He has been focusing on tiering his risk. He likes producers and these guys will be in production in a year or two, perhaps by the end of this year. At Canadian prices, Gold prices are tremendous. There is visibility in their production.

TOP PICK
Ontario gold production. It has started small but expanded through satellite operations. He expects good growth going forward. Yield 0%.
DON'T BUY
The location is good, but they've had operational problems, one after another. They also have high debt vs. cash flow.
DON'T BUY
He's concerned about its small scale and operational track record over the last 6 quarters and their level of debt. If they fix those problems during the high gold price, this stock could scream. Too risky.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 09/19, Down 69%) He exited. They were likely undercapitalized, so couldn't endure any hiccups, probably overoptimistic and did not issue the best guidance. There is new management. The asset remains good, though. Their project is in northern Ontario, probably run on a shoestring budget at first, then ran out of money. It could several quarters to turn around.
SELL
Higher costs thwarted profitability. Move on.
