Iberian Minerals Corporation
IZN-X
TOP PICK
Jul 21, 2011
Zinc producer in Spain and Peru. One of the biggest things holding the stock back is that they have a number of hedges in place for their production. A significant portion of hedges comes off this year. 2012 cash flow should ramp up significantly. Trading at less than 2X cash flow.
Right next door to Eurozinc (EZM-T) so there is potential for consolidation. Did a giant issue last week (33 million) when the shares were at $1.50. Priced the issue at $1.52. Since it had never hit $1.50, why would you pay a new high and one very big investor was getting out of a lot of shares. Not a bad company or a bad asset, but one of the big block clear first.
Zinc/copper project in Spain, near Lundin (LUN-T) properties. Recently got their licence for a processing plant and tailings dam. This is the next most likely consolidation candidate. On the assumption of $1 zinc and $2 copper, the company is producing $100 million in cash flow in late 2008 and 2009.
