Stock price when the opinion was issued
Have done some interesting things. New CEO has put a lot of his money into the company. Just announced a deal with Newmont (NMC-T) to buy the Midas Mine and financing it through Franco-Nevada (FNV-T). There is now the potential to see a company that has a decent deposit with high grades going into production. Very interesting story and he has to do more work on this.
A small gold mining company in Nevada. They are cranking out cash even in the poor pricing environment. Now that prices are getting better, he thinks they become a pretty good take over candidate. At this stage in the market, you typically see the bigger guys buying reserves. Even if they don’t get bought out, it is an attractive stock.
He likes the gold sector, and thinks it will do well in the downturn. This company is the 4th Canadian domiciled company to enter the Russell 2000, so their investor base is going to increase dramatically. It has the most stable growth in the gold sector, and is trading at about a 20% discount. (Analysts’ price target is $6.13.)
They have properties in Nevada and have had good drilling success recently. But he is negative on the commodity. He thinks the project is economic, however.
