Jaime CarrascoK92 Mining IncKNT.TOWEAK BUYNov 02, 2020

Doesn't own because of he doesn't understand the geopolitics in Papua New Guinea. This is why he prefers investing in North America whose geopolitics he does understand. Otherwise the company looks good: properties, production, metals in the ground. He has a $12.50 target and his company has this as a buy.

TOP PICK

On the back of an abrupt pullback in gold prices, we reiterate KNT as a TOP PICK.  Recently reported earnings showed record cash reserves, revenue increases of 47% and record production rates.  We continue to recommend a stop at $25, looking to achieve $36 — upside potential over 18%. Yield 0%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate KNT as a TOP PICK.  This miner with interests in Papua New Guinea expects gold production to increase at least 9% in 2026.  It trades at 20x earnings and boasts a 45% ROE.  We're watching debt increases closely, but cash flow remains firm.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $22) to $25, looking to achieve $34 -- upside potential of 23%.  Yield 0%

HOLD

A name he likes. Cautiously optimistic that current political environment is better for developing the resource industry. With pressure on currencies, sees pricing for all commodities in USD continue fairly strong.

TOP PICK

As the Papua New Guinea gold producer inaugurates a major plant processing expansion, we reiterate KNT as a TOP PICK.  It trades at 14x earnings and supports an impressive 44% ROE.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $13.50) to $16.00, looking to achieve $23.00 -- upside potential of 27%.  Yield 0%

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

KNT has been producing gold in Papua New Guinea since 2018 and recently reported a 71% increase in Q1 production, just as gold hits all-time high prices.  Cash flow is so strong, they are able to build reserves while aggressively deploying capital on project expansions.  It trades at 20x earnings and supports a ROE of 26%.  We recommend setting a stop-loss at $9.50, looking to achieve $16.00 -- upside potential of 30%.  Yield 0%

BUY

Very high-grade deposit. Good exploration success. Share price has kept pace with development. Not sure that someone will take them out, as the chart shows it's doing just fine on its own. Not sure they want to be taken out, institutional investors would help them fight off any approach.

HOLD
Intrigued with company and people. Does not own stock in company. Good, but not a great company to own.
