Stock price when the opinion was issued
Has never owned this. The deposit was looked at by Rio Tinto and Anglo which spent a lot of money on it, but then both walked away. His investment thesis on any exploration or developing companies is for an eventual take out. When he sees 2 majors walking away from it, it makes him think twice. Also has problems with the economics as some of the high grades is much deeper.
(A Top Pick Dec 14/16. Up 13%.) One of those eternals that is desperately trying to become one of the world’s greatest copper/gold mines in Alaska. It has recently been affronted by criticisms from so-called EPA scientists who have not been given a chance to protest about certain permits being granted.
A great deposit. He is nervous about the ongoing political and social dispute in Alaska. The permitting process will be long and potentially toxic. He really wants to see what unfolds.
