TSE:OSK
Has a good mine in Quebec. Market did not like a resource company making an acquisition. Will be a survivor. This one is fine. Gold is tough. The correct price of gold deferrers from person to person. If gold is a commodity $1200 may not make sense. Mines cannot be developed for less than $1300 an ounce. Gold should go higher if there is a shortage of supply, but if it is a currency, that could be different. It is traders pushing buttons.
If they can deliver then it is relatively cheap. You are trying to catch a falling knife. A number of issues ramping up their mine. The second half of this year will tell you a lot about where this company is going. Guidance is back-end weighted. Only time will tell. Balance sheet is in decent shape. They will be a survivor. Needs to see them hit milestones before going in.
(A Top Pick June 11/12. Down 30.9%.) Sold her holdings. Had some restarting issues and some Québec issues about developing in the high-grade area.. She thinks a lot of that is behind them. Very cheap at this level. In the gold space, she is very selective and this is one of a higher cost producers. If you own, consider moving over to Yamana (YRI-T), a low-cost producer and a much more sustainable model.
No dividend but will generate lots of free cash in the next year and a half. They are in production and so don’t need to go to capital markets. There is an opportunity here. He has G-T because of the dividend.
