Has just gone into production. Cash flow generation at today's gold prices could be at about $300 million or so and with the market cap at about $1.4 billion, so it's a cheap stock. Expect they will get to 4-5 hundred thousand ounces in the next year or so.

DON'T BUY

It is low grade and they have had issues getting it to make money. It probably won’t make a lot of money ever unless the price of gold goes up.

COMMENT

Stock is priced as though they had no exploration projects, which he thinks is a mistake. It seems too cheap. They did a reasonable job of handling their severe operating difficulties. Company has done a very good job of operating politically and socially in West Africa. Thinks political risks here are overstated.

COMMENT

Good deposit in Ghana and a well-run company. Thinks the deposit grows and they have another deposit in the Ivory Coast that is high-grade and will make money as well. Thinks this is something that should be acquired by a larger company.

STRONG BUY

Mines in different parts of Africa. Cash flow positive. Trading at very cheap valuations. Feels it is a fantastic stock to own. There is still a lot of hesitation because of it being in Africa. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it get taken out.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Sep 30/11, Down 21.75%) Not far off it’s pier group. Still likes the company. Nothing wrong with it. It would make a good takeout candidate.

BUY
One of the few names that he still has in West Africa, where he has been reducing his positions because of political issues. This one is a very attractive growth stock and trading at very cheap valuations.
TOP PICK
(Top Pick Jul 13/11, Down 19.56%) Under promised and over delivered and this is one of the few that is producing and has done this. One of the only companies he has seen bring a mine into production under budget and on time. Grade higher than they originally thought. Will grow from 200,000 oz to 400,000-500,000 oz of production.
WEAK BUY
He has been there twice before and during development. Did a good job of putting it in production. A good company and a good deposit. High grade of deposit. Not the best country.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 18/10. Down 1.02%.) Still likes.
TOP PICK
Just ramping up to be a 250,000 ounce a day producer, which he expects in 2012 with the possibility of expanding to 400,000 in a couple of years. Expecting it to be a takeout.
TOP PICK
West African Gold Play. Ramping up production of first asset. Target end of July. Gold coast asset being developed. Fell off radar screen because of issues with west Africa.
TOP PICK
Gold in West Africa expecting to start production in 2 weeks. Expecting 200,000 ounces in the next 12 months, ramping up to 280,000 and eventually 400,000 and 450,000. Trading at a very low multiple. Great takeout candidate because of production and low-cost.
BUY
Gold assets in Ghana. Not a producer yet. Has been correcting for the last 3 months or so and has come back to a really nice level in the last week. Market is starting to anticipate the move to producer status.
BUY
Gold assets in West Africa, Ghana and Ivory Coast. Good management. Going into production this year and expected to produce 80,000 ounces in Ghana this year and probably 200,000 next year followed by 278,000. Cash costs expected to be about $450 to $500 an ounce so have a lot of leeway. Will continue to grow through the drill bit.
