Rick Rule Pretium Resources PVG-T COMMENT May 12, 2017

A first-class company. Very quickly they’ll be boring gold. His suspicion is that like most mines, when they turn it on, it won’t necessarily perform to expectations. A very high quality deposit and is led by a mining legend, Bob Quartermain, who is had 4 previous starts and been successful every time.

COMMENT

A lot of people outside still don’t know if the head grade they are proposing in the feasibility study, is actually what is going to come up. That is one reason why the asset, head grade of 50 g, has not been taken over by anybody, and had to be funded by private equities because other companies are still uncertain if the grade is going to be real. That might take a while.

COMMENT

The Bruce/Jack project north of Stewart BC. In their final stages of construction, with 13 km left to go on the powerline. This will be a very interesting mine to follow. The geology is complex because it has a high-grade nature to it, and is a little nuggetty. If this works, it will become one of Canada’s important gold mines.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick April 28/16. Up 27%.) Building an incredibly rich grade gold mine in BC. The findings are spotty, and it could be tricky geology. In a strong gold price market, it is extremely attractive. Thinks it will get taken out because it has a substantial asset and is very close to having it in production.

TOP PICK

One of the greatest recent gold mines in the last year or 2. They have solved all the problems on the West Coast and they are in production. An excellent buy for someone. (Analysts’ price target is $19.00.)

WATCH

Has great confidence in the CEO whom he considers a friend. They started a mine in B.C. and delivered a good first quarter, then a poor second one. Be patient. It will take four quarters to see how things work out. Right now, it's way
oversold.

WATCH

He has been in and out of it over the years. The project is built and in operation. It always takes time for these large projects to work right. It takes a year plus. There is an update in April. He hopes it works out. If they fail it will set the industry back. He is on the sidelines for now.

RISKY
Owns just a bit. Cash balance continues to grow significantly. Continue to build production. Likes it because they have reserves on the ground. Patience will be rewarded because of the resulting leverage.
TOP PICK
As a gold producer, it has good upside earnings growth potential without needing a rally in gold prices. The stock trades at 1.5 times book value. Yield 0%. (Analysts’ price target is $17.45)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 07/18, Up 36%) A volatile stock, but he likes the golds, holding 10-20% in a portfolio. Gold has a long runway.
