The stock to own if his much higher gold price prediction is correct. Producing a lot of ounces and are a fairly high cost operation in Nevada. They'll make a lot of money in higher gold prices.
Operates a gold mine in Nevada and if there is a decline in the US$, this company will give you leverage. Their negative is that they have a very hungry mill with limited gold to feed it with.
Owns 20% of company. They have had decent results. Believes that gold will go higher. He has no intention of selling the stock and believes that it go to $1.00.
Has a lot of problems. Working on the Jarret canyon deposit, which is a complex of deposits in Nevada. Trying to reduce cash costs, but it has gone up to $640 and ounce.
Merging with YGC Resources (YGC-T). This has been a very disappointing stock. They couldn't operate their mine successfully. Great land package. Wouldn't buy at this time until you see what happens.
You could see quite a bit of value coming out of this, but it may take some time. Had a lot of operating difficulties with their Jarret Canyon mine and haven't been able to generate enough cash to fund exploration. Cutting back considerably on production and will be cash flow neutral at best.
Merging with YGC Resources (YGC-T), which has an interesting exploration project in the Yukon. They're old mine in Nevada has been very troubled and expect it will be shut once the merger is completed.
