Long owned this. They make a lot of money for a small-cap. They now have a second mine in the Ivory Coast while their Burkino Faso one will continue to do well. A cheap stock that gives you exposure to gold. (Analysts’ price target is $2.47)
The only small cap gold stock they own. It's caught up in the West African politics. They like the projects going forward though and they are securing their production.
It is a high grade underground gold deposit in West Africa. The company has been generating free cash flow. It is a good management team and they are starting a new project also in West Africa. There is a security risk in these areas, however.
A high grade underground mine. They do not need a lot of power -- it is high grade. US investors do not like West Africa right now. If the project was anywhere else, it would do well. He would not be a buyer because of the security issues.
One of the highest grade deposits in the world. They have no debt and prints cash. He thinks gold prices will go higher. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $1.70)
(A Top Pick Apr 13/18, Down 13%) Got cheap and sat there. Projecting huge amounts of money for the size of the company. In motion to build up to a mid-size gold company.
It is one of the best in the space. It has a single asset risk and exploration has not born out given what they have spent. A recent acquisition may change things in terms of diversification. A fund was a major holder of this stock last year and liquidated it and put the valuation under pressure.
He has looked at it in the past. A portfolio manager change with a few key mutual funds may have resulted in the stock priced getting hurt as they sold out of their positions. They have done a good operational job, but it is a little too small for him. He is going to take a closer look going forward.
Cheap. Trading at book value. Nice upside potential. Some African countries are attacking Canadian companies for more royalties. He hasn't heard that it affected this company specifically.
Their Burkina Faso mine (after 10 years of peace) is now faced with an Islamic insurgency, which makes this very risky. Operational results are very good to great. The managers are competent.
High-grade gold deposit in Burkino-Faso that he visited. They're down 40% YTD. They're exposed to Burkino-Faso which has security issues. Asset is great. Gold and G-F need a turn in sentiment.
(A Top Pick June 14/17 Down 29%) Falling as gold prices have weakened. He still believes at some point gold will come back in favour. The company continues to make money even at these price levels.
He is playing the precious metals market with this stock. They have been very cost efficient and are well placed for the eventual gold price run up over the next 5 years as the US begins to deal with trillion dollar deficits. He views them as a defensive way to play this sector.
