This is a developer. If you are going to own a developer this has a deposit in the Yukon with 2.2 million ounces’ reserves, quite low grade at .8 g per ton. According to the engineering study they put out, it still looks like it will be a decent project with a good rate of return. What is interesting with this, is that when you have a low grade project and can make a go of it, and you find a little bit of high-grade, it goes quite a long way towards increasing the rate of return. This has happened in this case making it a potential acquisition. The stock price has been pushed up to what he considers unjustifiable levels. Wait for the euphoria to die off before stepping in.
He likes management. They have been in the Yukon for a long time. The project is marginal right now. With a rising gold price they already have a feasibility study, so a lot of de-risking is done. He likes that they are doing more drilling and looking at other parts of their land package for more value. He is optimistic on this.
Location of their deposit is remote though politically secure. Not impressed with their feasibility study (low cash flow relative to capex), and is extremely leveraged to higher gold prices. Perhaps investors who want a company to own Canadian assets may consider buying this.
