Oceanagold Corp (OGC-T)

Doesn't own, but it's the kind of gold company that likely does well in next 2 years. He suspects that over the next 1-2 years, mid-cap names such as this will either do well or will be taken over. Scale matters in equity markets today; mere inclusion in indexes is good for the share price.

Chart's seeing a pause, because it ran up so fast. And that's OK. Markets pull back in 2 ways: either by going down, or by consolidating. There's a really good case for owning gold. This one could consolidate for another 1-2 months or so, and then break out. If he owned it, he'd hold.

Likes gold companies operating in stable countries. Australia, Canada, Philippines. Really, really strong balance sheet. Trading at book value. Attractive as a potential takeover by a senior producer due to its low valuation and great balance sheet. Yield is 0.7%.

Mostly Asian, Pacific-based, but now moving into North America in the Carolinas. Doing a lot more deals in Nevada and Argentina.

A mid-cap gold company. They are having trouble with their Didipio mine. The Philippine government has put a kind of moratorium on production as they review the environmental impact. This makes it a tough place to invest. If they lose their license, it represents 30%-40%. The political risk would scare him away.

Based in Australasia and were picking up a lot of assets. For some investors, this might be overexposed to the Philippines right now. They have the Hale deposit in South Carolina they are building on, and are now taking more of a focus in the Americas. They’ve been quite active in regards to placements. He sees this being quite active in the junior mining sector.

Golds have gone into a corrective phase. They have been working very hard to reduce costs and with success. It’s okay, but he thinks it will not work out over the next few months with a rising US dollar and rising rates.
