Mining
It's the ideal tool to help you make quicker, more informed decisions for managing and tracking your investments.

You might be interested:

HOLD
Intrigued with company and people. Does not own stock in company. Good, but not a great company to own.
WEAK BUY
Doesn't own because of he doesn't understand the geopolitics in Papua New Guinea. This is why he prefers investing in North America whose geopolitics he does understand. Otherwise the company looks good: properties, production, metals in the ground. He has a $12.50 target and his company has this as a buy.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 09/19, Up 231%) A market darling centering around a gold operation in Papua New Guinea. The gold tailwind hasn't hurt. KNT was already gaining investor attention before this gold rally. He sees more upside here, so he's holding onto this. Also, this could be taken out down the line.
DON'T BUY
Political risk? There's less than people think. Papua New Guinea is a frontier market with corruption, but the government has treated mining fairly well--without mining, PNG would have real problems. THE KNT deposit is a fine discovery. But KNT is fully priced as a result.
BUY
The performance of the stock amazes him. They have a big discovery project right now. The numbers from their drilling program is good. There is geopolitical risk since it is in Papua New Guinea. The stock is doing well and he is unsure if he wants to chase it. (Analysts’ price target is $5.00)
BUY
The stock has done phenomenally well. It is the darling of the market. As they build out their mine, the market has become more comfortable with the jurisdiction.
TOP PICK
The fundamentals appears stronger than what the share price shows, he thinks. Their production has grown from 42,000 oz to over 80,000 oz this year. They have projections to over 120,000 oz next year. The only company producing higher grade gold is Kirkland Lake. He expects it will be added to the GDX index. This could be the gold story for 2020. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $4.50)
BUY ON WEAKNESS
We're in the 2nd inning of the gold bull. Sell when it runs up and buy when it goes down.
TOP PICK
Operations in Papua New Guinea where they continue to have exploration success. They could have great success and be taken out by a major player.
COMMENT
Seems to be improving. The operating performance has improved. He is warming to it but there many other opportunities out there.
DON'T BUY

Papua New Guinea is not the safest place. Numbers seem pretty good, but the sentiment is that nobody cares anymore.

COMMENT

Located in Papua New Guinea. It was opened by a renowned man who searched the world with his renowned team as to which project to start up. They settled on this as the best assets in the ground in the Gulf sector. Have been making some good discoveries.

DON'T BUY

He knows management from several prior adventures where they had good results. He does not yet see the size in this one necessary to temp him.

COMMENT

A high-grade deposit in Papua New Guinea. The land package is great and the exploration potential is really good, but what they are doing is mining narrow high grade veins. The previous company was not able to do this. Until they can show they can make money mining those veins, it’s not something he would be interested in. There are a lot of promoters pushing things, and you want to be careful.
