| DON'T BUY | 0.335 | Bill Harris, CFA | Multi-million ounce gold deposit ready to go. Waiting for one permit. Venezuela has tipped over on the risk spectrum. Finds it very difficult to have any clarity on what is going on there. | 2009-02-10 | |
| DON'T BUY | 0.690 | Greg A. Taylor, CFA, BBA | This one highlights the political risk that has been seen in the gold sector of late. Venezuelan government just threw out their permit and it is now a big uncertainty as to what they actually own. | 2008-05-07 | |
| Comment | 0.920 | Lawrence Roulston | Have an incredible deposit, but dealing with the government in Venezuela is an entirely different realm than dealing with other jurisdictions. Didn't get the government approval they were hoping for. | 2008-04-30 | |
| SELL | 2.160 | Gavin Graham | (Market Call Minute.) Gold stock in Venezuela. | 2008-04-09 | |
| DON'T BUY | 2.270 | Lyle Stein | Haven’t owned in years. Got burned by the Venezuelan government, a volatile area. Keeping mining money in north America. | 2008-03-28 | |
| DON'T BUY | 1.700 | Kenneth P. Norquay, CMT | In a downtrend. The rest of the market during that time didn't do too badly. Don't buy until the trend starts. | 2008-02-12 | |
| DON'T BUY | 2.130 | Peter Hodson | Great asset for 15 years in Venezuela, but they have yet to get their permits. Would not invest in that country. | 2007-12-14 | |
| HOLD | 2.830 | Bill Carrigan | Stock advanced when gold stocks were declining, so it had high relative strength. When the gold market turned around the stock started to decline. Once the trendline was broken in July, all bets were off. Shorter term charts show it trying to form a base. He wouldn't add to it, but if you own it, you might want to stick with it and see if it rallies. | 2007-10-10 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.720 | Bill Carrigan | Because of the Venezuelan political issues, insiders will know more than we ever will and this will be reflected in the price. This one has fallen out of bed while the other gold stocks have been rallying. | 2007-07-30 | |
| DON'T BUY | 4.300 | Robert Floyd | Has some foreign exposure issues. Much safer if you are investing in North America. Should have moved up with gold today, but actually dropped. | 2007-07-12 | |
| DON'T BUY | 4.470 | Jeff Parent | Difficult to analyze. There are big spurts of volume based on news. There is a lot of trading activity at around $4.30 and it can go either higher or lower. | 2007-07-06 | |
| DON'T BUY | 4.770 | Kenneth P. Norquay, CMT | Chart is volatile, it's struggling to meet it's high of last year. It's a day trader special, not investors. | 2007-06-01 | |
| DON'T BUY | 4.670 | Michael Smedley | Finds it extremely difficult to buy into a foreign owned mining company in Venezuela. Chavez is a very unfriendly, dedicated, extremely clever man. | 2007-05-25 | |
| Comment | 4.720 | Bill Carrigan | This is a gold stock that most people love to hate because of the politics. Lately it has been displaying higher relative strength than its peers. Feels there is a story that has not come out yet. Thinks it's heading higher. | 2007-05-15 | |
| DON'T BUY | 5.330 | Robert Floyd | A little gun shy because of their location in South America and the possibility of nationalization. | 2007-05-11 | |
| DON'T BUY | 4.220 | Kenneth P. Norquay, CMT | Slight uptrend, but the main characteristic is that it goes up and down and there is no real progress. This is a short-term trader’s stock. It is currently in a pullback, but the rest of the market is going up. | 2007-04-17 | |
| DON'T BUY | 4.500 | Brendan Kyne | Chavez has constantly looked at foreign operating entities in Venezuela as possible takeovers. This is clouded the development and investments. | 2007-03-28 | |
| SELL | 3.450 | Peter Brieger | Its area of operations is in Venezuela and he wouldn't touch anything that headed a connection with its current government. | 2007-03-21 | |
| SELL | 3.540 | Peter Grandich | He wouldn't own anything in Venezuela. He feels the long, long overdue permit is part of the government’s strategy to forestall. | 2007-01-26 | |

| PAST TOP PICK | 4.340 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | (A Top Pick July 31/06. Up 35%.) This has the Venezuelan risk that is part of the volatility. The current up tick is the market saying they will get their permit. | 2007-01-02 | |
| DON'T BUY | 4.280 | John Embry | Hasn't liked this one. A low-grade ore body in Venezuela. Venezuela is a huge risk. Easier ways to make money. | 2006-11-30 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.900 | Peter Grandich | One of the last un-developing gold deposits in the world today. Still waiting for the last environmental permit in Venezuela. Well over 10 million oz. of gold. There is some question as to whether they will get the permit. He is concerned about the country risks. | 2006-11-27 | |
| Comment | 3.510 | Bill Harris, CFA | Gold in Venezuela. They are at a crucial time where they are going to get a development license and go in, and hope to operate it. | 2006-11-20 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.050 | Peter Grandich | This company has been waiting for an environmental permit for a long time. Very cautious on this stock. | 2006-09-22 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.620 | Hugh Cleland, CFA | Has stayed clear of this one because of the political risk factors of Venezuela. | 2006-09-07 | |
| TOP PICK | 3.200 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | Bit more risk in this stock. Market capitalization of $621 million. Very cheap. Awaiting their final environmental permit from the Venezuelan government. Risk/reward is excellent. | 2006-07-31 | |
| SELL | 3.410 | Lawrence Roulston | Have very strong negative feelings towards Venezuela. Wouldn't buy anything in that country. | 2006-07-12 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.370 | Peter Hodson | Would avoid the company as you have no idea what the Venezuelan government will do. There is only one more permit for them to get but they might not get it. | 2006-07-11 | |
| BUY | 3.110 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | In Venezuela. Feels that Chavez can be trusted. Have already had their feasibility study approved. Waiting their final permit from the Ministry Of Environment and then the can start constructing the project. He is currently adding to his position. | 2006-06-29 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.280 | Bill Belovay | Venezuelan president has talked nationalization of mining companies. Not a good place to be. | 2006-06-26 | |
| SELL | 4.620 | Paul VanEeden | They have a fantastic deposit in Venezuelan but are they going to be able to mine it. Too much political risk. | 2006-05-30 | |
| DON'T BUY | 5.050 | Peter Grandich | Thinks it is a phoney priced company. It’s in an area where most companies would not be interested. Too expensive and is very concerned about Venezuela. | 2006-05-12 | |
| DON'T BUY | 6.770 | David Baskin | Has had a lot of positive hype lately but you are dealing with dangerous geography and with volatile prices. Given the action that has gone on in the stock, if you own it sell half of it today. If you don't own, don't buy. | 2006-04-18 | |
| WEAK BUY | 3.100 | John Embry | Not a fan of Venezuela and its political outlook. It's a very big ore body and if you don't mind the political upheaval that can occur, you can make a lot of money. | 2006-01-10 | |
| SELL | 1.750 | Jay Taylor | A great deposit and potentially a great mine, but the Venezulan factor is too much of a risk. | 2005-10-04 | |
| DON'T BUY | 1.540 | Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTA | Has underperformed quite dramatically. This is a sector that is doing very well, so wouldn't buy this one. | 2005-09-28 | |
| DON'T BUY | 1.550 | Michael Smedley | Stock has been hit quite heavily. Venezuela is a problem politically. | 2005-09-27 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.000 | Ross Healy | Had negative earnings, so they are still in the cost phase. Stock is not particularily cheap at 4 X book value. The balance sheet is not particularily encouraging. | 2005-09-14 | |
| HOLD | 3.900 | Peter Grandich | One of the few juniors that holds a very large deposit in Venuezela. Involved in a very long ownership battle. A significant deposit. | 2005-01-28 | |
|
| |||||
| BUY | 3.830 | Jim Huang | They have the rights to a Velezuelan mine and there is some disputeas to title. This should fade away. When they get their mine up and running, it should be worth $7/8 a share, but in the meantime there are a few hoops they have to jump through. Leveraged to gold and if gold goes up, they should do OK. | 2005-01-19 | |
| DON'T BUY | 4.180 | John Embry | Have reached a stage where if someone doesn't buy them, they'll have to build the mine. Prefers owning gold stocks when mining is actually going on. If the stock gets cheaper, it could be a takeover. Prefers others. | 2004-12-22 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | 4.200 | Peter Grandich | Made a turn around because it was able to change day to day management. Has one of the largest yet to be developed gold resources in the world. Still some lingering doubts about its ownership of the Venezuela property which really shouldn't affect the stock. A potential takeover target so on any further pullback, buy. | 2004-12-13 | |
| DON'T BUY | 4.310 | David Burrows | Recently there has been some concern about the strength of their claim in Venezuela. Stopped themselves out of the stock. Also has a more cautious view on gold than he did a month ago. | 2004-12-10 | |
| HOLD | 5.410 | Peter Grandich | Good management. Has a huge deposit in Venezuala. Might be a little extended. | 2004-11-19 | |
| TOP PICK | 5.150 | David Burrows | Have the Las Christinas deposit in Venezuella. Approx. 12 million ounces estimated in the ground which would make them bigger than any of the intermediate producers in N.A. At this point in the rally, it is important to own a lot of oz in the ground. | 2004-11-17 | |
| WEAK BUY | 4.330 | John Embry | The issue will be getting the project financed, but expects that will happen. A very large and old ore body and would hope that it will be a takeout. Venezuela can be a problem. | 2004-11-01 | |
| BUY | 4.670 | David Chapman | Has broken out of its highs. | 2004-10-22 | |
| BUY | 4.290 | Paul VanEeden | Seems to have won control and legal title of Las Cristinas which is a world class gold deposit. Feels their problems are behind them. Question is, are they going to sell the project or develop it. A good speculation. | 2004-10-01 | |
| TOP PICK | 3.730 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | A large tonnage, low grade deposit. Very comfortable with their rights to mine in Venezuela. | 2004-04-16 | |
| BUY | 3.740 | John Embry | Just completed an equity financing. Probably a good opportunity as the price has dropped. Huge ore body and a management that believes. A discount in value because of its location in Venezuela. | 2004-04-15 | |
| BUY | 3.780 | John Embry | Has a high regard for the new management. Has a large ore body. | 2004-02-18 | |
| TOP PICK | 3.370 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | Feels that they do have ownership of their Venezuela property. This had been an issue. Had a positive feasibility study. Very undervalued. | 2003-12-19 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.600 | John Embry | A tricky stock to evaluate.Overpriced.They may be too small to handle the Venezuela property. | 2003-08-14 | |
| DON'T BUY | 2.090 | John Embry | Has a lot of issues. Looks speculative at this time. | 2003-07-16 | |
| DON'T BUY | 2.010 | Peter Hodson | Was not a fan of the old management. Have new management now. Concerned on political risks. | 2003-02-04 | |
| DON'T BUY | 2.180 | John Embry | Very tricky deal. Better buys elsewhere. | 2002-12-03 | |
| WAIT | 3.490 | John Embry | They don't have the mineral rights in Venezualla yet. | 2002-09-16 | |
| DON'T BUY | 2.460 | John Embry | Not a fan. Too well promoted. | 2001-08-01 |
