| Comment | 33.680 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | Yamana Gold (YRI-T) trying to acquire. Management/shareholders are opposed. Grew through exploration while Yamana grew through acquisitions. Have a number of projects that are not being recognized by the market. Possibly has some other suitors. | 2007-09-06 | |
| TOP PICK | 31.500 | Bill Carrigan | Had a run-up in 06 followed by a Bear and is now starting to break out. A new Bull cycle could take it to new highs. | 2007-09-05 | |
| HOLD | 36.200 | Bill Belovay | Has been an enigma, in that they have good operations, good management but didn't seem to go anywhere. Have been hit with a lot of operational problems in Argentina. Have some very exciting expiration projects that they are working on. Outlook seems good. The big question is, will it be a takeover target. | 2007-02-15 | |
| TOP PICK | 33.920 | Bill Belovay | Company hasn't grown. New CEO, which may mean they're going to start growing by acquisition or, it might be acquired because it is a friendlier face. Have some very good projects. | 2006-11-29 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 30.510 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | (A Top Pick Jan 11/06. Up 3.3%.) Their flagship mine is in a bit of transition right now because of expansion. Still likes. Should have very good upside. | 2006-07-31 | |

| TOP PICK | 29.300 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | Their Chilean property is proving to be a 6 million ounce camp. This is one that has lagged lately. A low-cost producer. | 2006-01-11 | |
| BUY | 21.750 | John Embry | The Askell assets in Argentina will be an asset once it gets into production. Likes this stock. | 2005-07-05 | |
| WAIT | 19.740 | David Burrows | Keep a close eye on golds. His sector model indicates they are pretty sold out. Wait for buying to come back into the market. US$ has been strengthening against the Euro and there's been a very tight correlation with gold to the US$. Look for 1) stocks to rally along with the gold price and 2) gold starting to trade independently of the US$. | 2005-05-03 | |
| WATCH | 22.660 | Peter Grandich | Could be a Take over target. | 2005-03-07 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 22.600 | Ron Meisels | (A Top Pick Nov 16/04. No change.) Went into a horizontal trading range where it still is. A good area to accumulate it here or around $19/20. A gold stock that is ahead of the crowd. | 2005-02-01 | |

| TOP PICK | 15.900 | John Embry | A quality play. Low-cost operation in Chili and have found a new vein which is very promising.

| PAST TOP PICK | 14.000 | John Embry | (A top pick Apr 15/04. Down 7.5%.) Still likes. Gold price has depressed the stock price. Could be a takeover candidate. | 2004-05-11 | |
