| WATCH | 2.580 | Charles Oliver | Recently acquired an Australian company, Perseverance at a bargain price. He is in a “wait and see” mode as to how Perseverance will fit in. Looks very interesting. | 2008-07-07 | |
| BUY | 2.760 | Pat McKeough | Heavily influenced by the price of base metals, which are all over the place. Hard to predict a target. If you were going to have a portfolio that includes speculative mining, this would be a good choice. | 2008-06-20 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.150 | Benj Gallander | No longer has a large upside, as is typical of the resource sector. Not a stock that is interesting at this point. If copper does well then this should do well. | 2008-03-25 | |
| WAIT | 2.730 | Don Vialoux | Combination of gold and copper. Stock is coming down to the bottom of its trading range. Momentum indicators are clearly quite negative. Look for it when it's closer to the bottom of its trading range at about $2.50. | 2008-01-16 | |
| WATCH | 2.900 | Paul Macdonald | Remaining ore is quickly declining. Will get very cheap and more attractive. Waiting to see if it will come off more before obtaining it. | 2007-09-18 | |
| DON'T BUY | 3.290 | Bill Carrigan | Typical gold stock. Over time, have not been a good investment.
High interest rates, and US dollars, will cause it to go down. | 2007-06-13 | |
| Comment | 3.870 | Dennis Dasilva | A gold producer with one mine. Low cost because of a copper by-product. Limited growth. Possibly an acquisition candidate. | 2007-04-05 | |
| DON'T BUY | 4.300 | John Embry | Not a great fan of this company. People running it have done a great job. Benefited hugely from copper, which is now coming back to earth. Would rather be in gold plays than copper. | 2007-02-08 | |
| HOLD | 3.690 | Bill Belovay | Has both copper and gold. Low grade, but they have no problems at current prices. Very good operational people. | 2006-10-24 | |
| WEAK BUY | 3.260 | Paul VanEeden | Very good management team. The deposits they are operating are decent. There is some copper associated with it which is a risk. He is bearish on base metals. | 2006-10-11 | |
| DON'T BUY | 4.130 | Bill Harris, CFA | A lot of their valuation is based on their expansion to the north on their existing projects. At these copper prices, everything flies. A really leveraged investment. If you are playing the copper price, this is very interesting. From a quality company point of view, he gets nervous. Sceptical about the expansion project. | 2006-09-01 | |
| HOLD | 3.430 | Peter Brieger | Looking at this gold stock on a junior level. Waiting for the market to settle down. | 2006-06-12 | |
| DON'T BUY | 4.150 | Bruce Campbell | They are doing the right things in trying to expand. Any copper story becomes very dependent on what the price of copper does. Getting too risky for him so he sold. | 2006-05-31 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.630 | Bill Belovay | Recently bought Northgate Minerals, adding to his position. He likes that it gives you leverage to the two top commodities, copper and gold. There is a shortage of copper in China. | 2006-03-14 | |
| DON'T BUY | 1.440 | Bill Harris, CFA | A straight copper producer. Low grade bulk mining. With higher fuel costs and stronger Cdn$, the operation is less profitable going forward. The real value is on their exploration project. Probably riskier than what the company might lead you to believe and that is what the market is reflecting. | 2005-08-10 | |
| WAIT | 1.750 | Bruce Campbell | A small cap with the South Kemess and hopefully bringing on North Kemess. A copper/gold producer. Extremely well run. Very cheap. Needs to have some catalyst. Looking at another mine to become a 2 mine producer. | 2005-03-24 | |
| DON'T BUY | 1.760 | Werner Muehelemann | A gold producer with a large copper by-product. The development of their project Kemess North will not have a big return on it. Too risky. | 2005-03-23 | |
| DON'T BUY | 2.000 | David Burrows | Has some assets in British Columbia which they have been trying to expand on reserves and bring a mine back to life. Market prefers assets where there is production and good reserves. | 2005-03-14 | |
| BUY | 1.810 | Don Vialoux | Has been under pressure the last week or so due to poor earnings reported. Broke a key support level last week and continued a short term downward trend. On a seasonal basis, there's good reason to believe it's going to start coming back. Will respond to gold. Would play this for a trade between now and the end of May. | 2005-02-10 | |
| | | | |
|
| DON'T BUY | 1.910 | Werner Muehelemann | Trading at a low multiple. Didn't like the numbers behind the feasability study for their expansion. Felt the expansion wouldn't be very profitable. | 2005-01-06 | |
| BUY | 2.190 | Robert Floyd | Recent earnings have been very good but stock has not reflected this. Once there is a resumption in the metals, it should participate. | 2004-08-03 | |
| VAGUE | 2.080 | John Embry | Not as enthusiastic about copper as he is gold, so this would not be a favorite. If you are a fan of copper, it is a solid situation. | 2004-06-29 | |
| WEAK BUY | 1.980 | John Embry | Management has done a wonderful job in handling a very difficult project. More copper and gold, so not as enthusiastic as with other stocks. | 2004-05-11 | |
| BUY | 2.920 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | Doing a feasibility study on Kenneth North deposit and has a 40% upside target based on this. | 2004-04-16 | |
| BUY | 3.250 | Bruce Campbell | Gold with a 20% copper component. One of the cheapest Gold stocks out there. Priced at under net asset value. | 2004-04-01 | |
| BUY | 3.030 | Mark Jackson, CFA | A copper/gold play so it has two of the better metals. A good company to own. Good price. | 2004-03-15 | |
| VAGUE | 2.980 | Reg Ogden | Good management. Doesn't expect to see any large increase. Have one of the best mining teams around. Have some interesting results. | 2004-03-10 | |
| VAGUE | 2.610 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | | 2004-02-02 | |
| BUY | 2.610 | Robert Cohen B.A.Sc., MBA, CFA | Has terrific leverage to the copper price. | 2004-01-23 | |
| HOLD | 3.040 | Benj Gallander | Has had a tremendous run. There is some possibility of an upside, but maybe getting a little high. | 2004-01-09 | |
| TOP PICK | 2.400 | Bruce Campbell | Likes the gold, but the outlook for copper is fantastic. Trading very cheaply. | 2003-12-12 | |
| DON'T BUY | 2.630 | John Embry | Have done a great job of resurrecting a second-class ore body. Prefers pure gold plays. A major shareholder just sold a major block of shares, which makes him uncomfortable. | 2003-11-19 | |
| WEAK BUY | 2.530 | John Embry | Have been saddled with a terrible mine, but have done a really great job. Now into an exploration play on gold and copper. | 2003-10-21 | |
| DON'T BUY | 2.040 | Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng. | South Kemess mine is not providing any substantial revenue. The real upside will be the North Kemess mine. Risk/reward is poor. | 2003-09-02 | |
| DON'T BUY | 1.480 | John Embry | Had a checkered background. Strong Cdn$ has hurt. Prefers pure gold plays. | 2003-07-16 | |
| DON'T BUY | 1.480 | John Embry | A copper/gold play, but prefers pure gold. | 2002-07-15 | |
| DON'T BUY | 1.310 | John Embry | Has a lot of debt. Too risky. | 2001-11-07 | |
