Takeover Trend of Near Term Producers
I analyzed two stocks today - Oroco Resources and Cerro Resources - that continued a trend.
Both of these companies had very similar stories. They were both near term producers with very advanced projects. Once the projects were de-risked, larger companies came in and made offers.
Goldgroup mining bought the Oroco Resources project for $18 million in cash ($38 per oz M&I). But it has exploration potential, so they are paying much less. Shareholders had an easy 5 bagger if it went into... more

Analysis
Updated: DELETE - Oroco Resource Corp.
Oroco Resources is another case study of why investing in gold mining stocks is so risky. They had an advanced project called Cerro Prieto that was on the verge of getting financed and developed into production. It was a 500,000 resource (M&I .7 gpt)... more

Silver versus Gold Inventory
There is about 150,000 tons of gold above ground, and at least 5x that amount in silver. But those totals are irrelevant. What is relevant is what you can purchase.
About half of the gold total is in jewelry and artwork. The amount that is recycled and re-enters the market as bullion and coins on an annual basis is negligible for the total gold supply for sale.
So the gold inventory is about 75,000 tons (gold and bullion) and it is rising at very small rate of about 2,000 tons per year.... more

Auriga Gold Update
I originally issued a news release stating that this is a 5 rated stock, along with a youtube analysis (which I subsequently deleted). I have reduced their rating from 3.5 to 3. I was fooled by their company presentation, which implied they had a loan for $23 million and were proceeding with constructing mind and beginning production in 2013. However, this presentation was from October. Subsequently, in November they issued their last news release (that should have been a big red flag) that... more

Thailand out of gold?
April 6th
Thailand runs out of gold! Could this be another domino falling after Cyprus? Last month it was a bank in the Netherlands (ABN Amro) that stopped delivering gold to their customers.
