Junior Golds Rebounding Strongly

Junior Golds Rebounding Strongly Towards Historic Valuations - RBC

by: FP Trading Desk June 26, 2009

It is hard to believe that just seven months ago, the junior gold sector appeared to be completely dead. But times have thankfully changed. Analyst Michael Curran of RBC Capital Markets demonstrated that the sector is rebounding strongly towards its historic valuations.

Mr. Curran tracks non-producing golds through a unique measure called "adjusted market capitalization per total resource ounce" (AMC/oz). Historically, he wrote that the group average has been in a range of $50 to $75 an ounce. But when the market bottomed out last November, it fell to a woeful low of just $12 an ounce.

The recent numbers are much more encouraging. In March, the average moved up to $23 an ounce. And in his update Thursday, he wrote that it has increased again to $33 an ounce.

To find the best junior gold investment opportunities, Mr. Curran seeks out companies that have strong takeover potential, and/or could be re-rated by the market. To help identify the best plays, he ranked them using a "3-Factor Model" that includes grade, size of deposit, and geopolitical risk. ----.
