Why I Doubled Down on Brigus Gold

June 17, 2011 – Comments (35)

I know I just posted another blog post a short time ago, but I am way too excited about this account of my visit to Brigus Gold's Black Fox Mine to wait any longer before sharing it with my Foolish community! :)

Why I doubled Down on Brigus Gold

http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2011/06/17/why-i-doubled-down-on-brigus-gold.aspx

There are a lot of unbelievable bargains out there in the gold patch right now, after the stocks have been hammered mercilessly for weeks (even as the gold price has firmly held its ground!). I am appropriately mindful, therefore, that many of you are likely joining me in pressing youir positions across multiple favorite holdings at this stage. Within that context, I want to encourage Fools to consider making room for Brigus Gold within their baskets of precious metal stocks, because everything about my recent experience in Ontario tells me that this particular company has all its ducks in a row to enjoy a sustained period of meaningful organic growth.

I've been tracking the Black Fox property for years now, including the prior frustration of missed expectations and other challenges associated with earlier chapters of the site's development under the pre-merger ownership of Apollo Gold. Since the merger in mid-2010, however, it's been a different story entirely, and I don't think the market has recognized the operational momentum that has already been generated through the company's multiple accomplishements since that time.

The phase 2 open pit is on the ore, the underground mine is on the ore with 2 mining faces with a fast-track to 12 available faces, the amazing exploration success elsewhere within the complex offers a simple path toward a steady-state production increase from the annual run-rate of 104,000 ounces per year that the company is fast-approaching, and I ran out of room in the article to even duscuss the fact that Brigus' sprawling mill property itself sits atop an historic underground gold mine that is also a high-priority exploration target with meaningful potential. As an added bonus, CEO Wade Dawe has proven his mettle as a gifted dealmaker in spades by the nature in which he built Linear Gold and transformed it into Brigus. The company's other assets and retained invesment interests must also not be overlooked, and combined these underscore the extreme low valuation presently alotted to Brigus shares. It's a deep value play, and a roaring growth play, and that in my mind is the rare combination that can separate the great stocks from the good ones.

I'd love to know what you think of the company, the mine, and my write-up, sp please be sure to share your thoughts after reading and reccing the article. Thank you as always for your readership, and I wish each of you persistent peace of mind in the knowledge that these battered-down precious metal stocks will soon be back on the market's radar.

Fool on!

Another piece of good news that hasn't been annouced is high likelihood of a larger mill. I've spoke with management it is still under evaluation. From what I gathered , should they build the mill, production at the open pit+U/G would increase anywhere from 25-40%. 

 My only concern is that they will be unable to fund the capital expenditures for Goldfields, continuing  aggressive exploration and mill upgrade and also be able to buy back 50% of the stream sold to Sandstorm Gold at $36.6m. Any thoughts on this? 

Another Good write-up Chris

I mentioned this in the comments section of the original article, but want to repost here to get more answeres..so here goes..

"On a more important note, I see in their Q1 report that the total cash cost for an ounce of gold sold was $1,097.00, and that they sold their gold at an average price of $1356.00. While they state their cash costs were impacted temporarily due to construction costs for the under ground mine and processing lower grade ore, I am wondering if BRD mentioned what type of reduction in cash costs per gold ounce sold investors can anticipate and if they gave a time frame for that reduction? I assume as production ramps up, cash costs should go down.

I wonder, can one look at cash cost increases due to mine improvements like a depreciating asset?

My ability to ask these questions and understand their implications is largely due to you Sinch, many thanks!"

I think an expanded mill with production from the Contact Zone and 147 Zone in a little more than a year's time would provide sufficient cash flow to permit the company to consider a range of strategic avenies going forward. The Goldfields asset is a solid one, but it is relatively low-grade, so they may find thay have superior development opportunities or priorities emerging elsewhere as well ... which is always a great problem to have.

I have a feeling we'll see additional discoveries at Black Fox supporting a more localized growth strategy that could potentially see Goldfields deferred (my interpretation ... nothing they indicated to me), which I would consider a positive development. Maybe even a tie-up with St. Andrew Goldfields? Hmm...

I'm fairly agnostic on the matter of the Sandstorm royalty, since I am also a Sandstorm shareholder, but if they deem a 50% buy-back a suffucuent priority, there is no question in my opinion that they will have sufficient cash flow to make it happen.

Speedybure:

Thanks, for your heads up on Sandstorm.  I started buying on May 20.  My average  cost is under $1.09 / share.  I have quite a "chunk" now.  

Do you know how many shares you need to have before they "comp." you a room at the annual meeting?

Hey Sinch,

 This is an unrelated question, but I was wondering if you could explain to me why gold has increased so much since 2000? It has increased from ~$300 per ounce to $1,500 per ounce, but M2 has only about doubled according to the St. Louis Fed. 

Is there a supply/demand imbalance, or is it because it's more expensive to extract now due to high fuel prices? I know you obviously don't think it's unwarranted, but I wanted to get your thoughts on the matter.

 I'm not trying to "bash," I'm really just curious because I can't come up with dollar depreciation alone making up the difference.

Sinch,

Nothing like a first-hand visit and first-rate write up to get the juices going for Brigus. Fortunately I have some investable cash as I've taken a small portion of my Great Panther holdings and been playing the bounce:  buy at around $2.60 and sell at $3.25.

I won't do that with Brigus;  this is buy-and-hold. 

A big thanks to you and TSIF  for Sandstorm as well;  picked up Warrants and Stock.  The warrants convert in 2014 at a lock-in of USD 0.60; a slam-dunk currency play with a precious metals kicker.  Life is good!

I appreciate the question, but please understand that it would require a lengthy tome to offer a comprehensive response. In a ridiculously shortened form, I will state that the it's a fallacy to expect a matching percentage increase in the gold price to the percentage increase in M2.I had an old blog post I was going to point you to, but the link is failing just now. I'll try to find it.

Focus more on the supply/demand fundamentals for gold, particularly the scant per capita ownership vs. the historical norm, and you will start to get a picture of what is supporting the price increases. There are countless other factors in play, most of which I've written about before, so I would also encourage you to spend some hours using the CAPS search tool with TMFSinchiruna inserted among your relevant search terms.

It's not too late to understand gold, and I wish you the best of luck in your research endeavours.

Yes.  They expire April 2014 and convert to stock at a fixed price of USD 60 cents.  The stock is currently trading at about $1.22 so each warrant costs about 62 cents.

The latest from BRD  "Brigus Gold Corp.

I wish you could all have been with me in the exploration lab where the drill cores from the 147  and Contact Zones were laid out. There was so much visible gold in those cores!

I'll ask their VP of exploration, Howard Bird, for a pohotograph of this latest core segment that produced the 4,165g/t ... I'm curious to see what that would look like.

TMFSinchiruna thank you again for sharing the info. Having someone truly onsite is very valuable.  The picture is impressive.  While core sample data may be more more meaningful analytically, the photo adds a visual to what the real goal is. 

Gonzhouse, I'm not sure how I helped, but thanks for the callout. I did do some deep diving on a few of Sinch's calls.  I flagged Sandstorm in the hopes of a lower entry as I was expecting a pullback, but Sandstorm didn't participate in the pullback, so I'm left out of the recent run. Great Panther did have a pullback that worked for me.Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose. Overall, I should probably do less market timing.  Good call. 

Overall on Sandstorm, they are currently fully deployed.  If any of their holdiings drops the ball and fails to execute then this could hurt them in the short run.  Overall management appears to have the risk/reward balanced.  Good luck.

Thanks for the ticker info.  Where does one look to find warrant information on a company? Since you mention the warrants expire in 2014, does that mean you have until then to buy them or you have to hold them that long before selling, if selling them is your intent?  Not saying it is, but only for the sake of this exercise.

Thanks

 The link below takes you to Sandstorms Investor's Center - Stock information page.  They show 2 classes of warrants:  one expiring in April 2014 at 60 cents and the other in October 2015 at 1.00.

Warrants can be sold just like stock (but the market is usually thinner).  I will buy warrants for the same reason I buy Call options:  a way to lock in a price on a stock that gives me time to get funds together for stock conversion when the warrant or option expires (sort of a stock lay-a-way).

Take your time. Before investing in warrants, I suggest spending at least a handful of days researching the topic and familiarizing yourself with how they work, etc. They can be a powerful tool, but they are not for anyone who may lack a complete and comprehensive understanding of them.

Great ones, many of which came to my attention thanks to e-mails received by members of this community in response to the call for target companies for the microcaps series.

I was doing such a good job raising cash a month ago to protect from any potential panic selloff scenario, but the values out there became too deep for a Sinch to ignore, so essentially I am back to all-in mode. Without seeking to make any calls about a bottom, recent action has the feel of a near-term exhaustion of downward momentum, and so the next step for me is to gradually rebuild a reasonable cash position yet again on the upswing while permitting several of my recently acquired bargains to run for the long-term.

You know what was amazing to see? The resilience of AUQ (formerly GRS) throughout the recent sector weakness! Looks like I chose a top pick for 2011 that was both strong out of the gate, and resilient in the face of adversity. I am pleased with the selection thus far.

 Here's some additional information relative to Sandstorm you may find interesting:

I think this quote is from hyperinflation but, I am not 100% sure.  I've thrown up some relevant links below it:

"Sandstorm recently announced the proposed spinoff Sandstorm Base Metals and Energy whose business model will mirror that of its brother company but focus on base metals, oil & gas. Each shareholder of Sandstorm resources will receive 1 for 1 of the new company. Though it will dilute the brother company by 1/36th ( in order to give some financing to Sandstorm base metals & energy), the new company already has 500k of working capital in addition to an option on the Eagle Lake Uranium project. This will give investors two royalty companies which focus on a range of commodities."

 Note:  The above, has already occured.

Certainly not a dumb quesiton, and this may be the right forum to ask it.  Unfortunately many questions go unanswered because they are not seen by the right person(s).  Sinch attracts a "crowd" of informed "Fools".

It's difficult to make investing advice as everyones situation, (timeframe, risk/reward, etc) are all different.

I own both, but Sinch and the others on this thread have more data and probably stronger opinions.  I'm certain they have stronger positions.  If any words of caution are used they appear to cut cut up. 

Ruby has been somewhat disappointing after releasing their core samples the end of November.  The method(s) for measuring, infeering minerals can vary by the souce. Ruby's method was questioned by some standards and the 35% share price decayed away rapidly.  In most cases sample reports cause spikes and drops. Some people trade them. If you are long you ride through them and buy on the dips if you can.  Currently Ruby is sampling the area with the other method, (real extraction from a large sample).  The results from that should be out any day now.  If they confirm the core sample Ruby should get a 20% or more jump.  If they don't then there could be lingering weight on the shares.  

Another consideration in a miner is their likelihood of getting their permiting and what the infrastructure, (power, access, process capability) is.  Ruby should also be getting final permitting soon. Power is being expanded in their mine area, but is still not direct and generators may be required.

Overall, Ruby is advanced for a JR miner, has sufficient funds to go to market, has not diluted shareholders too much, etc. 

Another consideration with smaller miners is the potential they could be bought out.  Ruby has some potential, but I am not aware of any direct fits/overatures.

So Ruby is stable, has excellent prospects and has a few catalysts very soon on the horizon as it finalizes samples and starts production. 

BRD is already producing, has the means to expand, has funding and according to the experts in this thread is also being overlooked, so decent upside.  They will need to pay off their debt with the early take and they need to get their cost down.  It also appears they have some dependencies on others for the processing that could be a bottleneck.  Overall, however, could be a sleeper.

Of the two, I personally prefer Ruby in the short run, if I could only chose one, but I would recommend taking a half position in each if funds are limited. 

I'm sure you'll get different answers on which others would choose, but it appears this thread should get you somethings to consider and I look forward to reading the other replies.

I think a basket is best, and giving advice doesn't come natural to some people. I've often said that at least in the short run, I should pay someone to run a mirror account shorting my preferred calls!!!  ;)

Good luck,

TSIF

And the 35%  share price gain from the initial report of the samples in November decayed by March.  Another report in March also generated a 27% spike that decayed by April.

I'm hopeful the next report causes a nice spike followed by permitting that holds this time!  ;)

Thanks Sky Pilot, I absolutely love differing "opinions". It's one reason I'm here on CAPS.  The last link you provided from an article by Chris in April explains very well the issues Rubicon had on interpreting their samples. Much clearer than my babbling, I don't think I saw that one.

  That Rubicon will present the findings from the bulk samples soon and which direction things "might" go is a little newer.  It looks like they are holding out until their annual meeting this Wednesday, June 29th.   "Waiting" brings in all sorts of varying opinions. I've been trying to determine whether to "buy into it" or hold.

The area is certainly fertile since gold prices stabilized at current levels long enough to attract funding.

Thanks TSIF and SkyPilot -

Personally, I have invested some of my gains from SLW (thanks Sinchy), into RBY. To me even though RBY is not producing its mcap is close to a billion when compared to BRD. I guess production is not the only variable. Since the value of the miner is what and how much they hold in the ground and how profitably they can extract it. My question from apples to apples comparison point of view is this:

who among RBY and BRD seems to be holding more reserves based on there extraction capacity. That eludes me. Theres just too much technical jargon that is hard for me to decipher.

From the Risk perspective, I see more risk in RBY since its not producing any and its valued so richly. If it disappoints in its report, it can be catastrophic for the stock. On the other hand, if its F2 gold system does contain what it claims and more, I believe Gold Corp will be lining up for RBY's assets before it can achieve production status. That will be a way for GG to snap up a definite cash producing stream with no risk at very good price.

Just my 2 cents.

RBY is under the gun right now.  Even though they had a positive preliminary economic analysis, the market shot them down another 20%.  Here I give a brief review of that report plus the link, not to toot my own horn.

I own RBY but intend to get BRD before doubling down on RBY.
