Investor Chronicle's view speaks volumes with HUM sat on P/book of 0.5 looks very cheap given outlook and growth prospects which will drive the 'Book' part of that up significantly so looking forward makes HUM very cheap indeed.
"Polymetal’s (POLY) forward price/book ratio is 3.3, although this is also well below its peak last year of over 4.5 times, while silver miner Fresnillo is at 2.4 times, down from 3.6 times. Hochschild Mining (HOC) is at a similar level to Barrick on this metric. Single-asset operators such as Centamin (CEY) and Hummingbird Resources (HUM) could be among those targeted in the next stage of consolidation – both trade cheaply, at 1.2 times and 0.5 times book value, respectively, but each one experienced production difficulties right as gold was soaring last year.
