sorry that I wasn't mentioned by its maybe as I am not a KGI investor at present though not ruled out.I've almost completed a re think and re jig.I began with my original watch list of companies,These had already been sifted down by-
1. must be producers
2. not Russian,Middle-East or around that area
3. must be UK registered
this resulted in a list-AVM,AAZ,AGD,CRND,FRES,GDP,HOC,KGI,MIRL,OMI,PGD,RRS,SHG,AMA,ABG..
I then did a further sift-
must not have excessive all-in costs or cash costs,not having worrying sounding debts or low mine life,production must be reasonably substantial no stoppages,etc
FRES stoppages,large gold production drops,AAZ too high costs,CRND low production,GDP profits warning,PGD very small production,SHG ditto,AVM still has debt worries plus low mine life,AMA low production though very high reserves -these were quite easy to eliminate.And yes also took out KGI still much too high costs though it is a share I quite like and I've said that often.The hardest one was MIRL which has risen 45% this year the most on my list.However even with very low costs it is a very small producer now,so it might be a bit overbought for now ?
This left-AGD,HOC,OMI,RRS and ABG which is my present working list not having obvious things to frighten the horses- hope you might find that useful,of course I read all the company sites before deciding.Research will continue.GL.
