Altyn - pleasing Resources & Reserves upgrade, remains a gold recovery buy
Altyn (ALTN) “is pleased to announce the results of the latest Independent Competent Person’s Report for the Sekisovskoye Mine, which includes an important upgrade to its Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves estimates”…
Prepared by Ernst and Young Advisory Services, the report shows both increased and upgraded (to higher confidence ‘Proved’ and ‘Measured’ categories) Reserves and Resources, with a forecast NPV up from $238.6 million in 2014 to $415.4 million (at $1,321 gold) and “an exploration target of 1.74Moz - 22.79Mt at an average gold grade of 2.37g/t”. It sees Altyn CEO Aidar Assaubayev emphasising it “confirms the world class resources of Altyn. While the company is well positioned to capitalize on this base by growing production, it is still aiming at increasing its resources base further”.
The shares have responded positively, towards 0.70p – though capitalising the company at still sub £18 million. It still needs to show the production and cash flow can be delivered to justify this and a much higher valuation but it was recently loan approval follows interims, Sekisovskoye production ramp up ahoy – enhancing confidence.
With this latest looking to add further potential to materially improve on 2018’s 15,282 ounces of gold poured at an operating cash cost of $865 per ounce, we remain positive and, although the stock is significantly up from the summer, still a long-term gold recovery buy.
