Market Call Tonight

During the BNN program Market Call Tonight, the editor of Exploration Insight Brent Cook gave a comprehensive overview on “Junior Mining Stocks and Commodities” by answering questions of current and potential investors in mining shares.

According to Brent Cook big mining investments should be avoided in countries such as Russia, Mongolia, Venezuela and Ecuador due to the high risk of instability and corruption. He mentioned, for example that exploration projects with Russian ownership could be a very risky investment due to the involvement of the Russian Mafia.

However, he believes that places such as Canada, Mexico, Latin America, Angola and Eritrea are countries that are good to invest in due to the reliable actions taken by the governments in recent years. In respect to Eritrea he says, “I would definitely put money in Eritrea, I have been there a couple of times and talked to the government and they are under control“.

One viewer and investor asked Brent Cook on his thoughts about Nevsun Resources and their mining business in Eritrea. His reply was that the Bisha Mine is a fantastic deposit with a high grade gold cap they will mine and make a lot of money. He underlines that Nevsun Resoureces is a good company with a good deposit in a good country, which has its financing completed.

Brent Cook’s view can be supported by other analysts who say that at current metal prices, the Project is expected to generate enough cash in the first two and a half years to repay all debt facilities, in addition to further mine expansion. The Bisha Mine will be a low-cost gold producer for the first two years and a low-cost, high-grade copper and zinc producer for the remaining 10 year mine life. Further resource potential exists at depth and from nearby discoveries within the Company’s licensed areas.

For the next 12 months experts believe that the share price of Nevsun could go up to $2.56 or even $3.50, although Brent Cook thinks that the share price will be in the range of $2.50 in the next 12 months.
