PVG - Pretium Resources: With Lower Expectations This Canadian Gold Producer May Be Worth A Look
- Pretium operates the high-grade Brucejack gold mine in Canada, producing 300,000-400,000 ounces per year and generating significant free cash flow.
- Unpredictable quarterly performance due to complex geology has led to big swings in the share price over the past few years.
- The erratic mine plan may be stabilizing after management has reset expectations at Brucejack with significantly lower grades, and a solid Q2 sent the shares up 25% in a day.
- A rare single-asset producer in a top jurisdiction makes Pretium a takeover target with gold near all-time highs.
- Suitors may be waiting to see how the next few quarters of production go before making a bid.
