Gold Stocks To Watch: IMC International Mining Stock
Shares of IMC International Mining (IMCX Stock Report) (IMIMF) have taken off this week. It came on the heels of big progress updates from the company. Earlier this week, IMC International announced two big developments in the same announcement.
First, the company reported that it signed a letter of intent to acquire Thane Minerals Inc. According to the company, Thane owns 100% interest in the Cathedral property in north-central British Columbia. Brian Thurston, CEO & President of IMC stated, “The acquisition of the Cathedral Project gives the Company an opportunity to explore in one of British Columbia’s top mining districts.”
Furthermore, the company brought on industry veteran Greg Hawkins who’s been involved in the industry since 1969. He is currently a Director of New Pacific Metals Corp. (NUAG Stock Report) and was the Founding Project Consultant and/or Founding Director of seven public and private Exploration/Development ventures. Many of these ventures resulted in big acquisitions by larger mining companies.
Gold Stocks To Watch: Yamana Gold Stock
The next company on this list of gold stocks to watch is Yamana gold stock (AUY Stock Report). The company revealed its fourth quarter and full-year 2019 results this week. These included gold and silver production of 221,595 ounces and 2.97 million ounces respectively. Furthermore, the company reported that gold and silver production exceeded production guidance for the year.
While costs were in line with expectations, the company did miss the mark on sales. Wall Street estimates expected $461.98 million while Yamana reported $383.8 million. While this figure doesn’t appear to have dramatically shifted sentiment it is something of note.
