5 Jr. Miners Trading At Less Than $110/oz.
Sean Mason, SmallCapPower.com | May 27, 2015 10:13AM ET
A Gold producer is often valued based on the Net Asset Value of its operations. In other words, an investor needs to value the company’s assets (reserves) and subtract its liabilities. Its future resource production is estimated based on current reserve levels, and it is used in accordance with projected gold prices to calculate future cash flows. With the current price of gold trading at the US$1,200 an ounce level, it is relatively hard to understand why certain companies trade at $100/ounce. Regardless, the five gold juniors on this list are being valued by the market at a substantial discount to its ounces in ground.
