Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on Argonaut Gold including cash on hand, debt, production potential, exploration potential. Also insider holdings and recent trading. Its latest press releases seem to be at least a little upbeat but the stock continues to go lower. Maybe I am misreading them. Thanks.
Asked by Rob on November 09, 2023
5i Research Answer:

AR has $71.8M cash and $336M debt and other obligations (June 30). Insiders own 1.8% and have been net buyers over the last six months. AR came out with production guidance last week and noted full year production at the Magino Mine will not meet forecasts due to a slower ramp up. This is not unusual for a new mine. Exploration potential we would consider 'good' but it is hard to quantify as it depends on drilling. But certainly the company has enough targets identified. We will get more information with its results Nov 14. AR has experience no community, labour or other disruption issues that have plagued some peers. We would agree management 'sounds' a bit more optimistic. Getting commercial production from a new mine is always a good achievement.
