True Gold Mining Inc (TGM-V)
| Riverstone Resources, led by CEO Dwayne Melrose, is focused on its flagship Karma gold project in Burkina Faso which is comprised of four exploration permits. A May 2009 resource estimate for the Karma properties described a cumulative indicated resource of 21 million tonnes grading 1.2 grams per tonne gold for 825,000 ounces, and inferred resource of 12 million tonnes grading .82 grams per tonne for an additional 321, 000 ounces. In January 2012 the resource was updated to 54 million tonnes indicated grading 1.02 g/t Au (1.77 million ounces) and 37 million inferred tonnes grading 0.80 g/t Au (958,000 ounces.) Riverstone holds additional properties in Burkina Faso as well, with the entire portfolio representing over 2,300 square kilometers in 13 exploration licenses. |
Key to Understanding IPV Charts and Spec Value Hunter Tables
| An IPV Chart is a graphical presentation of a Spec Value Hunter table that has been constructed according to the Rational Speculation Model developed by John Kaiser. The IPV Chart allows speculators to identify which projects offer poor, fair or good speculative value in both absolute and relative terms. The speculative value depends on the project stage, the project's implied value as calculated by the company's fully diluted capitalization, stock price and net project interest, and the dream target deemed appropriate for the project. A dream target is what a project would be worth in discounted cash flow terms once in production. |
| Green background indicates the dream target judged appropriate for this play by John Kaiser - otherwise unranked. |
Poor Speculative Value -   |
Fair Speculative Value -  |
Good Speculative Value -   |
| Note: narrow arrows indicate IPV is outside the fair value channel but within 25% of the fair value limits |
