Caledonia Mining Share Discussion Threads

[joan of arc] 07/11/2018 16:22

Thanks SteMIS. I'm with IG and they are very bad about paying divis. I have had several problems with them before and a few more now.

[stemis] 07/11/2018 08:21

I received a dividend on 26 October

Gold export must be a good source of foreign currency so I don't see why CMCL can't use that to fund their requirements. It would be somewhat self defeating for the government to stop them doing that if it interfered with mining and production; last year CMCL paid $12m in taxes and royalties, plus the salaries and local purchases - all (directly or indirectly) in $.

[joan of arc] 06/11/2018 19:09

Another question. Has anyone not received their recent dividend?

[joan of arc] 06/11/2018 19:08

Well now we know a reason for the massive share price fall. the next question is how serious could this get?

[argoal] 05/11/2018 13:34

I've just put my toe in the water here with a modest 2K purchase.

In the absence of any news the fall looks very overdone. Buying in here fits my longer term strategy of having 10% of my portfolio in Gold or Gold mining stocks.

There is a lot that could go wrong here but with a yield of 6.5% plus a P/E under 4 it looks like there is a decent chance of this doubling or better.

If positive news comes up then I'll be happy to add again.

[stemis] 05/11/2018 10:59

Even for CMCL this share price weakness is odd. P/E now under 4

Relatively mild profit warning (15-20%) due to slightly weaker gold price and production coming in at lower end of forecast. Now on a heady P/E of 4.1 - 4.4, with net cash and dividend and on track to increase production by 45-50% (and therefore profit by more). Dividend yield is 4.4%.

Just going to sit here and wait.

Caledonia Mining (CMCL) News Out Just Now

[stemis] 20/9/2018 07:53

RNS:-

"total Measured and Indicated gold ounces at Blanket mine have increased by 13 per cent from 714,000 ounces, in August 2017, to 805,000 ounces, as at July 2018."

Caledonia just doing what they do; find more gold, increase production, generate cashflow, distribute it to shareholders.

[stemis] 31/8/2018 10:53

I've never been able to understand what drives the short term share price here, but as long as they keep banging out the profits and making progress towards their stated goal of 80,000 oz production I'm confident that, long term, the share price will end up much higher.

[joan of arc] 31/8/2018 10:11

Does anyone have an idea what is causing this price collapse?

[joan of arc] 24/8/2018 13:35

In that case it looks like a very very good deal.

[thechurch333] 24/8/2018 10:58

Looks a very good deal.

Remember Caledonia had written off the loan on their balance sheet.

Shares have fallen on minimal volume.

[joan of arc] 24/8/2018 10:44

To which the market shows no reaction!

[stemis] 24/8/2018 10:23

Caledonia acquire another 15% of Blanket Mine for $16.667m. Values mine at $111m (current market cap, including cash, is now $80m). Looks like a sensible move. Gives CMCL majority control of mine and most of consideration is cancellation of loan that was created when shares originally 'sold'.

[thecoyone] 20/8/2018 14:23

Might get back in here shortly.

[joan of arc] 20/8/2018 11:24

MM games or novices panicking? This will be back over 600p soon enough.

[stemis] 19/8/2018 20:44

The investment in new mine shaft has been known about for years and is fundamental to a step change in profitability here. It would be short terminism of the worst kind to use the cash for a few dividends.

[thecoyone] 19/8/2018 17:35

The new mine shaft is draining cash that could be used for both exploration and dividend increases.

They decided to deepen the shaft more than was initially implied, whilst this will eventually benefit future earnings it is eating into cash, the drop in the gold price does not help.

Then add into the mix the poor safety record at Blanket, is it 3 deaths now, I think so.

The political situation in Zimbabwe is muddled to say the least, not so positive as initially expected.

There is also a new kid on the block on AIM, a maiden dividend payer, namely Anglo Asian Mining (AAZ) that is quite literally throwing off cash. The prospective yield is closing in on 5%, earnings growth looks better over the next 24 months than CMCL.

I wonder if some investors are switching, I have.

[joan of arc] 19/8/2018 16:59

I saw the summary in Money Week. You are right SteMIS. Typical half baked analysis from IC.

[stemis] 19/8/2018 14:43

Sell recommendation in IC. Poor analysis but it'll have some impact at the edge.

[joan of arc] 17/8/2018 15:21

Price whacked again! Ouch.
