HGM is nearly at the bottom of the list when it comes to the percentage rise in the share price for this year of precious metal miners. Average rise would give HGM a share price of 350p/370p. Therefore a take over at 400p would of been a fair price at the moment.

Re 17154: I just read all RNS's in full.

Clearly the Russian oligarchs want to take HGM private to get the best part of the rise in the price of gold and opening of Kekura for themselves.

In a couple of years time could have easily been looking at a 500p share price with a 30p yearly dividend.

Fortiana - "The Offer provides Highland Gold Shareholders with an opportunity to crystallize the value of their Highland Gold Shares for cash at an attractive premium, providing a liquidity event for Highland Gold's shareholders."

"Fortiana considers the terms of the Offer to be attractive for Highland Gold's shareholders representing a premium of approximately:

-- 4 per cent. to the Closing Price per Highland Gold Share of GBP2.89 on 30 July 2020 (being the last practicable date prior to the date of this Announcement).

"Fortiana believes that such a premium is in line with other recent premia paid in precedent transactions in the mining sector."



"The Highland Gold Independent Directors understand that the Selling Shareholders have been exploring a number of options and have concluded that the Offer represents an attractive price for them to exit." - Sounds to me possibly the directors have another mining project they wish to put the money they had in HGM into. On the whole Russian oligarchs tend to think short term for maximum gain rather then in for the long term investment.



"There are risks in the Highland Gold Group's development of its Kekura site, which remains several years away from commercial production" -??? I thought Kekura was only 18 months away from commercial production, not several years.



"Given the significant impact of the gold price on the Highland Gold share price, the Highland Gold Independent Directors would note that, if Independent Highland Gold Shareholders have a view of future gold prices that is meaningfully higher than the current consensus forecasts, the Offer may be relatively less attractive to them."

It is obviously in ones face what is going on.

Just as the good times are upon the company, price of gold rising and is expected to continue to rise and with 170oz Kekura mine soon to come in to production HGM has been taken private at a knocked down price.

Once Kekura is on line HGM is worth 500p per share and would have been paying c30p in dividends per year.

Russian oligarchs are as greedy as they come, just look what happened with TNK/BP.

Don't worry HGM directors and Mr A will be getting a lot more out of the sale of HGM shares then may first appear on the surface.

I can complain even though I've made c6 1/2 x my original investment I made around 5 years ago = each year I've made over 100% return on my investment.

These constant AT trades on the bid is obvious a move to
lower hgm share price, for goodness sake, 77 shares and the
market capitalisation of a £700m company changes.

Really.

Gold miners glitter as spot price nears 9-year high.

Gold miners’ share prices are soaring with the value of the precious metal, while increased dividends are helping push these stocks higher still.

The spot price of gold has risen 17 per cent so far this year and is closing in on $1,800 an ounce for the first time in nine years. The commodity, commonly treated as a reliable store of value by investors, has benefited from nerves over the spread of Covid-19 and the outlook for global trade — and rock-bottom yields available on other haven assets.

Gold stocks have done even better, however, up 23 per cent this year as measured by the NYSE Arca Gold Miners index. Standout performers include Canada’s Kinross Gold and Barrick Gold, and US-based Newmont Corporation, all up at least 40 per cent so far in 2020.

The primary market is also vibrant. Recent share sales by South Africa’s Harmony Gold and Polymetal, a London-listed miner with assets in Russia and Kazakhstan, were completed in double-quick time, with the books covered in 20 minutes, according to bankers working on the deals.

“Macroeconomics is playing a part: gold has reasserted its status as a safe asset,” said one banker involved in the $200m Harmony deal. Given the favourable backdrop for gold — safe instruments such as US government bonds are effectively paying investors a negative return — analysts and sector specialists reckon gold and gold-related equities have further to run.

“With swelling central bank balance sheets, and rates in the US and most major developed economies close to or below zero, we see the macro backdrop as supportive,” said James Bell, analyst at RBC Capital Markets, in a recent report.

At the same time, big producers have also started to crank up returns to shareholders. The total per-share dividend of the five biggest gold miners has risen from $1.50 in 2015 to $3.20 in 2019, according to UK-based asset manager Ninety One.

Bullish fund managers think there is further to go. George Cheveley, a fund manager at Ninety One, said the outperformance “isn’t substantial when you consider the tailwind” from lower oil prices and weaker currencies in producer countries, compared with markets where the metal is sold. “We would expect them to do even better and deliver strong returns.”

Last year, “all-in” margins — which include exploration and other general and administrative costs — for a group of big gold producers tracked by RBC exceeded 10 per cent for the first time since 2012. Mr Bell thinks the miners can achieve 20 per cent this year on this metric.

The banker on the Harmony deal said investors were attracted by the stock’s higher “leverage̶1; to rising prices than can be gained from gold-tracking exchange traded funds. The idea is that a higher gold price on a fixed cost base can drive up corporate profits quickly.

A quick check on goldprice.org shows gold in USD at the start of 2020 @1,520 and an average price for the first 6 months of circa 1,650 - roughly a 8.5% higher than the start of the yr

However HGM sell their gold in RUB

Start of the year 95,000
Average for H1 117,000 roughly 23% higher than the start of the year

H1 2019 average gold price in RUB was circa 85,000, so they are selling their gold at 37.5% higher prices for H1 in 2020

That just about doubles EPS for H1 2020 vs H1 2019 by my rough calcs

H1 results out on 1st Sept

:-)

If the EPS doubles, why should the share price not? July last yr was £2+ this gives a target of £4

I have not adjusted for RUB to GBP exchange rate - anyone is welcome to correct my figures

So the HGM share price has a habit of falling when some other gold miners are rising. OK this is because there are more sellers than buyers, which tells us very little indeed. POG, by contrast, has been racing ahead. Some have suggested this is because of the different prospects of the two companies. I won't go into POG's prospects here, but what of HGM's prospects? Are they so poor? Is there so little to look forward to?

Let's look at two of HGM's projects, Novoshirokinskoye (Novo) and Kekura. Novo currently processes 800,000 tpa and produced 106,784 ounces of gold in 2019. They are working to expand the mine to 1.3 million tpa, a 62% increase. That should yield an additional 65,720 ounces pa. That is surely a matter of great interest. The grade here is 4.9 g/t, resulting in total cash costs of US$391/ounce. Very profitable figures.

Moving on to Kekura. In 2023 HGM will make their large Kekura deposit into a producing mine. For 8 years it will produce 172,000 ounces of gold pa, at the high grade of 8.7 g/t. This will be an extremely profitable mine.

And the company has other projects. To return to the question of the share price, the prospects for HGM are surely very good. So either investors don't know about them (although the information is set out very clearly on the company's website), or a couple of years is too long to wait. I, for one, am prepared to wait and accept the very handsome dividends in the meantime.

Last time gold was in the mid 1750s some weeks ago, HGM was at £2.80 - currently we are £2.35 - some catching up to do here.

The HGM share price is scammed all the time by the AT trades.
Someone, probably some Hedge Fund is manipulating the share price
