Investigator Resources - a home grown silver play back in focus
The overseas markets continued to be strong with the 25 basis point cuts in interest rates last week. All of the international conflicts show no sign of resolution but the markets are immune to what is going to continue, predictably. More of the same is not disruptive to expectations. The gold price keeps rising and sentiment is improving further amongst the stocks under coverage.
However, the Australia markets were softer. Maybe it was a profit taking mode. Maybe it was because of so much focus on climate change policy from a Federal Government that is floundering and unconvincing. Maybe it is because of the failure of the Opposition to show any alternative direction as it deals with internal disruption that doesn't augur well for the leader.
Australia has a shortage of ASX-listed silver plays. Invariably the contenders are really lead or base metal plays with a strong silver credit. We don’t seem to have the right geology for the sort of high grade silver deposits in the Americas, but at least ours are in a safer jurisdiction. One company that has been touted as a silver play in South Australia for a long time is Investigator resources. The late Dave Ransom was an Investigator Resources enthusiast and his opinions always carried gravitas, but the Company never quite made it to the finish line. With the appointment of a can-do mining engineer as CEO, this time it might be different. We assess the modern merits in this Weekly.
