Serabi goes for growth

A near-doubling of high-grade gold production to 35,000 oz., combined with expense pruning to cut costs from more than $1,000 (£660) to between $900and $950 an ounce, is on the agenda for 2015 at AIM-quoted Serabi Gold (SNG), which is developing the Palito and Sao Chico gold projects in the remote Tapajos region of Para State in northern Brazil. Chief executive Mike Hodgson says Serabi, which is more than half-owned by Chile’s powerful Fratelli family, produced a disappointing 18,500 oz. last year from its Palito mine because of processing problems, but intends to lift that to 28,000 oz. in 2015, as well as obtaining first production of ‘6,000 to 7,000 oz.’ from Sao Chico, which is targeted to deliver its first commercial output from the middle of the year.

Serabi poised for full production

Mike Hodgson, chief executive officer of Serabi Gold (SRB), says he expects the AIM-quoted company to hoist gold production in northern Brazil’s Tapajos region from a disappointing maiden annual rate of 20,000 oz. to more than 35,000 oz. in the coming year, as its high-grade Sao Chico project starts to swell the quantity of gold now being extracted from its existing operation at Palito. Quoted on AIM and in Toronto and backed by Chile’s billionaire Solari business dynasty, Serabi has obtained a temporary trial mining licence for Sao Chico and must conduct what Hodgson describes as the equivalent of a pre-feasibility study to secure a permanent licence, which he anticipates ‘will be done and dusted by mid-2015.’

Serabi Gold moves into production

A Chilean retailing dynasty is helping AIM-quoted Serabi Gold (SRB) take two gold projects in northern Brazil into production. The target is to mine 24,000oz of gold this year and between 40,000oz and 45,000oz next. The anticipated costs are projected to fall from around the current expected $1,100/oz to nearer $850/oz. With gold trading at about $1,303/oz and looking fairly stable, this could provide investors with an intriguing opportunity to buy into this sector.

Serabi Gold: Higher Low Versus December Targets 7p Resistance

Even hedge fund genius Crispin Odey, who knows a thing or two about the financial markets, is happy to admit that one of his trading / investing triggers is the higher low to go long. Could Serabi Gold, therefore, be an attractive target for the multi billion asset manager’s attention?
