Gold Soars: Why Are Jr. Mining Stocks Left Behind?

In this interview at the Precious Metals Summit 2024, Marshall Koval, President & CEO and Director of Lumina Gold Corp. (TSXV: LUM, OTCQB: LMGDF), provides insights into the current gold market and Lumina Gold’s Cangrejos project in Ecuador. Koval begins by highlighting a notable disconnect between high gold prices and junior mining stock valuations, particularly for developers. This observation sets the stage for discussing Lumina Gold’s potential undervaluation.

Koval delves into the Cangrejos project economics, citing a pre-feasibility study that demonstrates robust financial metrics. The study shows a $2.2 billion NPV (at a 5% discount rate) and a 17% IRR, with Koval noting significant upside potential at current gold prices. These figures underscore the project’s economic viability and potential attractiveness to investors.

He provides an update on the progress of their feasibility study, a crucial step in de-risking the project and potentially closing the valuation gap. Looking ahead, Koval outlines key catalysts that investors should watch. These include upcoming metallurgical test results, which could further optimize the project’s economics, and ongoing negotiations with the Ecuadorian government.
