Technical Analyst Clive Maund rated the company as a “Strong Speculative Buy” for potential investors.

Rick Mills of Ahead of the Herd reported that gold had made slow but steady gains.

According to Mills, gold values have only risen by 6%, with the metal’s rise being stymied by a stronger dollar. However, Mills stated that “there is value to be had still, simply because gold, as an investment asset, can offer diversification in the long run.”

Technical Analyst Clive Maund rated the company as a “Strong Speculative Buy” for potential investors and commented that “buyers should not be surprised to see it zigzag around in this area for a little while before gaining upside traction, and it could drop a little lower short-term, although it could begin to recover immediately.”
