NEW GOLD $5.06

NEW GOLD $5.06 (Toronto symbol NGD; TSINetwork Rating: Speculative) (888-315-9715; www.newgold.com; Shares outstanding: 509.5 million; Market cap: $2.5 billion; No dividends paid) has moved up 43% since the start of the year on higher gold prices—and its strong operating performance.

New Gold has four mines: the Mesquite project in the U.S.; Cerro San Pedro in Mexico; the Peak mine in Australia; and the New Afton mine in B.C.

In the three months ended December 31, 2015, New Gold’s cash flow per share rose 7.1%, to $0.15 from $0.14 a year earlier. (All figures except share price and market cap in U.S. dollars.) Production rose 24.2% in the latest quarter, to 131,700 ounces from 106,000. That offset falling gold prices in 2015.

New Gold is now building a mine in Rainy River, Ontario; it aims to produce an average of 325,000 ounces of gold annually, starting in 2017.

Like most gold firms, New Gold’s shares will be heavily influenced by the direction of gold prices. Meanwhile, its positive cash flow and rising production give it speculative appeal.

New Gold is a buy for aggressive investors.
