Comment
I first met CEO Tara Christie at an online virtual conference, and my main interest was simply that I held shares in their close neighbour, Alexco Resources, if I’m honest.
I listened to the presentation, it was a bit early stage for my focus, and I decided to put the stock on the watchlist.
At subsequent conferences, I often noticed the company down to present, and sooner or later I would receive an invitation from Tara to another meeting, which I accepted out of courtesy, as I had already met her, and to monitor Banyan’s progress.
A couple of months ago I received yet another invitation from Tara, which of course I accepted as usual.
Upon speaking to her I realised that the story has now advanced to the stage where the investment case now looks fairly compelling, both for the low valuation, and exploration potential, and I found myself writing “buy” in my notebook.
Banyan are discovering gold at a very low cost per ounce, are very prudently run, and ticking all the right boxes.
If Banyan continue to grow their projects to their obvious potential, they look ripe for an M & A event at some point, especially when you consider who their near neighbours are.
