Not sure if there is any truth in this scenario, but AMI although a long way from its highs, seems to have turned in the correct diection.Management departures at Aurelia Metals have some pegging the Australian listed group as the next takeover target in the gold mining space.
The company’s market value is about $160m yet the net present value is about $400m which makes the company look like a bargain.
Analysts believe the most obvious buyer is fellow Australian listed gold miner Aeris Resources with a $373m market value. One of the reasons the company appears vulnerable is that it has lost key members of management.
Aurelia announced on November 18 that chief executive Dan Clifford was stepping down and that Andrew Graham was the interim boss under the mentorship of director and former St Barbara boss Bob Vassie. Recently, Martin Cummings was also appointed chief financial officer.
There is a theory that the company perhaps may even place itself up for sale as it continues to face pressure to return value to shareholders.
probly all the followers of BTL getting set.
Another mention for AMI last week in the BTL summary.Think I might risk another infrequent taster from 'Between the Lines Finance' on Patreon. He has three other videos this weekend: Gold, Macro and Miners update, Adriatic update, Centaurus commentary.
AMI Not Held
Well todays announcement answered that question.The quarterly results out look promising.
The cash flow waterfall says a lot.

the cash balance had a big increase , even after debt was paid down, plus they have effectively cancelled some of the long term "potential debt" facilities, this reducing financing costs.
Gold Lead and Zinc were all up.
They have drastically reduced their hedge book from 133k ounces own to 4k ounces.
Downside is the extremely high AISC of $2556.
They are going to need to have gold sales north of 3kAUD to get any traction.
Everything else is going in the right direction.
However, it will still require multiple quarters like this one and they will be able to fund Federation expansion without going to market.
