LGL - Lihir Gold

I actually thought the same, however they are claiming a 9Moz potential. what do you make of that?

I really hope there is 9m in there but I reckon 9m is a complete pluck.

BGF don't know how much is in there due to the 'nuggety' nature of the mineralisation. It could be anything between 1.3 and 20 m for all anyone knows.

Now, 20m would be nice!

I wouldn't be surprised if LHG buy something else shortly. With the cash they are now generating they have the potential to become a multi mine company. Hopefully they pick something I already own next time. :)

well i think LHG made the wrong decision in picking BGF, it prove very costly to them :(
Costly in what way?

No further financial details are available, unless you're talkign about the share price - and I dare say executives don't make such large decisions based on the ST share price.
 
Re: LHG - Lihir Gold

I've got a gut feeling (very well researched and qualified opinion) that LHG is going to turn the corner shortly. I think the market is starting to factor in a lower $US after the US mid term elections which (in theory) will result in a stronger gold price. I've been reading a few reports around saying this is going to happen, and therefore, of course, will. Maybe. :)

LHG has been bouncing from support and resistance lines over the past 6 months with each time it hits the BB on either side bounces off. It's just hit the bottom, plus the 200d MA, plus is on a significant support line. Even with the (what I think) negativities surrounding the BGF bail out, I reckon it's going to bounce up, and by the time it is getting to the next resistance level, it'll be around the time POG should be rising in response to $US sell off. This will be the catalyst to send LHG though previous resistance and on to all time highs in Dec/Jan.

Well, that's my attempt to be Yogi. I don't normally like putting time frames on things, but I've just got this feeling.........he, he.

Re: LHG - Lihir Gold

The biggest drawback that faces Lihir is its management. Despite this I will continue to hold as the market just seems to love this stock when POG moves, plus I think there is still a chance of a takeover.
 
Re: LHG - Lihir Gold

Good ann from LHG this am. Possibly the first time they haven't come out with some bad news.....market should like that. Gold up $6.00 too should see it up a few % I reckon.

I thought it was because they were confirming a lot of previous guidance, which they normally don't do. Normally, they say problem 1, problem 2, etc resulting in lower output. By what they said I thought it was all good, but by the reports I've read on the ann since, seems it's not so good. sp down accordingly.

The base chart is free, with the basic indicators. (macd, volume, etc) To draw on it you need to save it as a giff file and then open with paint. Draw on the chart and then save as giff again, then post onto the site.

Wouldn't it be a whole lot easier to go out and get some charting software Kennas? Doing what you've just described must take an awful long time!

Probably. I like doing it though. It's fun. :)

Doesn't take me too long now. Makes me look at the charts more critically too.
 
Re: LHG - Lihir Gold

Fat Prophets came out with a buy on this last night, but UBS downgraded them.

0850 [Dow Jones]STOCK CALL: UBS downgrades Lihir Gold (LHG.AU) to neutral from buy on lower production and rising costs. UBS slashes FY06 earnings forecast by 43% on lower production and FY07 and FY08 by 18% on lower gold forecasts. Says lowering of production forecast could halt the momentum the company has gained from finally meeting targets. "We do not expect to see Lihir outperform its gold peers in the near term," UBS says. Reduces price target to A$3.40 from A$3.80. (APW)

Still price target $3.40 v current $2.75. Enough room for me.

LHG hitting 200d ma, which indicates a reason to top up. Still sitting on pretty strong support line with not too much down side if gold stays steady. Resistance a bit choppy/mixed. Can't see a real downward trend now, although my eyes might be biased. :)

Re: LHG - Lihir Gold

Hi Guys,

Bit of a Green question...

Even though gold is up, which has been some time since last this high, will the dow being down near 50pts hold lhg back and moreso the xjo dragging lhg down.

I have seen both seneraios played out with opposite outcomes, hence my q.


Thanks
