The following was taken from the fool.


HI

My broker first advised me to get into this share a few days ago. He seems to think that the company can generate huge profits from its mines in cata preta. Let me try to explain why....

My brokers in house gold mining expert has worked out some very rough and ready figures on what hidefield could earn on the 130,000 ounces of gold that is KNOWN to be already there waiting to extact. So this is without the numerous other projects that hidefield has under its belt as well !!

My broker seems to think that hidefield can and will be a low cost producer. This is because the cata preta mines are not only already there and known about i.e mapped, but the whole complex has very easy access through its roads.

Apparently an average gold miner can extract gold at around $100 an ounce. Whereas a low cost producer can extact gold at around $30 an ounce. My broker thinks that hidefield could emulate the latter.

If you subtract the cost per ounce ( i.e $30 ) from the current price of gold ( i.e $400 ) it doesnt take alot of working out that there could be a profit to be had of $370 an ounce. WOW !!

TO work out what hidefield could earn per year, my broker has come up with this important research.....

To extact 130,000 ounces would take around eight years with modern machinery. So this would mean extacting around 16,000 ounces per year. Times this by $370 dollars an ounce and you have about $6 million profit. Putting it into sterling and remmembering that hidefield only has a fifty percent share in this project at the moment through its tie- up with brazilian diamonds and you have a profit before tax of 1,500,000.

So times this figure by ten ( which is very conservative ) and hidefield should have a market cap of atleast 15 million or a share price of about 15 pence, around double its current price.
And this is a conservative forecast !!

And it is totaly without the other projects that hidefield have up their sleeve as well !!

So, to put a price on the WHOLE of hidefield which would be very difficult indeed, but would probably mean a market cap of nearer 30 - 40 million ( meaning a share price of around 30 - 40 pence ). This compares favourably with the current share price of 7.5 pence and gives substantial upside potential. But it is a total guess I know, but I dont think this would be impossible.
To conclude, I feel very bullish about this share, but I in no way want to be accused of trying to ramp it !
These forecasts are only ' top of the head ' and could easily turn out to be wrong !

If anybody disagrees with me then let me hear the bear case for this company. Or indeed if anyone agrees with me, then all the better I say !!


cheers

see above guys, sve!!!!!

Amities / l didnt realise there was a thread for HIF .. l have had a position in HIF since it was 5.5p ..ln this instance .Based simply on following the big money .The massive positions taken by banks{ made through other fiscal instruments } , numerous institutions, and other PLCs @ this level during the course of 05 .Usually those boys await impending gold production before even showing any interest whatsoever.. After a little probing ,,,,,and you will find it highly productive,,,,Good management ,improved mining environment ,,with a prospect of almost 1 million oz of inexpensively mined gold ,,,,, and with gold @ $550 pto l think this is one of the very few mining microcaps which bears the hallmark of success.Unlike other mining smallcaps this willl be bourne out by its rising s/p ( which is more than be said for a plethora of mining stocks at a similar m/c level ...@ + J ...Certainly worth a look if you like making money ......@+ J..

JP Morgan, just upped their holding to 10%, some news maybe, set to move!

Initiation of Coverage

We Initiate Coverage With a Buy Recommendation

We have initiated coverage of Hidefield Gold with a Buy recommendation, based on the substantial near-term upside driven by the aggressive exploration programmes.We have calculated that the stock is presently worth c16.3p per share, calculated on a sum-of-the-parts basis. However, if the current programmes are successful, we expect to be revising this target upwards. Over the next few months, the Hidefield story will be driven principally by the release of drilling results from the East Santa Cruz gold project in Argentina, although other exploration projects in Alaska and Brazil should also contribute.

Hidefield Gold says additional high grade gold found at E Santa Cruz Argentina

...and yet more gold found near East Santa Cruz, this time averaging over 12g/t and reaching up to 36g/t. And this when gold is not far short of $700 per oz. Come on Hidefield!
