Kingsgate Could Reap Windfall From Selling Nueva Esperanza Project -- Market Talk

0033 GMT - Now could be a good time for Kingsgate Consolidated to sell its Nueva Esperanza silver project in Chile, Canaccord Genuity suggests. That's because silver prices have surged 30% so far this year. Nueva Esperanza has a resource of 134 million oz of silver, grading at 106 grams per ton of ore. "Should the project be divested, we think this could be a windfall and valuation catalyst for Kingsgate," analyst Reg Spencer says. It points to Andean Silver as a potential benchmark for valuing the project. Andean Silver, with a market value of A$232 million, owns the Cerro Bayo project in Chile that has a resource of 120 million oz of silver. "While Cerro Bayo is more advanced with established infrastructure, we think it could provide a valuation yardstick for any divestment by Kingsgate," Canaccord says.
