New recommendation:
Miniscule company drilling on a hot
gold property in the former USSR,
where Russian geologists discovered
significant amounts of gold in the 1970s
Moreover, this property has the same geology as a neighboring
mine which already has $1.3 BILLION of gold.
But the property had never been explored using modern drilling
methods … until Kentor Gold started doing that last year. And assay
results are now showing one great gold intercept after another.
This is a classic, grass-roots exploration play. With a total market
value of only $7 million, Kentor is so small that a few positive drill hits
and assay results could send the shares up 2 or 3 fold. And if Kentor
uncovers as much gold on its property as there is in the mine right
next door, then we think you stand to earn up to 20 times your initial
investment in the long-term.
Dear Subscriber:
Kentor Gold is an Australian exploration company with extensive gold
and base metal exploration permits in the former Soviet Socialist Republic
of Kyrgyzstan, in Central Asia. Its business model is very similar to
another recent recommendation of ours, Lero Gold, which went back through
the rich, Soviet-era geological archives, looking for promising old
minerals discoveries that were never developed by the Russians.
Kentor has a Russian-speaking management team based full-time in the
Kyrgyz capital Bishkek, and enjoys a cordial relationship with the Kyrgyz
government. The company has full access to all the old Soviet geological
1
archives for the country, and based on what they're uncovering, they've
been pegging some of the best mining claims in the country for further
exploration. Already they have secured five highly-promising prospecting
licences in the Kyrgyz Republic.
Kentor's main focus at the present time is the Savoyardy gold
discovery that the Soviets made back in the 1970s. The property is located
in the prolific Tian Shan Gold Belt which hosts numerous world-class gold
deposits including Newmont’s Muruntau mine (140 million ounces of gold) and
Centerra’s Kumtor mine (14 million ounces).
Simple soil samples and trenching done by the Soviet geologists in
the 1970s already show there is significant amounts of gold there, with
high grades of up to 30 grams per ton of gold. To put this into
perspective, there are many profitable underground gold mines with grades
of only 5 grams per ton or less.
But until Kentor started exploration drilling last year the Savoyardy
property had never been explored using modern drilling methods.
So far Kentor has completed over 3,200 feet of drilling. The assay
results the company released based on this drilling so far showed one great
gold intercept after another. They confirmed, and even surpassed, the
results achieved by the Soviets 30 years ago.
Highlights included wide intercepts of up to 49 feet with a gold
grade of over 14 grams per ton. This means that there is a high
concentration of gold per ton of rock AND it stretches over a significant
vertical distance below ground. Moreover, some intercepts showed gold
grades of up to 44 grams per ton.
Looking ahead to the next round of drilling, Kentor has just finished
rehabilitating some of the old underground tunnels dug by the Soviets on
the Savoyardy property. This will allow Kentor to conduct exploration
drilling from underground, as well as from the surface.
That's important since the weather conditions in this part of the
world are extremely harsh most of the year round, and limit surface
drilling to a rather short summer drilling season. By doing exploration
from underground, Kentor can now do year-round exploration on the Savoyardy
property, greatly speeding up the process of compiling a geological
estimate of the amount of gold the Savorady property contains
But what really makes the potential of the Savoryardy property
exciting to me is that ...
Kentor’s property is just 5 miles away from Majestic Gold’s
Sawayerdun Project, which contains at least
1.5 million ounces of gold
Canadian exploration company Majestic Gold’s Sawayerdun Project is
only 5 miles away to the southwest, just over the border from Savoyardy, on
2
the Chinese side.
To date, Majestic has done enough drilling to satisfy their
geologists that there is at least 1.5 million ounces of gold on their
exploration lease, and further exploration to try and increase that number
is continuing. Based on the data gathered from both Kentor and Majestic’s
exploration activities, the two discoveries are very likely part of one and
the same orebody that flows from the north (Kentor’s property) and goes
down southwest, across the border, to Majestic’s property on the Chinese
side.
Moreover, both properties have almost the same size. Majestic’s
Sawayerdun project comprises 47 square miles, while Kentor’s Savoyardy
property covers an area of more than 48 square miles.
Based on the existing drill results, and the similarity of the
geology, we think there is great potential for Kentor to find just as much
gold as Majestic, or even more.
And what really gets us salivating is that Kentor's market cap is
only a puny A$7.6 million (US$7.1 million). In fact, that's not just puny.
It's derisory -- an insult to the company's management.
Double or even triple your initial investment in Kentor on
good drill results; and make up to 20 times your money if Kentor
finds as much gold as its near neighbors mine
The time to buy shares in Kentor is right now. Two rigs have just
started on the next phase of the company's exploration program -- drilling
a total of nearly 15,000 feet at Savoyardy. The first batch of drill core
will be in the lab by late this month. And, given Kentor’s good
relationship with a world-class lab, it expects to get the assay results
back as early as next month.
With a puny market cap of just $7.1 million, and a steady stream of
strong assay results likely, we think that you could double or even triple
your initial investment in the short-to medium term, based on the drilling
news flow alone.
But if -- as we expect -- Kentor’s Savoyardy project yields a similar
amount of gold to Majestic’s 1.5 million ounces (so far) just across the
Chinese border, making 2 or 3 times your money will just be the start.
That much gold is worth $1.3 BILLION at today’s market prices -- over 170
times Kentor’s present market cap!
Even at a super conservative valuation of just $50 per ounce of gold
in the ground, that much gold would be over 9 times Kentor’s current market
cap. And at a valuation of $100 per ounce of gold in the ground, you'd be
looking at almost 20 times your money!
Added bonus: Potential for more gold or base metals discoveries
from four other promising properties in Kyrgyzstan
3
Besides Savoyardy, Kentor has nailed down exploration rights on four
more promising properties in Kyrgyzstan, too. The most advanced is Akbel,
which is right next to the world-class Kumtor gold mine (6 million ounces).
Kentor also has the license to explore the nearby Bashkol gold and uranium
prospects which could be as rich as Akbel, but are still largely
unexplored.
And, there’s the Chaarkuduk and the Kurgan exploration licences which
are prospective for base and precious metals such as lead, zinc, copper,
gold, silver, and uranium.
All these properties were hand-picked by Kentor as properties with
some of the best potential, based on the archived data from Soviet-era
minerals discoveries.
Positive assay results in the future from an eventual successful
drill-hit at Akbel, or any of Kentor’s other projects would just be gravy
on top of Savoyardy.
Call your broker and buy some shares in Kentor Gold now while
drilling is still underway and the shares remain dirt cheap.
Kentor Gold’s stock trades on the Australian Stock Exchange under the
symbol KGL. Shares closed at A$0.11 ($0.10) Wednesday. The shares also
trade on the US OTC market under the symbol KGOLF. We recommend that you
buy the Australian-listed shares because they are more actively traded.
That should allow you to get in (and out) at a better price.
