Signature Metals is a gold explorer and soon to be producer in Ghana, West Africa.
We are seeing buyer demand building at present as speculators take a position. There seems to be a solid support at 2.9c
This small gold company is on world class assets and are currently refurbishing an existing plant at low cost and have an exploration program in place which could significantly increase reserves.
First production is meant to be occuring very soon after some small delays and they aim to be a +100,000oz producer with a cash cost of $650 per oz.
They have cash in the bank after a recent capital raising and have existing infrastructure in place (roads, accommodation, power)
In short this is a speculative gold producer that may deleiver significant upside if everything goes according to plan.
