Bullish on A2Gold, arguing its new VP of Exploration hire de-risks the upcoming 18,000-metre RC drill program at the Eastside project.
Unpriced research observations (excluded from Calls and Returns):
AUAU.V — LONG The author argues that A2Gold's hiring of John Marma as VP of Exploration is a game-changer because Marma was directly responsible for discoveries at Nevada's Midas Mine and brings senior exploration experience from Newmont and Hecla. That experience is directly relevant to A2Gold's flagship Eastside project, where the company is preparing an 18,000-metre RC drill program, and the author claims it significantly de-risks the campaign. The catalyst is the upcoming drill results; the author states the hire does not guarantee success. resolved_entity_name_mismatch
Hiring a VP of Exploration with this specific track record is one of the strongest operational moves they can make. It doesn't guarantee success, but it significantly de-risks their upcoming drill program.
