Bullish fundamental case for IAMGOLD (IAG) based on cheap gold-in-ground valuation, growing production/reserves, and long-term gold supply-demand tailwinds.
IAG — LONG The author argues IAMGOLD is among the cheapest gold miners, paying roughly $350/oz for Measured/Indicated gold in the ground versus over $1800/oz for peers like Agnico Eagle. The mechanism is rising produced ounces and reserves amid a rising gold price, supported by new Canadian mines (Cote/Gosselin already producing, Nelligan/Monster Lake in exploration) and the Westwood underground mine. Catalysts include long-term gold tailwinds from G20 currency printing, low supply from fewer large gold finds and flat ~3000 tons/year production since 2017, and central bank buying above 1000 tons/year since 2022. The main stated risk is navigating security issues at the Essakane open pit mine in Burkina Faso.
Dividing the fully diluted market cap by their Measured/Indicated only gold in the ground x last quarter's avg gold price $4000, yields a price of around $350 an oz one pays for owning their gold in the ground by buying their stock, other companies like Agnico Eagle is >$1800 an oz.
