Seeking Alpha – Yamana Gold: Poised For A Strong Finish In 2013

The Canada based gold miner, Yamana Gold (AUY), has one of the lowest cash costs in the industry and strong growth profile which makes it one of the most attractive investments in the gold industry. The company is looking at a strong finish to 2013 as production at Gualcamayo increases significantly and a number of other mines are also expected to ramp up for the final quarter. Production at Gualcamayo, one of the largest gold mines in Argentina and in the world, is expected to increase significantly as the company commences operations in Phase III and begins operations at QDD Lower West. AUY has one of the lowest cash costs in the industry and while staying in the lowest cost quartile the company is expected to grow production by 15% in 2014. Moreover, with an expected drop in development spending in 2014, AUY’s FCF performance should also improve next year.
