RE:Stock Market - Mining Stocks
Firecracker, I took a look at Orvana, and it looks like a loser to me. It has been losing money forever. Its El Valle underground mine in Spain has an ALSC of $1759. That is pretty darn high. I am not sure why they even keep that mine open. The Don Marion mine in Bolivia has more promise, but only if they dump the loser in Spain.
I first looked at Orvana in 2010 when the stock was trading at $2.56. When they said they were converting the open pit mine in Spain to underground, I immediatly decided to pass. The costs of an underground mine are usually much higer than expected. I am sure glad I avoided that one.
