BPM is an attractive buy for investors mainly because it is a producing mine. The investor will always be more interested in a company that is actually making money rather than using it like 90% of the exploration companies out there. However the main issue is that the BPM unlike conventional methods of getting into production, the company had the tailings pond and mill built before they had a healthy resource estimation. It seems to me that BPM is really struggling in that department. Therefore it would be interesting to see how much exploration work is being carried out and how much of it is being carried out underground. With a region known for gold mineralization there should be no reason for not building a good resource every year, the question is what are they doing to get that done.
The biggest factor as an investor is, yes this is an attractive buy because BPM is pouring bars. However as an investor I want to see that the company is actively seeking to become bigger and move up from a junior to a med size market cap company. BPM has one property from what I have seen on the website and there isn't any indication that they have other properties or looking for them. Actively seeking to find the next "Big" deposit tells me that management is serious about moving this company forward. Plus if you have multiple exploration properties, its something to fall back on if the Bralorne Project doesn't pan out or is lagging in its development.
As an aside, the marketing and business development of this company is poorly managed, from what I've seen in the recent period will all the mistakes they've made, it makes you wonder if the CEO has things under control and if he is pushing the company in the right direction.
When you are a junior, mistakes are a lot more unforgiven in the public eye, especially when you have nothing to fall back on....
