It is tempting to buy some WGX shares for a trade, but at present this looks like a falling knife with almost 50% of the trades being shorts and GDXJ portfolio rebalancing happening (GDXJ is to sell down some of its shares understand) around the same time as the US FED is raising rates.

I think Cookie lost it a bit when he decided to start the mill at Fortnum. The plan there is only to produce 60-75k ounces pa with an average grade of 2.4 g/t from open pit and underground mines. They should have left this project alone until they had the other mines operating profitably. They have too many balls in the air with 6 pits and 6 underground mines going concurrently at an early stage of their life.

The only good thing I have found is that the annual accounts had a positive surprise. The quarterly report indicated that they only had about $56.5m in cash but the annual accounts indicates its much higher at $73.4m. I suppose that is why Cookie has not yet made a move to raise cash via an asset sale or whatever.

I might have a dabble if the share price gets closer to $1.00. But its hard to see any major turnaround until as you say they have the mining sorted out, or perhaps the AUD POG does a runner.
