Growth Focus: SILVER LAKE RESOURCES LTD (SLR)
The primary focus is capital gain - stocks are selected from the ASX Top 500 All Ordinaries Index.
Recent strength has returned the shine to Silver Lake Resources as the newly expanded gold producer and explorer looks to continue its recovery track higher on the back of robust performance and glittering forecasts.
Silver Lake listed on to the ASX in late-2007 and remains a gold producer and explorer based in Western Australia, with three mining centers feeding a central mill at its Mount Monger asset. The focus in recent years has been increasing production and high-grade feed while investing in expansion and exploration. This approach has worked well with the company increasing the life of mine in its core assets while eliminating debt and increasing cash balance.
The ability for Silver Lake to increase assets organically has been significantly boosted with the merger with Doray Minerals last month, transforming the entity into a mid-tier operator with complementary operations in WA. The stated focus will initially be in maximising the value of established assets (reporting showed year on year growth of Ore Reserves up 13% and Measured and Indicated Resources up 37%) while also running an active acquisition strategy with plenty of scope for expansion.
Strong fundamental performance has been key to recent strength with increasing sales, margins and profits being seen since 2016, and forecasting shows this trend is expected to stay positive through to 2021. The favourable view is matched by positive analyst sentiment and rising consensus price targets, with valuations increasing in front of price for much of the last two years, and currently offers an attractive discount today's pricing.
Silver Lake enjoyed some good timing by floating on the ASX just prior to the gold-run sparked when the GFC began just a few months later and has since shown a tendency to move up and own in large multi-year trends. With a greater recovery rally underway, the immense price swings that followed the boom and bust of the gold market from 2007-2013 provide key resistance targets for the current uptrend that should have further to go.
Right now we see important resistance barriers being broken as the stock rallied up to current levels, and we think there should be plenty of potential upside remaining for continued outperformance. Strong fundamental expectations combine well with an excellent technical profile showing growing momentum across multiple key timeframes, all of which should add to the current silver-lining.
