  • This gold miner presents an attractive profile for long-term investment, and I qualify the company as a "keeper."

Investment Thesis

Vancouver-based gold miner B2Gold Corp. (BTG) is an attractive gold miner with some real long-term potential that I consider quite cheap, which is more and more uncommon in the gold sector.

It has a robust project pipeline for the next five years, and the company's assets are well-diversified, as we can see on the map below.

However, Fekola, which is the flagship mine for B2Gold, is located in Mali, and it is not without risk (Government corruption and inefficiency, extremism).

This gold miner presents an attractive profile for long-term investment, and I qualify the company as a "keeper."

However, while B2Gold can be considered as a long-term investment, it is crucial to trade continuously about 30% of your position short term to profit plainly from the volatility inherent to the gold industry and the risk of an operational hiccup that always comes at a surprise.

The company is producing gold from five different mines spread around the world. It is involved with one development and one exploration project as well (a joint venture in Colombia with AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU) called Gramalote and Kiaka/Toega in Burkina Faso).

However, on July 3, 2019, the company announced that:

sell two gold mines and assets in Nicaragua to Calibre Mining Corp. for $100 million and ~31% direct equity interest in Calibre. The two concerned gold mines are the El Limon and La Libertad Gold Mines, which B2Gold had acquired in 2009. The deal also includes the Pavon gold project and additional mineral concessions in Nicaragua currently held by B2Gold.

The deal was completed on October 15, 2019. B2Gold holds 93.332 million shares in Calibre Mining, representing approximately 30.08% stake.

These two mines indicated above produced 44,922 Au Oz in 3Q'19.

So far, BTG has slightly underperformed the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX)
