YAMANA GOLD $4.38 – Toronto symbol YRI

YAMANA GOLD $4.38 (Toronto symbol YRI; TSINetwork Rating: Speculative)(416-815-0220; www.- yamana.com; Shares outstanding: 880.8 million; Market cap: $3.9 billion; Dividend yield: 1.6%) owns eight operating gold mines in Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Argentina. It also holds a 12.5% stake in the Alumbrera copper/gold mine in Argentina and has a number of other properties in advanced stages of development.

Yamana now plans to form a subsidiary to hold some of its Brazilian assets. This will let the company focus on its main projects, including the Canadian Malartic gold mine in Quebec, in which it owns a 50% stake.

The new subsidiary, to be named Brio Gold Inc., will hold Yamana’s Fazenda Brasileiro and Pilar gold mines, as well as its C1 Santa Luz development project. Yamana will retain its Chapada and Jacobina mines in Brazil.

Brio Gold’s management team will consist of former executives of Augusta Resource Corp., which Hudbay Minerals took over earlier this year.

Yamana Gold is still a buy for aggressive investors.
