IAMGOLD $2.90 – Toronto symbol IMG

IAMGOLD $2.90 (Toronto symbol IMG; TSINetwork Rating: Speculative) (1-888-464-9999; www.iamgold.com; Shares outstanding: 376.9 million; Market cap: $1.0 billion; No dividends paid) now holds over $800 million U.S. of cash and gold bullion after the sale of its Niobec niobium mine in Quebec’s Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region.

IAMGold received $500 million U.S. for the sale of Niobec. It will get another $30 million U.S. when an adjacent deposit of rare earth elements goes into production.

The company’s big cash and gold holding puts it in a strong position to pay down its long-term debt of $641 million U.S. It could also expand its existing gold projects, pay dividends, buy back shares or make timely acquisitions from distressed sellers at low prices.

IAMGold is still a buy.
