The gold price has been all over the place and so have the share prices of Australia's gold producers. AurionGold has been one of the hardest hit. Until 29 July, Canadian-based Placer Dome was making a scrip-only bid for AurionGold. So while the currency and gold price have been swinging around, so has the share price of Placer and, therefore, the value of AurionGold. But Placer has now offered an extra 35 cents in cash per AurionGold share. With the company struggling to attract another bidder and Placer making its offer unconditional, it's tough to see Placer improving its offer. If the bid fails, the share price will probably fall. But we see long-term value in AurionGold at these prices so that would not unduly concern us. That's why we're sticking with HOLD FOR THE UPSIDE.
