Starcore International Mine ( (TSE:SAM) ) has issued an announcement.
Starcore International Mines reported significantly improved third-quarter production at its San Martin mine in Mexico, following the resolution of earlier preg-robbing issues that had affected gold recoveries. Gold recoveries returned to normal levels, silver grades increased, and production met budgeted targets in the last two months of the quarter, with gold-equivalent output rising 16% quarter-on-quarter despite lower year-to-date gold grades.
Exploration over the past six months successfully extended high-grade ore bodies in the northern zone of San Martin, and the company has begun mining these new zones, which are averaging about 5 grams of gold and 80 grams of silver per tonne. Starcore is also preparing a new geophysical survey over historic anomalies in the northern part of its concession, as it shifts operational focus to higher-grade extensions to boost metal output and profitability, underscoring a more stable and potentially more profitable production profile for stakeholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:SAM) stock is a Hold with a C$1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Starcore International Mine stock, see the TSE:SAM Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on TSE:SAM Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:SAM is a Neutral.
The score is primarily supported by solid financial structure (very low leverage) and strong revenue growth, but held back by weak profitability/operational efficiency (negative EBIT), cash flow pressure, and a relatively high P/E. Technicals add moderate risk due to weak near-term momentum despite a still-positive longer-term trend.
