Mining Stock Education · “You Can Buy $CTGO at Just Three Times Next Year’s Free Cash Flow” – Contango’s Shawn Khunkhun

Contango Silver & Gold (NYSE & TSX: $CTGO) president Shawn Khunkhun discusses why CTGO shares are down ~50% since January and how this presents investors with a buying opportunity. The company’s current valuation is just three times next year’s expected free cash flow, he shared. He explains the key catalysts investors are waiting for, why and how the company eliminated its hedge book. He outlines the DSO model shipping ore to Kinross’s Fort Knox mill and how Contango is reinvesting cash flow into Lucky Shot drilling, Johnson Tract infrastructure/permitting, and a 40,000m Kitsault Valley drill program. He states that a mill acquisition is being targeted for longer-term needs.
