Miners in Latin America are facing both growth and challenges. Heiko Ihle, senior research analyst with Euro Pacific Capital, examines the factors behind these trends. In this <\/em>Gold Report interview, Ihle urges investors to evaluate mining companies based on three important features rather than on the performance of others in the region.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Gold Report:<\/strong> Heiko, you cover many companies in Latin America. One silver miner in Mexico is challenging an eviction notice from its property in Chihuahua, Mexico, which is causing a stir in the mining industry. Does that give you cause to reevaluate Mexico as a mining jurisdiction or is this an isolated incident?<\/p>\n

Heiko Ihle:<\/strong> Mexico is a more challenging mining jurisdiction than the United States or Canada, but it’s also a much easier place than Bolivia, for example. There are some common challenges with mining there. One of the companies I cover, Fortuna Silver Mines Inc., has some issues with the community in Oaxaca. This sort of thing happens all the time, and it’s mostly business as usual.<\/p>\n

TGR:<\/strong> What sort of gold and silver prices are you using in your models to evaluate these companies?<\/p>\n

HI:<\/strong> I’m a stock analyst, as opposed to a macroanalyst, so I use conservative numbers: $1,600\/ounce (oz) long-term gold prices and $34\/oz long-term silver prices. In the long term, those numbers are likely to be a little too low, but they produce a margin of safety to our net asset value (NAV) and cash-flow models.<\/p>\n
