Campbell Resources
CCH.TO (Toronto exchange)
CBLRF.OB (United States OTC exchange)
They are a copper/gold Producer, trading down around 13 cents, because they are just coming out of CCAA restructuring. Sprott (John Embry) is investing $10 million in CCH. You can still buy the shares for only 5 or 6 cents higher than the private placement price.
Weekly ChartThe share price is being "held down" until after the Rights offering closes. Canaccord took advantage of this - they bought 850,000 shares on Friday 9/22. When you buy at 0.13, the ASK keeps getting replenished - how convenient for a large buyer!
Campbell will be emerging from CCAA restructuring protection in the next 30 days. An 80-page Prospectus was released on Sept 13th (available in Sedar). The common shares will remain intact, but diluted. A Rights Plan is being offered.
Fully diluted, there will be 400 million shares. Today's fully diluted market cap is only about $50 million. That's excellent for a copper/gold Producer that will have 5 properties producing.
I see a forward PE ratio of between 1 and 3, and I document that in my Analysis (internet link below).
Currently producing Copper and Gold from 2 properties:
- Joe Mann
- Copper Rand
Campbell will have 5 producing mines in 2007. They will be adding production from 3 more properties in 2007:
- Corner Bay, a massive high grade copper mine. I calculate a total copper resource of 250 million pounds at 5% copper grade. Full production mid-2007. It's all in the press releases.
- Cedar Bay, a formerly producing copper/gold mine.
- Merrill Island (a small mine). Starting up now.
When Campbell emerges from CCAA restructuring (less than 30 days), the share price should shoot much higher. They will be a mid-cap producer with an extremely low forward PE ratio.
Campbell has everything am Institutional Buyer would want:
Production, both copper and gold
Politically safe location
Liquidity
Royalties
High grade resources
Multiple properties
A long history
Largest holder will be best known House in Canada (promotion)
Campbell once traded on the NYSE:
Long Term ChartA small number of Rights will also trade on the TSX for about 2 weeks in early October. If you buy the Rights, you will then be able to get Units at the same price as Sprott is paying. A Unit is one share and 1/2 a warrant, for .08 CAD.
