- [By Pato Kehoe] to remain profitable throughout 2013, and is keen on repeat success in 2014.
What Yamana Did Right
One of the main reasons Yamana has achieved rather good results throughout the past year, is their focus on low-cost mining. In particular, the firm established lower price assumptions and thus avoided asset write-downs. A quick comparison to industry rivals Barrick Gold Corporation (ABX) and Newmont Mining Corporation (NEM) is noteworthy. While Yamana valued its reserves and resources with a price of $950 per ounce of gold, Barrick expected prices in the $1,300 per ounce range. Newmont also overestimated the value of its assets, bringing its valuation down from $1,500 per ounce to $1,400 per ounce as of its second quarter. In the end, Barrick and Newmont each took $8.7 billion and $1.77 billion, respectively, in asset write-downs.
Low-Cost Profile, Expansion and Diversification
Yamana�� conservative valuation policy certainly contributed to the higher profitability the firm achieved in 2013, as did the below-average production costs the firm achieved. Looking forward, this means the company is in a comfortable position to continue developing existing projects. Unlike Barrick�� Pascua-Lama project, which was put on hold this year, Yamana has several promising new mines underway. The pipeline is full of attractive projects, including a few advanced-stage operations such as Pilar, C1 Santa Luz and Ernesto mines. Naturally, these are rather modest operations in terms of scale, particularly compared to Barrick�� Pascua-Lama mine, yet this also facilitates completion.
A touch of diversification also helped Yamana along the way during the harsh year for gold miners. The firm�� portfolio includes silver and copper mines in Central and South America, which have delivered steady streams of cash for the company. In addition, Yamana�� cost profile is rather attractive, due to the high metal grades of its mines.
