First development ore at Nova Project: Independence Group NL (ASX: IGO) stock surged over 7.7% on July 04, 2016 driven by the ongoing recovery in gold prices. In fact, the stock rallied over 6.96% in the last five days (as of July 01, 2016) as the group reported that they mined the first development ore from the high prospect Nova Project in Western Australia. Nova Project is reported to be 90% finished as of May 2016 and is on track to start production of nickel and copper concentrates by December 2016. Other than Nova, the group’s core Tropicana project has major potential to extend mine life beyond its initial 10 years. IGO has a solid cash of $41 million and has the ability to withstand any short term pressures.

Fortescue Metals Group Ltd
FMG Details
-
Positive outlook: Fortescue Metals Group Limited (ASX: FMG) stock surged over 7.2% on July 04, 2016 driven by sharp rally in the commodity markets. Moreover, market estimates that iron ore prices may get a boost given FMG’s competitor, Rio Tinto’s move of holding its Simandou project, which in turn could further add potential for FMG stock. Recently, Moody’s upgraded their outlook on the group and issued a stable rating with Ba3 rating. Moody’s reported that the group’s debt reduction efforts for second half of fiscal 2016 had further cut FMG’s breakeven costs leading to a major buffer to maintain leverage metrics at adequate level even when iron ore prices suffered.
-
Recommendation: With the recovering iron ore prices, FMG’s stock would continue to rally in the coming months and hence we give a “Hold” on the stock at the current price of $3.89
