BDR also made a Deed of Undertaking with Amapa Electricity Company for the power supply at its 100% owned Tucano gold mine in northern Brazil, to improve electricity for surrounding places. As per the deed, BDR has started the required improvements to the existing 110km 69 KV power line which terminates at Tucano. On the other hand, BDR stock fell 22.77% in three months (as of October 10, 2016) due to declining gold prices on concerns of interest rates hikes. But BDR is expecting CY 2016 production to be 145,000-160,000 ounces of gold at an AISC for CY2016 forecasted to be between US$715-US$815 per ounce, indicating the group’s clear margins against the current gold prices. The stock in fact rose 6.9% on October 11, 2016. We give a “Speculative Buy” recommendation on the stock at the current price of $0.42
