New Gold (TSX:NGD), a Canadian copper and gold-producing stock, is reporting a fatality at its Rainy River mine in northwestern Ontario.
The employee in question was operating equipment in the open pit early Wednesday morning. Management has since voluntarily suspended operations, according to Wednesday’s news release, and is working with authorities on an ongoing investigation.
The case for investing in New Gold stock today
The tragic news is barely weighing on shares during Wednesday’s trading session, showing how the market has warmed to New Gold’s robust production growth (slide 5), which is expected to approximately double to 600,000 ounces of gold equivalent per year from 2022 to 2026 while gradually decreasing costs.
Though free cash flow is projected to minimize capital expenditures into the next decade (slide 8) – should gold hold at or above the US$2,000 per ounce mark – the company isn’t yet profitable on a net income basis. For this reason, readers should wait until cost reduction measures show up in the balance sheet and fortify this growth story before making an allocation.
