At a Quick Glance:
Due to its location in the Philippines, TVI Pacific has gone relatively unnoticed by many investors. After announcing impressive year-end results (http://tinyurl.com/yhv4rcb) on March 25, 2010, TVI gained 8.33% on 10x average volume.
They have completed 13 shipments (Cu, Au, Ag) since March 2009 with an average weight of 5,000 dry metric tons. The Company was able to benefit from the incremental incline of metal prices throughout 2009. Future shipments of approximately 5,000 dmt are anticipated to occur approximately every six weeks. Also anticipated is an increase in the grade of copper content for each metric tonne of concentrate shipped as to reduce shipping and freight costs.
As of January 19, 2010, TVI has reduced its five year debt facility from US $30.1 million to $16.2 million in less than one year. IR representative, Rhonda, states “…we are aggressively servicing debt this Q1; whereas, we haven’t been as aggressive in the past quarters. If metal prices keep up the way they are, we could be done with the loan before the end of Q2 with internal cash.”
TVI has an extremely informative website and a very responsive IR department, including a Facebook page (http://tinyurl.com/ygzyu8t) in which Rhonda quickly responds to investors’ questions.
