At the close of Friday, January 30, 2009 the share price was $0.95 asigning to the company a market cap of $26.522 million.
Since there is $25.0 million in cash, all properties are literally thrown in for $1.522 million including the 1.0+ million ounces of gold, and 4.4 million ounces of silver at the above mentioned deposit. Plus the partner for this property is Kinross Gold. For Kinross Gold to earn a 70% percent interest in the Mexican property, they have to spend $15.0 million by September, 2009. Pay to Linear Gold $100.0 million, and another up to $15.0 million depending on the size of the discovery, within 90 days of a decision to build a mine.
Thus, even if we were to count the $100.0 million due from Kinross and the $25.0 million in the treasury, the company is worth at least $4.47 and it doesn't even include the remaining 30% stake in the Ixhuatan property or any other properties in Brazil and the Dominican Republic!
