While M&A activity takes place in all industries, it is more inevitable in some. Technology has a lot of M&A but it is less inevitable than two others. Biotech is very inevitable in that most smaller biotechs, if they discover a potential blockbuster drug or treatment, get bought out by a large drug company. The other inevitable industry is mining, especially gold and silver mining. The large companies need to replace reserves and do so by combining their own exploration and development efforts with purchasing reserves of new discoveries by juniors and smaller exploration companies. The two giants in Nevada gold mining are Barrick and Newmont. I believe that before another year goes by, they will engage in a bidding war to buy out GSV. We don’t yet know how valuable GSV’s Nevada projects will become. When results get released and valuations of reserves can be established, we should see GSV rise and the opening salvo by one of the giants take place. Not to be outdone, the bidding should be aggressive. Looking at the number of shares outstanding and a few other metrics, I can see a final price in the $2.50-$3 per share for GSV. A lot depends on where gold is priced at the time of any offer. The longer out into a year from now, when the gold price is presumably considerably higher, will determine how close to a $3 price. GSV has been leading the miners and metal price for at least a year. It headed down before last year’s everything crash and led back up after the March 23rd bottom. It has led on the way up and on the way down during this major correction. It has now carved out a small inverse H&S bottom over the last ten trading sessions. If you buy in to my thesis that they will eventually be bought out, today represents a great entry point if you aren’t already in.
