The Globe and Mail attempts to identify Canadian gold miners poised to pop in its Wednesday, Sept. 3, edition. The Globe's Peter Ashton writes in the Number Cruncher column that if bullion surges this September as it has done in the past, it could boost the share prices of Canadian gold mining stocks. Mr. Ashton looked for Canadian gold miners trading significantly off their 52-week highs. He began by setting a minimum market capitalization threshold of $1-billion to focus on larger, more established companies in the market. Next, he looked for companies trading at least 15 per cent off their 52-week highs and therefore having room to appreciate. In order to select companies with strong fundamentals and outlooks, Mr. Ashton used analyst consensus ratings to consider only stocks rated either "buy" or "strong buy." Mr. Ashton's gold stocks with shine potential are New Gold, Detour Gold, Torex Gold Resources, AuRico Gold and Capstone Mining.
