Western Copper & Gold Co.

Western Copper and Gold reported a Q1 net loss of C$2.5m versus C$0.64m a year earlier, driven by higher corporate and regulatory costs. The company exited the quarter with C$134.4m in cash and short-term investments, up from C$50.5m after a bought-deal equity financing that raised C$92m. The additional funding provides a substantial runway for permitting and early work at the Casino project in Yukon, and some analysts forecast significant upside for the stock over the next 12 months. » Mere på finance.yahoo.com
