Alacer Gold Corp. (ASX: AQG), a turkey-focused gold miner is on a surge amid high gold production and high future production guidance. The financial performance of the company is also steady, which is adding to the rise of the stock price on various stock exchanges such as Canada Stock Exchange (CSE: ASR) and Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).
Following the status-quo on gold prices, gold prices are oscillating around $1295, which marks a rise from $1160.34 (XAU) level seen in August 2018. The rise in the prices of the yellow metal is a likely impetus for the company to explore the high-grade targets and produce more gold to take advantage of the current prices and to lock on the future stream of cash inflows.
The company has announced that 4,120,183 CDIs have been converted into common shares (no impact on issued common shares) and 648,264 common shares have been converted into CDIs.
