Sipa Resources closed nearly 80% higher on Friday after reporting results from a partially completed drilling program at its Kitgum-Pader nickel-copper project in Uganda. The majority of results are still to come. Sipa Resources has been one of the stocks in the PortfolioDirect exploration (Phase I) model portfolio. Without strong follow through results which clarify the size of the potential resource (as well as the grades), similar exploration results as these from other companies have resulted in prices retracing subsequently. One reason is the financial capacity of companies to go the next step. Sipa had $1.1 million in the bank at the end of December with expected expenditure in the March quarter of $1.3 million. After Friday, the price has reached the upper end of an established trading channel which probably warrants cutting back on this position.
