TRY and DRM are both in my gold holdings list as decent plays through the coming bull market turnaround.
I bought TRY prior to their high-grade Guyana operations going online, as their share price bottomed into $0.19 (current at around $0.51). This operation was originally modeled to produce ~120,000oz/year at an AISC of USD$550. Having started mining now, and after removing the over burden 30m sand layer, their most recent reports indicate that they have in-fact hit much more gold (50%+ more) then their original models suggests (there was also a N/S trend they didn't pick up... nice surprise). So in summary... they are re-drilling the resource and will have an updated JORC in Q4 this year i think, which (fingers crossed) indicated significant more tons/grade/oz etc. this could be a 10 year mine (including 2-3 years U/G) with an AISC of US$550.
I bought DRM about 1 year ago and has done very well! great management in a great location really. They will have their 2nd mine operational in July this year... AISC AUD$1000/oz and produce around 160,000oz which is okay. Huge exploration upside i believe with some interesting hits in nearby JV's!
So i think TRY and DRM will do well.

Thanks for the heads up I was unable to identify TRY if you could name them that will be great. companies like DRM are rare and almost a sure thing over a period of time. I had to smile 50% higher grades are not just a little bit wrong. ha
TROY Resources (ASX:TRY)
The management has skin in the game, have been in South America for a long time and have weathered bull markets/bear markets.
Check out their chart... they went from $0.50 to $5.00 in the bull market between 2008-2011, were a dividend payer etc. Then like most gold stocks, they rode the bear cycle down hard! bottoming in at around $0.19 in early 2016, again, like most gold stocks.
Their key-note operation in Guyana was purchased through a takeover of Mutiny Gold several years ago. Mutiny had done most of the drilling to get the JORC deposit. TRY did some infill drilling, but only enough to 'sure-up' the numbers for a feasibility study.
So come mining time, and when they started stripping the overburden, they found a surprise in that the originally incorrect in that both a E/W AND N/S mineral system was present. This sounds terrible from a 'well-run-company' image, but it has been a sweet surprise! The 5-6 year mine life i believe, and come Q4, might just move out to 10 years. Perfect to weather this bull market when it actually gains traction.
TRY will look to make 120,000 * AUD$1,000 = $120,000,000 at current prices... before tax etc. and with a market cap around $170M... its a pretty good business to hold for a few years IMO.
I hope this helps.
