SpeculatingStocks.com Stock Pick: Ivanhoe Mines Ltd. (IVN)

Stock Price: $1.94

Ivanhoe Mines, Ltd., together with its subsidiaries, operates as a mineral exploration and development company. The company holds interests in and conducting operations on mineral resource properties principally located in Central Asia and Australia as well as projects in Mongolia and Kazakhstan.

On September 30th, a company executive from IVN commented that he saw no reason for IVN's drop. At that time, IVN was trading at $6.40. IVN has been severely oversold and now appears to have finally found a bottom just below the $2.00 level.

Rio Tinto, one of the largest mining companies in the World, is a strategic partner of Ivanhoe Mines. IVN and Rio Tinto are negotiating with Mongolia's government to develop a copper and gold mine in the country.

They are looking to develop the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold project in Mongolia's South Gobi Region. If IVN receives approval by the Mongolian government, we could see IVN shares rebound and correct big to the upside.

We believe gold will rebound and benefit IVN as well.
