TNR Gold Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In fact, the recent purchase by Executive Chairman Kirill Klip was not their only acquisition of TNR Gold shares this year. They previously made an even bigger purchase of CA$102k worth of shares at a price of CA$0.03 per share. We do like to see buying, but this purchase was made at well below the current price of CA$0.065. Because it occurred at a lower valuation, it doesn't tell us much about whether insiders might find today's price attractive.
In the last twelve months TNR Gold insiders were buying shares, but not selling. Their average price was about CA$0.036. To my mind it is good that insiders have invested their own money in the company. However, you should keep in mind that they bought when the share price was meaningfully below today's levels.
