The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Klondike Gold
Notably, that recent purchase by Peter Tallman is the biggest insider purchase of Klondike Gold shares that we've seen in the last year. Although we like to see insider buying, we note that this large purchase was at significantly below the recent price of CA$0.28. Because the shares were purchased at a lower price, this particular buy doesn't tell us much about how insiders feel about the current share price.
Happily, we note that in the last year insiders paid CA$805k for 3.18m shares. On the other hand they divested 80000 shares, for CA$31k. In the last twelve months there was more buying than selling by Klondike Gold insiders. They paid about CA$0.25 on average.

Does Klondike Gold Boast High Insider Ownership?
Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Klondike Gold insiders own about CA$7.6m worth of shares. That equates to 23% of the company. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
What Might The Insider Transactions At Klondike Gold Tell Us?
It's certainly positive to see the recent insider purchases. And the longer term insider transactions also give us confidence. But we don't feel the same about the fact the company is making losses. When combined with notable insider ownership, these factors suggest Klondike Gold insiders are well aligned, and that they may think the share price is too low. While we like knowing what's going on with the insider's ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision.
