Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 31, 2014) - Ubika Research Senior Analyst Vikas Ranjan, in a recent SmallCapPower.com interview (view the article here: http://www.smallcappower.com/posts/ubika-research-17-1-2013), said he believes that the pace of consolidation in the junior/intermediate gold producers and near term producers' space can accelerate, as many companies with high-quality projects represent good value at current market levels for major producers such as Goldcorp. (NYSE: GG), Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE: ABX), Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE: AEM), Kinross Gold Corp. (NYSE: KGC), and Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM). Large and intermediate producers with strong balance sheets and little or no debt are in a particularly better position to capitalize on such merger and acquisition opportunities.

Companies mentioned in the article include Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX: AGI), Argonaut Gold Inc. (TSX: AR), Rio Alto Mining Limited (TSX: RIO), and Belo Sun Mining Corp. (TSX: BSX).
