The gold producers' shares have shot higher over the past year on the back of record-high gold prices and a significant increase in the company's gold production figures.
And analysts are bullish that it'll continue over the next year, too. They have a consensus buy rating on the ASX 200 mining stock with a maximum target price of $2.47. That implies the shares could jump another 64.23% in the next 12 months.
