Even if it's not a huge purchase, we think it was good to see that Yongming Zhang, the Independent Director of Whitehorse Gold Corp. (CVE:WHG) recently shelled out CA$100k to buy stock, at CA$0.40 per share. Nevertheless, it only increased their shareholding by a minuscule percentage, and it wasn't a massive purchase by absolute value, either.

Whitehorse Gold Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In fact, the recent purchase by Yongming Zhang was the biggest purchase of Whitehorse Gold shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is CA$0.41. Of course they may have changed their mind. But this suggests they are optimistic. While we always like to see insider buying, it's less meaningful if the purchases were made at much lower prices, as the opportunity they saw may have passed. Happily, the Whitehorse Gold insiders decided to buy shares at close to current prices.

Does Whitehorse Gold Boast High Insider Ownership?
I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. Insiders own 8.5% of Whitehorse Gold shares, worth about CA$2.2m, according to our data. We do generally prefer see higher levels of insider ownership.

The recent insider purchases are heartening. We also take confidence from the longer term picture of insider transactions. But we don't feel the same about the fact the company is making losses. While the overall levels of insider ownership are below what we'd like to see, the history of transactions imply that Whitehorse Gold insiders are reasonably well aligned, and optimistic for the future.
