Revision in line with expectations
San Gold announced the results of its updated resource estimate on its Rice Lake
project on September 3. The new estimate includes the company's Rice Lake, Hinge
and SG#1 mines, as well as the 007, Cartwright, SG2/3 and Cohiba zones. Overall,
estimated ounces (in all categories) dropped by about 14% (Table 1) due primarily
to a reduction in grade of the 007 Zone, in line with our expectations. The revised
estimates have little impact on our forecasts and valuation of San Gold, and we are
maintaining our
BUY rating and 12-month price target of C$5.40/share.
