From RBC's Micheal Curren:
Big Expansion Of Gold Resources. Total gold resources were increased from
13.2 to 24.7 million ounces (using a 0.5g/t cut-off). Using the same 0.6g/t cut-off
as the mineplan, M+I resources are 17.3MMoz, and total resources are
22.4MMoz.
Investment Thesis - Compelling Risk/Reward
As they are trading at a paltry AMC of US$22/oz, which is almost half of the
non-producer average of US$43/oz, we see good opportunity for a re-rating of
DGC shares as investors digest the positive pre-feasibility study and the
opportunities for improved economics, and as the Detour Lake project achieves
milestones over the coming year (full feasibility study in Q1/10, large equity
financing in H1/10, permits for mining summer/fall 2010).
Recent revisions to our model from the pre-feasibility study, and the rolling forward of our valuation basis from 2009 to 2010
estimates, lead us the increase our 12-month target price from $15 to $16/sh, and we maintain our Outperform, Speculative Risk
rating.
