Gold Mining Equities Slide despite Gold Surging Above $1,250 It was an unusual week for gold mining equities. While the price of gold surged amid weakness in the U.S. dollar, gold mining equities followed a downward trend, with the S&P/TSX Gold Mining Index falling 1.5% this week to finish at 216. The gold price surged past the $1,250 level, briefly touching $1,260 per ounce before settling at $1,256 per ounce on Friday. Global markets in general were mixed; the S&P/TSX Composite Index fell almost 350 point to close at 15533, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed higher for the week, up 50 points to 20821. The mixed performance in global markets followed a number of comments made by President Trump, which included his willingness to increase his Country’s nuclear arsenal. Furthermore, some commentators have alluded to the end of the “Trump Bubble”, a term used to link the recent surge in equity markets since the election to the promise of greater infrastructure spend in the U.S. Meanwhile, comments by the Federal Reserve stating “uncertainty regarding the impact of possible tax cuts and other White House economic policies" also weighed on global markets.

The seasonally adjusted U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) decreased to 54.3 in February, following January’s near 2-year high of 55. Falling below expectations, February’s Manufacturing PMI decline was due mainly to softer output and new order growth. Despite February’s slowdown, the latest survey indicated that new order growth remained as fast as it has been since March 2015. Driven by strong sales domestically, this helped offset weaker growth in export markets during February. Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) Mortgage applications decreased 2% in the week ended February 17. Following a 3.7% decrease in the previous period, refinance applications declined 1%, and applications to purchase a home went down 2.8% last week. In addition, average fixed 30-year mortgage rates increased by 4 basis points to 4.36%. Existing home sales jumped 3.3% on a month-over-month basis to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5,690,000 in January. The jump is following a downwardly revised 5,510,000 in the previous month and beating market expectations of 5,550,000. January’s existing home sales are the highest we have seen since February of 2007. This growth is driven by rebounding sales for condos, which are up 8.3% from a 10.4% decline in December, and single-family home sales, which are up 2.6% from a 0.4% decline the month before. For the week ending February 18, initial jobless claims increased by 6,000, from the previous week’s revised 238,000, to reach 244,000. However, claims have been below 300,000 for 103 straight weeks, the longest streak since 1970. New home sales of single-family houses in the U.S. went up 3.7% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 555,000 in January. This increase follows a downwardly revised 535,000 in the December. The median sales price of new houses sold in January was $312,900, and the average sales price was $360,900 for the month. According to the Survey of Consumers from the University of Michigan, the Index of Consumer Sentiment for February came in at 96.3, down from January’s 98.5. Still a 5% increase from last February, the Sentiment Index has been higher during the past three months than any time since March 2004. However, this doesn’t appear to be a result of consumer’s expectation that Trump's election will have a positive economic impact. Instead, there appears to be an unprecedented partisan divergence with Democrats expecting recession and Republicans expecting robust growth. While the expectations of Democrats and Republicans largely offset each other, the overall gain in the Expectations Index was due to self-identified Independents, who were much closer to the optimism of the Republicans than the pessimism of the Democrats. Canada
The NSA Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Canada increased by 0.86% from December’s 128.40 to reach an all-time high of 129.50 Index Points in January. The seasonally adjusted CPI increased 0.7% since December, and 2.12% since January 2016, to reach the January 2017 index of 130.3. According to Statistics Canada, the main contributors to the 12 month change in the CPI were: gasoline (+20.6%), purchase of passenger vehicles (+3.8%), homeowners’ replacement cost (+4.3%), natural gas (+15.6%), and food purchased from restaurants (+2.3%). Whereas, the contributors with the greatest decrease were primarily produce and other grocery items with vegetables down 15.5% and fruit down 10.8%.
Barkerville Gold announced additional drill results from Island Mountain, located within the Company’s Cariboo gold project in British Columbia. In addition, Barkerville also completed a number of metallurgical drill holes at Cow Mountain, and has begun drilling at the Tailings Zone, situated between Cow and Island Mountain. The Tailings Zone has not been drill tested since the 1960s.
Highlight results from the drilling at Island Mountain include the following:
Near-surface intersections proximal to the historical Mosquito mine: o IM-17-007: 6.70 metres grading 11.18 g/t gold from a downhole depth of 110.60 metres; this includes
a 0.6 metre intercept grading 22.20 g/t gold, o IM-17-008: 4.50 metres grading 12.40 g/t gold from a downhole depth of 142.0 metres, including 1
metre grading 51.70 g/t gold , and o IM-17-013: 2.05 metres grading 34.06 g/t gold from a downhole depth of 269.45 metres, including
0.70 metre grading 96.30 g/t gold (drilled approximately 70 metres downdip of historical mine development).
Near-surface intersections at the newly discovered Shaft Zone: o IM-17-010: 5.40 metres grading 7.60 g/t gold from a downhole depth 19.25 metres, including 1.25
metres grading 23.60 g/t gold.

IDM Mining Ltd. (IDM-V, $0.16, not rated) – $15.2 Million Private Placement with Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd.
On Wednesday morning, IDM Mining (IDM-T), which owns the Red Mountain Gold exploration/development project within the “Golden Triangle” of northwest B.C., announced a $15.248 million private placement with Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. (OR-T, Buy, TP $18.25). Pursuant to this placement, Osisko agreed to purchase 29.4 million common shares at a price of $0.17 per share and 41 million flow-through shares at a price of $0.25 per share. On closing, which is anticipated on or about March 1, 2017, Osisko will hold 19.9% of IDM Mining on a non-diluted basis. The shares will be subject to a 4-month hold period. As part of the deal, IDM Mining will grant to Osisko certain pre-emptive rights in respect to purchases or grants of royalties or streams from the Red Mountain gold project. Proceeds from the offering will be used primarily to advance development of the Red Mountain gold project, as well as to move forward with the feasibility study for the project.
Located in northwestern B.C., Red Mountain is 15 kilometres northeast of the town of Stewart. With Osisko Gold Royalties now a significant shareholder, IDM Mining is preparing to move forward on its feasibility study
for the Red Mountain project. This study will follow the July 2016 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for Red Mountain, which returned an after-tax net present value (NPV) of C$86.6 million and an after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of 32.3% with a 2-year payback period. We note that since then, the Company released an updated Mineral Resource estimate in January, which returned 2.07 million tonnes grading 8.75 g/t gold (583,700 ounces, measured and indicated) and 324,000 tonnes grading 6.21 g/t gold (64,800 ounces, inferred), plus silver credits. Key catalysts for the Company include: metallurgical test work results (Q1/17) and exploration and resource expansion drilling through spring/summer of this year. The feasibility study is expected to be completed in Q2/17. We note that after closing, Osisko Gold Royalties will be a significant shareholder, with approximately 19.9% of the shares outstanding.

Event: Fekola and Otjikoto gold mine visits and exploration review
Impact – Positive: Visits show organic growth base is firmly centred on West Africa, with Otjikoto in optimization phase and Fekola ready for Q4/17 first pour.
Otjikoto Gold Mine: Both the Otjikoto and Wolfshag open-pit mines are operating and feeding material to the Otjikoto carbon in leach / carbon in pulp (CIL-CIP) gold processing plant. Wolfshag feed started to be processed in late 2016. Highlights for the plant include the outstanding rates of gold recovery and the low rates of power consumption that have led to low operating costs…
Fekola Gold Mine: The mine is under development and projected to deliver first gold pour in October 2017. Development costs are in line with budget and ahead of the original schedule. Mining operations are underway, with 3.16 Mt and 13.17 Mt of ore and waste projected to be mined respectively in H1/17 and H2/17…
West African Exploration: Exploration highlights show the potential for resource expansion at Fekola, through delineation of the Kiwi Zone, as well as the materialization of a maiden resource on the Anaconda target. The latter offers the potential for a low-strip-ratio, free-dig mine yielding a lower grade feed to a satellite processing facility…
Q4/16 Production and 2017 Guidance: Q4/16 production of 141.6 koz of gold was in line with our expectations of 141 koz of gold, with La Libertad outperforming and El Limón underperforming. Quarterly revenue was $151 million on the sale of 151.5 koz of gold, which exceeded our expectations of $150 million. 2017 production guidance of 520 koz to 595 koz exceeded our earlier guidance of 561 koz of gold, with Fekola supporting an increase in production guidance, and La Libertad production lower than expected.
Marathon Gold announced an updated resource estimate for its Marathon deposit, which is part of the Company’s Valentine Lake gold project in Newfoundland. The new National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the Marathon deposit is given below:
The Company has also divided the updated resource estimate into open-pit constrained and underground resources. We note that 93% of the measured and indicated resource at Marathon is defined as open-pit resources.
Overall, the Marathon Gold deposit contains a total (measured + indicated + inferred) of 1.067 million ounces grading 1.98 g/t gold, a 400% increase from the previous resource estimate. The global resource estimate for the Valentine Lake gold project (measured + indicated + inferred) now stands at 2.154 million ounces grading 2.02 g/t gold, a 70% increase from the previous resource estimate.

Richmont Mines Inc. (RIC-T, $12.05, [Buy Rating, $14.00 Target Price]) – Q4/16 Results Down Slightly on Lower Realized Gold Price
Q4 CFPS Slightly Below Expectations on Lower Realized Gold Price…Bad Timing the Culprit – Richmont reported Q4 CFPS of $0.17 per share, versus consensus of $0.19 and our estimate of $0.19 per share. For the full year, CFPS came in at $0.80 versus consensus at $0.82 and Haywood at $0.83. The miss in Q4 was due to 1,390 fewer ounces sold than produced, and an average realized gold price in Q4 that was US$31/oz below the London Metal Exchange average price for the quarter (or C$38/oz).
Q4/16 and 2016 Production Pre-released…a Record Year – 2016 production was pre-released at 104,050 ounces of gold at a cash cost of $908/oz (US$685/oz), which compares with our expectations of 101,095 ounces at $875/oz (US$660/oz), a 3% beat on production, and a 4% miss on costs. Production came in at the top end of Company guidance for the year of between 98,000 and 106,000 ounces, and in the middle of cash-cost guidance of $885 to $945/oz (US$675 to US$720/oz). Production in Q4/16 came in at 29,505 ounces of gold at a cash cost of $952/oz (US$714/oz), which compares with our expectations of 26,550 ounces at $805/oz (US$605).
Strong Balance Sheet to Fund Island Mine Development and Exploration – Richmont sold 102,660 ounces of gold in 2016 at an average realized price of $1,640/oz (US$1,238/oz), generating $168.7 million of revenue. Cash balance decreased to $75.1 million, from $78.9 million at the end of Q3, but increased from $61.0 million at year-end 2015. Richmont has a good balance sheet to fund its development of the lower mine at Island and drive ahead with exploration. The Company expects between $58 million and $64 million in capital expenditures, and between $16 million and $19 million for exploration and project evaluation.
Aği Daği Delivers Impressive Feasibility Study Results
On Wednesday morning, Alamos announced results of the feasibility study (FS) completed on its 100% owned Aği Daği project in western Turkey. The study highlights a 30,000 tonne per day (tpd) open-pit heap leach operation, with annual gold production averaging 177,600 ounces per year at an average total cash cost of US$374/oz and all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of US$411/oz over the first 5 years. Initial capital cost is estimated at US$250 million (compared with US$278 million in the 2012 prefeasibility study [PFS]). At gold and silver price assumptions of US$1,250/oz and US$16.00/oz, the project returns an NPV5% of US$360 million and an after-tax IRR of 39%. Using these same gold and silver assumptions for the 2012 PFS, NPV8% has increased by 240% (to US$297.6 million from US$87.6 million), and the IRR has increased to 38.7% from 15.4%.
In general, our capex assumption is higher at US$285 million for Aği Daği and US$15 million for Çamyurt. Our average annual production is about 28% less than this FS, and our total cash cost is US$530/oz versus US$374/oz in the FS. We model 1.3 million ounces recoverable versus 0.94 million ounces in the FS at Aği Daği. The total reserve and resource at Aği Daği is currently 1.9 million ounces for all categories, and we expect our modelled recoverable reserves are achievable.
Aği Daği Resources Converted to 2P
A large portion of the measured and indicated (M&I) resource at Aği Daği has been successfully converted to an initial Proven and Probable (2P) Mineral Reserve totalling 54.4 million tonnes at an average gold grade of 0.67 g/t and 5.4 g/t silver, containing 1.17 Moz of gold and 9.5 Moz of silver. Alamos plans to drill a further 57,000 metres before construction starts, with 5,000 metres of infill at Aği Daği, 12,000 metres of step-out drilling at Aği Daği along strike, and a further 18,000 metres of drilling on other nearby targets (Fire Tower, Ilhamur, and Ayi Tepe). Another 22,000 metres of infill and step-out drilling are also planned at Çamyurt. We expect over time that Aği Daği and Çamyurt can reach 2 million ounces mineable.
In light of the upcoming financials expected later this quarter, we project that Asanko will deliver operating cash flow (before changes in working capital) of US$19 million, or US$0.09 per share on revenues of US$70 million, delivering earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of US$23 million.
Q4/16 Operations Summary
Asanko reported gold production of 57,178 ounces and sales of 58,483 ounces of gold for revenues of US$70.1 million at an average gold price of US$1,199/oz. Production was driven by processing of 901 kt of ore material at an average head grade of 2.1 g/t gold, with gold recoveries coming in at 94%. Mining operations removed a total of 7.23 Mt of material (similar to Q3/16), which included 1.30 Mt of ore material for a strip ratio of 4.6:1. Material stockpiles also showed quarter-over-quarter growth in tonnes, average grade and contained metal.
We project total production of 241 koz of gold at a cash cost of $718/oz. Our 2017 forecasts drive revenues of US$3308 million, EBITDA of US$160 million, and operating cash flow of US$110 million or US$0.54 per share.
Target Price, Ratings
Our target remains unchanged, but we have modified our rating to BUY from Hold.

NewCastle Gold Ltd. (NCA-T, $0.76, [Buy Rating, $1.60 Target Price]) – Drilling Returns Impressive Results at South Domes
South Domes Drilling Continues to Deliver Impressive Results
On Wednesday night, NewCastle Gold announced assay results from its ongoing 40,000-metre Phase II drill program (budgeted at $8 million) at the Company’s 100% owned Castle Mountain project located in San Bernardino County, California. The program commenced in November 2016, with seven rigs currently drilling, and to date 50% of the program has been completed. This program should be finished in April, with an updated resource estimate expected in Q3 and a prefeasibility study in Q4. About 80% of this drill program is infilling the South Oro Belle resource area to reserves, and the remainder is infill and step-out drilling at South Domes. NewCastle has cash today of around $15 million and is well funded for the current drill program.
Yesterday’s Results Follow-up on Previously Reported Results at the South Domes Target
The six new drill holes support the expansion of mineralization at the deposit, with drill hole CMM-129, the longest intercept reported to date, ending in mineralization 100 metres below the modelled pit shell. Hole CMM-129 included 5.43 g/t gold over 48.8 metres, which is below the current resource envelope. These six holes are predominately infill and again have delivered some nice grades and widths. Overall grade in South Domes should increase following this drill program given the tenor of the results so far versus the average resource grade currently at South Domes of 0.6 g/t gold.

Midas Gold Corp. (MAX-T, $0.89, [Buy Rating, $1.75 Target Price]) – Shallow High-Grade Gold-Antimony Mineralization Intersected at Yellow Pine
Yellow Pine Exploration: MGI-16-421 returned a significant intersection of 216.70 metres grading 3.24 g/t gold, 6.1 g/t silver, and 0.3% lead. This drill hole was designed to intersect west-northwest- to east-west-trending, north-dipping silica-sulphide vein systems and silica-sulphide breccias zones to better assess true widths. High-grade gold-antimony mineralization is largely bound between the A-B structure and the C structure, the latter of which is projected to coalesce with the G structure at depth.
Drill Holes MGI-16-418 and MGI-16-419: In Addition, these holes returned appreciable intervals of shallow high-grade gold and antimony mineralization, and were completed in the southeast portion of the Yellow Pine deposit to determine continuity of silica-sulphide breccia encountered in earlier 2012 and 2013 drilling campaigns. Drill hole MGI-16-418 (southwest of MGI-16-419) contained modestly higher grade gold mineralization (30%) over slightly greater widths (15%) than encountered in earlier drilling. Antimony grades were reportedly lower than delivered in earlier work. MG-16-419 encountered higher gold grades (2x) over a narrower interval (60%) than earlier results, but breccia may have been affected by post-mineralization faulting.

2016 Cash Flow Beats Consensus - Alamos reported 2016 cash flow (before non-cash working-capital changes) of US$148M, or US$0.56 per share, above our estimate of US$0.55 per share, and above consensus of US$0.52 per share. Q4 CFPS came in at $0.13, below our estimate of US$0.15 per share, and in line with consensus at US$0.13 per share…
2016 Production at Top End of Guidance - In 2016, Alamos produced 392,000 ounces of gold, which was at the top end of guidance of 370,000 to 400,000 ounces. All-in sustaining capital (AISC) averaged US$1,010/oz, which was just above the top end of full-year guidance of between US$800/oz and US$975/oz.
2017 Guidance….a 6% Increase on 2016 - Alamos previously released 2017 guidance of between 400,000 and 430,000 ounces of gold at a total cash cost of US$765/oz and an AISC of US$940/oz. We model 420,000 ounces of gold production at a total cash cost of US$750/oz and AISC of US$940/oz.
Reserves Increase by 31% - Alamos also reported updated mineral reserves and resources, with global proven and probable reserves increasing by 31% to 7.7 Moz, resulting in part from a significant increase in reserves at La Yaqui of 519,000 ounces, and initial mineral reserves reported at both Kirazlı and Aği Daği of 1.8M ounces in total.
Target Price, Ratings - We have adjusted our model to account for the recently completed bought-deal financing, as well as 2016 results and 2017 guidance. Our 2017 CFPS declines to US$0.70 from US$0.80, and our target price, which is based on a 12.5x EV/CFPS multiple (from 12.0x), remains unchanged at $13.00. We maintain our BUY rating.
