GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK CLOUDED AS MARKET VOLATILITY PERSISTS
The collapse of global equity markets continued early in the week, headlined by the capitulation of the Shanghai Composite Index, which fell 19% from Monday’s open to Tuesday’s close. The fall sent shockwaves around the world, with most global equity markets dropping as growing concerns over the severity of the slowdown of the Chinese economy prompted investors to abandon equities. No asset class appeared safe; the U.S. dollar index fell on Monday by 1.7% only to recover for the remainder of the week to finish at 96.32. Eyes are now clearly turning to the Federal Reserve’s decision next month on whether to raise interest rates, which, up until a couple of weeks ago, appeared to be a sure thing. Key to the decision will be whether the Fed sees the latest market turmoil as a short-term correction, or a sustained issue that could hamper global economic growth in the medium-term. The price of gold fell before stabilizing later in the week to finish 2.3% down, with some commentators questioning its status as a safe haven asset. Other precious metals were also down, with silver (↓5%) and palladium (↓2.5%) both falling during the week; platinum was flat and finished at $1,019 per ounce. Industrial metals were volatile for the most part; copper (↑1.6%), lead (↑1.7%) and zinc (↑2.5%) were all up for the week, after falling earlier in the week. Nickel continued its horror run, falling 1.4% for the week, and finishing on Friday at $4.55 per pound. The price of WTI crude fell below the $40 per barrel mark on Monday, hitting a low of $37.8 in intra-day trading before rallying later in the week by 15% to finish at $45.3 per barrel. The UxC Broker Average Price (BAP) for uranium continued to maintain its gradual rise from last week, climbing slightly to finish at $36.81 per pound.

METALS SECTOR MACRO
Macroeconomic News
Global: After the capitulation in global markets last week, market volatility ensued as doubts remained over just how dire the state of the Chinese economy is—compounded by a 19% drop in the Shanghai Composite Index from Monday’s open to Tuesday’s close. The uncertainty translated into severe market gyrations, as evident on Tuesday with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising almost 500 point. The Dow regained ground on Wednesday and Thursday, before finishing at 16,643 on Friday. Tuesday’s volatility in North American markets followed the People’s Bank of China’s (PBOC) decision to cut interest rates by 0.25 basis points. On Wednesday, the PBOC then pumped $22 billion into its banking system in the form of short-term loans. Thursday saw a rally in global markets; the Shanghai Composite index rose 3%, while the Dow Jones recovered 600 points. The volatility suggests investors are nervous about what will happen next - with an interest rate decision by the Federal Reserve next month a key variable that could influence how the markets will react for the remainder of the year.
United States: Macroeconomic data this week in the United States were received warily in light of the turmoil in the stock markets; new home sales provided further support of a pick-up in the housing market, rising 21% year on year (YoY) in July compared with a year earlier, and 5.4 month on month (MoM) compared with the month prior. The new-home sales figure for July came in at 507,000. Last week’s Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) figure for mortgage applications continued the positive tone in housing, rising 0.2% for the week ending August 21, 2015; fixed 30-year mortgage rates averaged 4.08% in the week, down 3 basis points from 4.11% the previous week. Consumer confidence rebounded higher than expected in August, with the Conference Board returning a figure of 101.4, compared with economists’ 93.4 and the previous month’s revised figure of 91.0. This was in contrast to the University of Michigan consumer confidence figures later in the week which was down slightly for August, falling to 91.9 from 92.9 a month prior; economists were expecting a figure of 93.0. Durable goods orders also followed the positive trend, up 2% in July compared with the 4.1% gain in June. While the July increase is encouraging, U.S. manufacturers still face a host of problems from a stronger dollar and the economic turbulence in China. The positive economic data continued later in the week, with gross domestic product (GDP) growing 3.7% quarter on quarter (QoQ) for Q2/15, which was better than the expected figure of 2.3%. U.S. consumer spending in July rose 0.3% MoM after a similar rise in June, while personal income rose 0.4% in July. Signs that the market was stabilizing rekindled expectations of an interest rate increase this year, but interest rate swap rates indicated only a 25% chance of a hike next month. The reduced likelihood of an interest rate hike coincided with an upswing in U.S. markets on Thursday. The U.S. Federal Reserve, which meets from September 16 to 17, has said it will raise rates only when it sees a sustained recovery in the economy. On the jobs front, initial jobless claims fell more than expected last week, slipping 6,000 to a seasonally adjusted 271,000 for the week ending August 22, 2015. Economists had forecast claims falling to 274,000 last week.
China: Following a sequence of severe losses on the Shanghai Composite Index last week and earlier this week (see above), the PBOC has attempted to adopt a number of measures to instil confidence in its markets and economy. On Thursday, “The central bank chose a rarely used tool this time—the FX swaps—to intervene, and it did so via a couple of midsize banks, instead of the usual big state lenders that serve as its agent banks,” said one person familiar with the matter. The purpose, according to reports, was to tame expectations that the yuan would fall in value further, after the yuan was devalued last week.
Japan: On Wednesday, the Japanese government released its monthly economic report, stating that it believed the economy was recovering moderately, albeit unevenly, at odds with August data that showed the Japanese economy contracted in Q2/15. The government raised its assessment of housing construction, but cut its views on exports, private consumption, and imports and also downgraded its

assessment of the global economy for the first time in 3 years. It kept its view of the overall economy unchanged. On Friday, data showed inflation was flat for July, beating expectations of a drop below zero.
Europe: August saw a more upbeat tone for economic sentiment in the Eurozone; the European Commission’s Economic Sentiment Indicator rose to 104.2 from 104.0 in July. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal last week had expected a modest decline to 103.8. However, commentators took the numbers with a grain of salt, as the survey was conducted after the Greek bailout deal and prior to the recent turmoil in Chinese markets.

JUNIOR EXPLORER: WEEKLY VANTAGE POINT
News from the Junior sector this week included scintillometer results from NexGen Energy (NXE) at its Arrow project in Saskatchewan, results of a bulk sample from Kennady Diamonds Corp. (KDI-V) for its Kennady North project in the Northwest Territories, and early stage exploration results from Midland Exploration’s (MD-V) 100% owned Willbob property,

NexGen Energy Ltd. (NXE-V, $0.65) – NexGen Confirms High-Grade Potential Within the A2 and A3 Extension Zones
Mick Carew, [email protected], Colin Healey, [email protected]
A2 and A3 Extension Zones Continue to Deliver – NexGen released scintillometer results on drilling from its 2015 summer program at Arrow, located within the Company ’s 100% owned Rook I property in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. The latest results support those of very promising extension drilling released by the Company earlier this month, which successfully extended the A2 and A3 Zones by approximately 200 metres to the southwest. Of the latest set of drill results from Arrow, hole AR -15-54c1 returned 68.5 metres of total composite mineralization, including 10.35 metres with greater than 10,000 counts per second (cps) radioactivity within a 302.5-metre section, confirming the presence of high-grade mineralization within step-out hole AR-15-51 (see Mining Flash, August 5, 2015). On the back of the latest expansion drill results, NexGen has increased its ongoing summer 2015 drilling program by 5,000 metres to 30,000 metres, so additional infill drilling can be conducted within the expansion zone and ultimately be included in a maiden National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate scheduled for Q1/16.

Kennady Diamonds Inc. (KDI-V, $3.52) – Kelvin Bulk Sample Furnishes Grade and Size
Mick Carew, [email protected], Geordie Mark, [email protected]
2015 Kelvin Bulk Sample Returns 2.02 Carats per Tonne – Kennady released the results of a 443-tonne bulk sample from the Kelvin kimberlite. The sample was derived from reverse circulation (RC) drilling of the southeast lobe of the kimberlite, and was processed by dense media separation at the Geoanalytical Laboratories Diamond Services of the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC). A summary of the results includes the following:
o Commercial-size diamonds (> 0.85 mm) from the sample came in at an average grade of 2.02 carats per tonne, including Zone A and Zone B material grading 2.85 ct/t and 2.46 ct/t respectively.

Midland Exploration Inc. (MD-V, $0.63) Share Price: (52-week high/low: $0.93/$0.54) Daily Average Volume for the Week: 35,721 Market Capitalization: $33.6 million Shares Outstanding: 53.3 million Cash: $18 million (August 2015) Date of Release: August 26, 2015 Event: Midland Exploration announced results from early phase exploration work at its 100% owned Willbob project in the Labrador Trough. Midland is a project-generator company with a number of joint-venture and earn-in projects in Quebec.
Results: The Company reported assay results for grab samples from several new gold showings within its land package. Two new showings were identified, both located within 500 and 850 metres of the Kuni Showing (grab samples up to 19.8 g/t gold). Gold-only grab-sample results included 1.25 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 77.6 g/t gold, while a polymetallic grab sample returned 1.2 g/t gold, 132 g/t silver, 8.5% lead, and 7.1% zinc. Systematic grab sampling around the LaFrance system returned grab samples up to 21.9 g/t gold, designed to test the quartz-iron-carbonate alteration halo. Grab samples returned up to 9.3 g/t gold from iron carbonate alteration believed to be associated with orogenic-style gold mineralization.
Implications: The results from Willbob indicate that the Company has another good-quality early stage exploration project in the prolific Abitibi region. It is worth noting that the Willbob target has no historical drilling and is thus untested below surface. Midland plans on conducting further exploration work in the area, including channel sampling and geological mapping later this year. Midland has a number of joint-venture and earn-in agreements on several projects in Quebec, and Willbob represents one of the few in its portfolio that remains 100%-owned.
Coventry Resources Inc. (CYY-ASX, $0.07) Share Price: (52-week high/low: $0.11/$0.01) Daily Average Volume for the Week: 4.9 million Market Capitalization: $16 million Shares Outstanding: 231 million Cash: ~$1.5 million (August 2015) Date of Release: August 26 and 27, 2015 Event: Coventry Resources sent out a series of press releases pertaining to an A$1.32 million private placement and initial drill results from its Caribou project in Alaska. The Caribou project is currently under an earn-in agreement, whereby Coventry can earn an 80% interest in the project by spending US$9 million from June 2015 to June 2023, plus making cash payments of US$1.96 million over the same period, or completing a feasibility study at or before the June 2023 deadline. This week, the Company also announced preliminary drill and assay results.
Results: Late last week, Coventry announced an A$1.32 million private placement, which has subsequently been oversubscribed, to fund a 4,000-metre drill program at its Caribou project. The drill program, designed to test a number of 3D induced polarization (IP) anomalies and follow-up on historical shallow drilling, has returned intervals of massive sulphide at the 7/8 lenses (assay pending) and high-grade copper mineralization at its Lens 2 target, highlights of which include the following:
The Weekly Dig 8/28/15
Haywood Mining [email protected] Page 6
Hole CD15-09 that intersected 3.4 metres grading 4.8% copper from 51.6 metres and 3.5 metres grading 1.9% copper from 67.9 metres; this included a higher grade intersection of 0.7 metres grading 11.8% copper.
Hole CD15-06 that intersected 4.6 metres grading 10.6 % copper from 3.0 metres and 3.2 metres grading 8.7% copper from 14.5 metres.
Implications: The most important aspect of the preliminary results from the 4,000-metre program is the apparent correlation between high-grade copper mineralization associated with massive sulphide and elevated IP anomalism. In the case of Lens 2, the IP anomaly becomes broader and thicker with depth; the depth extent will be tested with subsequent drilling. The massive sulphide intersected at Lens 7/8 is also associated with a 1,765-metre-long IP anomaly, and assay results are expected soon. Coventry also received assay results from confirmatory drilling aimed at validating historical assay results from the Caribou project. Hole CD15-06 returned copper results consistent with hole DH15 drilled in 1965, suggesting historical data may be of good enough quality to incorporate into a future resource estimate of the project. Drilling is now underway at the Lens 7/8 target. A second rig is currently being mobilized and is expected to begin drilling within a few days. Assay results are also pending for four drill holes, all of which are expected next week.

HAYWOOD RESEARCH: THE WEEK IN REVIEW
Publications from the Haywood Research team for the week included the following:
FY/15 financial results from Paladin Energy Ltd. (PDN-T)
Progress update from True Gold Mining Inc. (TGM-V)
RADAR FLASHES
Paladin Energy Ltd. (PDN-T, $0.19; PDN-AU, A$0.195) – FY/15 Results – Adjusted Earnings in Line, OCF (Outflow) Better Than Estimate
Colin Healey, [email protected]
FY/15 Earnings and Cash Flow – Paladin posted a net loss after tax of US$300 million (US$268 million attributable to members of the parent, or US$0.189 per share), the bulk of which included US$237.5 million in non-cash impairment charges relating to Australian exploration assets (details below). After adjusting for the write-downs, results were very much in line with our estimates: we estimate an adjusted net loss of ~US$84.6 million, or US$0.06 per share, versus our estimate of US$85.6 million, or a loss of US$0.06 per share on the disclosed weighted-average shares outstanding for the year. Cash flow from operations was $(24.7 million), or $(0.02) per share, ahead of our estimate of $(0.06) per share, and consensus of $(0.03) per share, on improved margin.
FY/15 Sales and Production (100% basis) – Paladin sold 5.367 million pounds (Mlb) of U3O8 at an average price of US$37/lb, for revenue of US$198.6 million (↓39% YoY; previously released), which compared to our estimate at the time of release (mid-July) of sales of 5.2 Mlb at US$40/lb, for revenue of US$209 million. Revenue was slightly lower than estimated for the year, but was a wash to our earnings estimate on better margins. Langer Heinrich mine production was also previously released, coming in at 5.04 Mlb (↓13% YoY).

True Gold Mining Inc. (TGM-V, $0.18) – Well Positioned for First Gold in Q1/16
Tara Hassan, [email protected], Danny Ochoa, Peng, [email protected]
True Gold continues to make good progress at Karma and remains on schedule for first gold pour by the end of Q1/16. Although True Gold remains on track to build one of Burkina Faso ’s next gold mines, it is trading at a discount to both Global and African peers. While we expect risk to be elevated in Burkina Faso through the scheduled October 2015 elections, continued construction progress and the pending transition to producer status could benefit the share price in the nearer term.

OTHER REPORTS
Silver Industry Report – Silver Sector Q2/15 Post-Mortem Commissioning
Benjamin [email protected], Geordie [email protected]
Preferred Focus on Free-Cash-Flow Generation and Yield – We are highlighting Tahoe Resources and Mandalay Resources within our coverage universe given their yield (2.7% and 5.1% respectively), in addition to the ability to generate cash flow in the current metal price environment.
Cash and All-In Sustaining Costs – Within the scope of the broader producer universe, those companies with larger scale, higher grade assets showed more favourable cash and all-in sustaining-cost profiles. Operating costs have come down to adjust to the current precious metals paradigm and support operating margins, with average earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margins of 26%.
Unit Cost Improvements – The majority of companies in Haywood’s coverage universe delivered sequential (QoQ) improvements in Q2/15A unit costs, driven by reductions in input costs (fuel and consumables) and favourable foreign-exchange headwinds for non-U.S.-domiciled producers.
Cash-Flow Forecasts – Across the board, forecasts generally call for sequential (YoY) increases in operating cash flow based on an expectation of higher commodity prices. Current consensus silver price forecasts call for annual averages of US$17.06/oz in 2015 and US$17.64/oz in 2016 (source: Capital IQ), which compares with a current spot price of US$14.62/oz and Haywood forecasts of US$16.35/oz for 2015 and US$17.00/oz for 2016.

MARKET ESSENTIALS
Companies in the News
BHP Billiton (BHP-ASX) released its full-year FY/15 financial results. The results were the worst in 11 years for the Company. Profit after taxation plummeted 86% to US$1.91 billion for the full year 2015, from US$13.83 billion a year ago, amid a “significant decline in commodity prices.” Earnings included losses on exceptional items totalling US$3.2 billion and a write-down of US$2.0 billion over the Company’s onshore U.S. assets, and US$290 million on its Nickel West assets. Revenue for the Company was US$43.46 billion, lower than the US$55.05 billion of the previous year. Despite the poor results, BHP Billiton announced a dividend of US$1.24 per share for the year, a 2.5% YoY increase. In recent weeks, it has announced a series of cuts, particularly at its Escondida and Olympic Dam assets in Chile and Australia respectively.
Meanwhile, BHP Billiton’s spinoff company South32 Ltd. (S32-ASX) announced its full-year financial results, which returned a pro forma profit after tax of US$28 million, or $0.05 per share in its first set of earnings as a standalone unit. This was a 56% drop on the prior financial year’s pro forma profit after tax of US$64 million, which was in line with analyst estimates. Coinciding with the release of the results, the Company announced plans to cut US$350 million in annual costs and reduce capex in 2016 by 9% to US$650 million. South32 announced in June that it would write down the value of its manganese assets, and it has revealed a further $416 million of asset impairment, all of which was incorporated into the results.
According to reports, copper concentrate exports from Freeport-McMoRan’s (FCX-NYSE) Grasberg copper project in Indonesia have almost stopped completely after an exemption from a new rule on payment methods expired last month. According to Freeport Indonesia spokesman Riza Pratama, “We are gradually working with our buyers to change their method of payment … hopefully we will get this matter resolved very soon. We are talking with the government so we can continue our exports .” Following the news, the Company announced plans to cut capital spending plans for 2016 by 29%, and reduce its U.S.-based workforce by 10%. Freeport revealed it now expects capital spending of $4 billion next year, down from its July estimate of $5.6 billion. The Company also announced it will slash 2016 mineral exploration costs from $100 million to $50 million.
Workers at Eldorado Gold Corporation’s (EDR-T) Skouries gold mine in northern Greece have staged a counter-protest against the threatened closure of the operation, a day after fights broke out at a demonstration by activists who are against the project. This action comes after a series of protests from locals and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who have long opposed the mine, citing environmental damage and risks to tourism as concerns. Technical studies were suspended last week after the Greek government accused the Company of breaking an agreement, which apparently stated that certain technical studies were not done in country. Eldorado claimed that the studies were conducted in Finland. Eldorado has since sued the government, and was handed a small victory late in the week by the top court of Greece, ruling that the argument used by the energy and environment minister to revoke the Company’s permits is invalid.
Anglo American (AAL-LON) announced it has sold two of its copper mines in Chile to a consortium led by UK-based investment firm Audley Capital for $300 million. The two assets, open-pit mines Montos Blancos and Mantoverde, come with a clause for future payments under certain conditions, which could add up to an additional $200 million to the price. The potential price increase would also depend on whether Audley pursues an expansion plan for the Mantoverde mine to extend its life. The Company has looked at selling a number of assets in South America, so it can instead concentrate on its larger operations, including Collahuasi and Los Broncos, as well as its Quellaveco copper project in Peru.

Meanwhile, Anglo American’s De Beers plans additional investment into promoting diamonds in the United States and China, as demand appears to be weakening. According to De Beers CEO Philippe Mellier, “This will help to stimulate downstream demand for polished diamonds and create renewed momentum in the diamond sector at a crucial point in the year.” Also, the Company announced it has cut diamond prices by as much as 9% owing to the weakening demand, according to reports.
Gold Standard Ventures Corp. (GSV-V) announced it has begun its second phase of drilling at the Pinion and Dark Star oxide gold deposits in the Carlin Trend, Nevada. The second phase of the 2015 exploration program will focus on the most promising near-term targets that emerged in Phase 1, with the aim of adding oxide gold resources at Pinion and Dark Star. Phase 2 will also test additional targets that have been identified over the past year. In addition, bottle-roll tests will be completed in Phase 2, as a follow-up to cyanide-soluble-recovery results, which averaged 82.4% in oxidized multilithic dissolution collapse breccia, the main gold host at Pinion.
DuSolo Fertilizers Inc. (DSF-V) announced a corporate update, whereby the Company commented on the soft market conditions for Direct Application Natural Fertilizer (DANF), which have led to lower than expected DANF sales. New CEO Darren Bowden stated, “In light of the current market conditions in Brazil, and the effect it has had on the Company’s performance, DuSolo’s new board and management have undertaken a strategic review of all operations. … In the coming months, the Company plans to implement a number of sales and production strategies in an attempt to increase revenues, while managing its production costs. According to the Company, “DuSolo’s long-term focus remains unchanged, as we continue to build the Company into a domestic Brazilian phosphate producer.” Strategic initiatives will include the drawdown of a recently announced credit facility, the reconfiguration of the Bomfim processing plant, and alternative sales strategies, including forward sales contracts and expanding sales into other parts of Brazil.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Canadian miners Teck Resources (TCK.A-T) and Goldcorp (G-T) announced a joint-venture partnership whereby neighbouring projects in Chile will be combined, which will likely see significantly lower development costs. The two projects, El Moroo (Goldcorp) and Relincho (Teck) , will be a 50:50 venture, and combined, will now require ~US$3.5 billion, well below the standalone development costs of the El Morro and Relincho projects announced previously, which were $3.9 billion and $4.5 billion respectively. The Companies estimate that Corridor will have a 32-year lifespan and produce an average of 190,000 tonnes of copper and 315,000 ounces of gold per year, over the first decade. Meanwhile, Goldcorp signed an agreement to acquire New Gold Inc.'s (NGD-T) 30% interest in the El Morro copper-gold project in Chile, by paying US$90 million and a 4% stream on future gold production from the property.
Financings
Kootenay Silver Inc. (KTN-V) announced it has closed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement for $1.075 million, which comprises a total of 3.59 million common shares for $0.30 per share, plus a purchase warrant priced at $0.55 per share for a period of 2 years. The net proceeds from the private placement will be used to finance additional work on Kootenay’s Promontorio property, which includes the new La Negra Breccia discovery, and its other properties, and for general working capital.

Rating Structure
Each company within an analyst’s universe, or group of companies covered, is assigned: (i) a recommendation or rating, usually BUY, HOLD, or SELL; (ii) a 12 month target price, which represents an analyst’s current assessment of a company’s potential stock price over the next year; (iii) an overall risk rating which represents an analyst’s assessment of the company’s overall investment risk; and (iv) specific risk ratings or risk profile parameters which in their aggregate support an analyst’s overall risk rating. These ratings are more fully explained below. Before acting on our recommendation we caution you to confer with your Haywood investment advisor to determine the suitability of our recommendation for your specific investment objectives, risk tolerance and investment time horizon.
Recommendation Rating
BUY – The analyst believes that the security will outperform other companies in their sector on a risk adjusted basis or for the reasons stated in the research report the analyst believes that the security is deserving of a (continued) BUY rating.
HOLD – The analyst believes that the security is expected to perform in line with other companies in their sector on a risk adjusted basis or for the reasons stated in the research report the analyst believes that the security is deserving of a (continued) HOLD rating.
SELL – Investors are advised to sell the security or hold alternative securities within the sector. Stocks in this category are expected to under-perform other companies on a risk adjusted basis or for the reasons stated in the research report the analyst believes that the security is deserving of a (continued) SELL rating.
TENDER – The analyst is recommending that investors tender to a specific offering for the company’s stock.
RESEARCH COMMENT – An analyst comment about an issuer event that does not include a rating or recommendation.
UNDER REVIEW – Placing a stock Under Review does not revise the current rating or recommendation of the analyst. A stock will be placed Under Review when the relevant company has a significant material event with further information pending or to be announced. An analyst will place a stock Under Review while he/she awaits sufficient information to re-evaluate the company’s financial situation.

COVERAGE DROPPED – Haywood Securities will no longer cover the issuer. Haywood will provide notice to clients whenever coverage of an issuer is discontinued.
Haywood’s focus is to search for undervalued companies which analysts believe may achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns. This research coverage on potentially undervalued companies may result in an outweighed percentage of companies rated as BUY. Management regularly reviews rating and targets in all sectors to ensure fairness and accuracy.
For further information on Haywood Securities’ research dissemination policies, please visit: http://www.haywood.com/research_dissemination.asp
Overall Risk Rating Very High Risk: Venture type companies or more established micro, small, mid or large cap companies whose risk profile parameters and/or lack of liquidity warrant such a designation. These companies are only appropriate for investors who have a very high tolerance for risk and volatility and who are capable of incurring temporary or permanent loss of a very significant portion of their investment capital.
High Risk: Typically micro or small cap companies which have an above average investment risk relative to more established or mid to large cap companies. These companies will generally not form part of the broad senior stock market indices and often will have less liquidity than more established mid and large cap companies. These companies are only appropriate for investors who have a high tolerance for risk and volatility and who are capable of incurring a temporary or permanent loss of a significant loss of their investment capital.
Medium-High Risk: Typically mid to large cap companies that have a medium to high investment risk. These companies will often form part of the broader senior stock market indices or sector specific indices. These companies are only appropriate for investors who have a medium to high tolerance for risk and volatility and who are prepared to accept general stock market risk including the risk of a temporary or permanent loss of some of their investment capital
Moderate Risk: Large to very large cap companies with established earnings who have a track record of lower volatility when compared against the broad senior stock market indices. These companies are only appropriate for investors who have a medium tolerance for risk and volatility and who are prepared to accept general stock market risk including the risk of a temporary or permanent loss of some of their investment capital.
Risk Profile Parameters – Mining and Minerals Sector Forecast Risk: High (7-10) – The Company’s primary project(s) is at an earlier stage of exploration and/or resource delineation whereby grades, tonnages, capital and operating costs, and other economic/operational parameters are not yet reliably established. Moderate (4-6) – The Company has taken steps to de-risk its primary producing, or soon to be producing project(s) and has established reasonably reliable operational and economic parameters. Low (1-3) – The Company has de-risked the majority of its primary project(s) through operational history and established production profile(s).
Financial Risk: High (7-10) – The Company’s near- and medium-term (capital) expenditure considerations, including the current year or next forecast year, are not fully funded through a combination of established debt facilities, cash on hand, and/or anticipated cash flow from existing operations—successful project execution depends, in part, on future (equity) financing(s). Existing and/or forecast levels of leverage are above average relative to the Company’s peer group. The risk of a significant capital cost overrun(s) is high given the early stage of project development. Moderate (4-6) – The Company’s near-term (capital) expenditure program, in the current year or next forecast year, is fully funded through a combination of established debt facilities, cash on hand, and/or anticipated cash flow from existing operations. Medium-term funding requirements will likely require additional financing consideration, but should be achievable assuming no significant uncontrollable events impede access to capital. Existing and/or forecast levels of leverage are in-line with the Company’s peer group. The risk of a significant capital cost overrun(s) is moderate given the advanced stage of project development. Low (1-3) – the Company’s near- and medium-term (capital) expenditure program is fully funded through a combination of established debt facilities, cash on hand, and/or anticipated cash flow from existing operations. Existing and/or forecast levels of leverage are below average relative to the Company’s peer group.
The Weekly Dig 8/28/15
Haywood Mining [email protected] Page 35
Valuation Risk: High (7-10) – The current valuation is at a premium to peers. The valuation reflects considerable future exploration success and/or commodity appreciation. Where applicable, the current capitalization exceeds the “DCF” evaluation by more than 50%. Moderate (4-6) – The current valuation is within historic ranges and generally consistent with peers. The valuation reflects reasonable exploration success and/or commodity appreciation. Where applicable, the current capitalization exceeds the DCF valuation by 15% to 50%. Low (1-3) – The current valuation is at the low end of historic ranges and at a discount to peer valuations. The valuation reflects limited new exploration success and no commodity appreciation. Where applicable, the current capitalization exceeds the DCF valuation by less than 15% or falls below the current market value.
Political Risk: High (7-10) –Obtaining permits is challenging. Properties are located in an area(s) with high geo-political uncertainty, limited access, and/or have significant new infrastructure requirements. Moderate (4-6) – Properties are located in an area(s) with moderate geo-political risk, reasonable or manageable access, and some established infrastructure. Low (1-3) – Properties are located in areas with a manageable geo-political risk profile and established access/infrastructure.
