based on the fundamentals

    I take a 1-year view with a target of c. 100-120c.

    Here is my rationale:

    Ore milled ~ 1.7m
    Grade (oxide) ~ 1.9g/t
    Recovery ~ 80%
    Therefore est recovered gold ~ 83,087 oz
    Sold into hedge ~ 24,624 oz
    Sold at spot ~ 54,463 oz
    (assuming average POG of US$950/oz over 2009)
    Revenue from hedge ~ US$17.2m
    Revenue from spot ~ US$55.5m (although reduced by PUT options)
    Therefore total sales ~ US72.7m
    Cash costs at US$401/oz ~ US$33.3m
    G&A ~ US$5m
    EBITDA ~ US$34.4m
    Tax charge ~ US7.3m
    Net earnings ~ US$27m
    EPS ~ US0.05
    (using PER of x15 - seems reasonable in comparison with peers)
    Target SP ~ US0.75 (ie AU$1.13 @ 0.66 forex rate)

    CAPEX ~ US$13m (but likely to increase with sulphide expansion).
    Cash at end of 2009 ~ US$32m (after recent placing).

    Reality is, of course, likely to be considerably at odds with above due to the vagaries of the market, POG volatility, cost of out-of-the-money PUTs, possible bid action, further results from oxide and sulphide resource expansion, Tabar drilling, et al.

    But it is the general ball-park target I prefer instead of the day-to-day trading 'noise'.
