MIN - MINERAL RESOURCES LIMITED

Macquarie rates MIN as Outperform (1) - Mineral Resources has a gas discovery at North Erregulla Deep-1, at the northern section of the Perth Basin. Plans are underway to conduct a composition and flow test. Meanwhile, the Mount Marion exploration program to date supports a potential for open cut extensions and underground mining.

FY23 spodumene shipments at Mount Marion have been lowered because of timing. An update on the ramp up at Wodgina and progress on the Onslow iron ore project present the near-term catalysts, Macquarie notes.

Mineral Resources has also agreed with Ganfeng to terminate the tolling agreement from June 1 2023, which will be value accretive for the former in the near term, the broker adds.

Target is reduced to $109 from $113. Outperform maintained.
