Rubicon – Proving up Discovery

ANDREW KAIP, BMO Capital Markets (05/28/2009)
"RMX, at a pre-resource stage, has made a significant new high-grade gold discovery, which BMO Research estimates has achieved 1.5Moz of gold potential.

Given existing infrastructure, RMX is well placed to fast track production to a potential 100koz per annum at lower quartile cash costs.

At the discovery stage, RMX's premium valuation is not unrealistic, with near-term news flow critical in assessing upside to BMO's valuation.

RMX is trading at 2.2x the 10% nominal NPV of US$0.90/share, using the BMO metal price forecast, and 1.6x the 10% nominal NPV using a spot gold price of $957/oz. A premium valuation to BMO Research's NPV reflects the discovery stage and high-grade potential of the Phoenix project.

BMO Research rates RMX Market Perform (Speculative)."
