Cormark Raises Target on FVI

MATTHEW O'KEEFE, Cormark Securities Inc. (01/19/2010)
"Strong Q4 Production Results
Fortuna announced Q4/09 production results from its Caylloma mine, which were ahead of our estimates. During the quarter, the mine produced 449,449 oz of silver in concentrate ahead of our estimate of 415,000 oz. The company also released 2010 production guidance, which is in line with 2009 figures.

Definitive Quarter Ahead for San Jose Project
In Q1/10, Fortuna is expected to pass several major milestones on the San Jose production path, including the release of a pre-feasibility study and commencement of construction.

Reiterating Buy Recommendation, Increasing Target to C$3.25
Fortuna continues to prove itself as a solid mine operator with growth being fuelled by the addition of San Jose in 2011. Incorporating a lower discount rate of 7.5% on San Jose (previously 10.0%) as well as rolling our valuation forward to 2011, we are reiterating our Buy recommendation and increasing our target price to C$3.25 from C$2.40."
