GMP Reinitiates Coverage of RBY

CRAIG WEST, GMP Securities LP. (01/20/2010)
"We are re-initiating coverage of Rubicon due to analyst departure and extended period of research restriction associated with the Q4'09 equity financing.

With completion of its C$86.3M financing in Nov'09, expanded exploration plans, including a 120,000 meter drill program at Phoenix, are well funded.

Exploration at Phoenix has been very successful over the past year. We estimate that drilling to date has delineated 5–6Moz. We see good potential for this to grow to 6–8Moz with drilling over the next year.

With Phoenix growing into a world-class high-grade deposit, we see RMX as a potential acquisition target.

Our new C$6.50 target is supported by $/oz and preliminary DCF valuation methodologies. We re-initiate coverage with a BUY recommendation."
