CI Capital Markets Raises Target on RBY

ELDON BROWN, Stonecap Securities (03/10/2010)
"Rubicon provided an exploration update for the F2 Zone at its Phoenix project in Red Lake. The update included additional drill results from F2, as well as detailed plan views of the company's interpretation of the gold mineralization at the 300 and 700 m levels defined through drilling completed to date.

We believe results from holes including F2-85 (1.0 m @ 15.6 g/t, 17.0 m @ 4.5 g/t incl. 1.1 m @ 41.7 g/t) to the NE support our assumption for an increased strike length for the F2 Zone up to 750 m from 700 m. The overall drill results continued to support our assumption of a higher-grade core at 19.0 g/t within the larger zone. With the strike extension our resource assumption has increased to 2.38 mm ounces from 2.22 mm, which when incorporated into our mine plan for the F2, raises our NAV to $3.43/sh from $3.30/sh previously.

We are raising our target price for Rubicon to $6.00/sh from $5.75/sh, based on our continued 1.75x multiple to our revised NAV of $3.43/sh. We continue to recommend Rubicon with a SECTOR OUTPERFORM."
