FVI: A Look Beneath the Surface of San Jose

BRIAN QUAST, CIBC World Markets Inc. (04/26/2010)
"Fortuna Silver released the results of a Pre-feasibility Study (PFS) for its San Jose project and, while input parameters from the study differed from our assumptions, the NAV value generated was only slightly lower than our expectations.

We believe the company has built in a considerable amount of conservatism into the San Jose PFS. Given Fortuna's track record of under-promising and over-delivering at Caylloma we are confident that the company will be able to extract value from San Jose in a similar fashion.

The San Jose project remains an important component to Fortuna's growth profile. Pre-construction activities for San Jose have already commenced and we believe there are ample opportunities to improve the economics of the project. We reiterate our Sector Outperformer rating."
