Credit Suisse Initiates Coverage of DGC

RALPH PROFITI, Credit Suisse Securities (Canada) Inc. (07/27/2010)
"Our Canadian team has initiated coverage on. . .Detour Gold with an OUTPERFORM rating and target price of C$31.5. . .Detour's main asset, the Detour Lake project, is expected to commence production in 2013. We are forecasting LOM average production of 636 koz. at $523/oz., with the first three years at 639 koz. and $459/oz. With over 11 Moz. in reserves and over 21 Moz. in total resources, Detour has accumulated an impressive platform from which to develop into a notable mid-tier miner. With Detour's large reserve base, it trades as the cheapest company on an EV/oz. of reserves relative to its covered peers. As permits are acquired and more financing is arranged, we believe the valuation discount should narrow and a re-rating of the shares may occur. . .Detour currently trades at a P/NAV of 0.6xs, well below its producing peer average of 0.9xs and, in our view, the current share price represents a buying opportunity."
