Coverage Initiated on Gold-Silver Miner with 'Significant Upside,' 'Compelling Investor Appeal'
Research Report

A CIBC report provided the rationale for adding this Canadian company to its covered stocks.

In a Sept. 5 research note, analyst Bryce Adams reported that CIBC initiated coverage on Osisko Mining Inc. (OSK:TSX) with an Outperformer rating and a price target of CA$2.50 per share. The company is currently trading at around CA$2.34 per share.

Adams reviewed the company's high-quality merits. One, he said, is that the miner's Windfall project offers "significant upside well beyond the conservative preliminary economic assessment (PEA)" and CIBC's base case using spot prices, which offers a NAV5% of CA$318 million.

Upside at Windfall could come in the form of grade and/or tonnage, explained Adams, both of which are near-term catalysts. "Our NPV5% would increase by roughly 80% in our upside scenario," Adams indicated.

The way the grade was estimated in the PEA "limited the area of influence of mineralized intersections." Thus, the additional infill drilling that now is underway could result in a roughly 15% higher resource grade.

As for tonnage, the use of narrower, less than 3.5 meters wide stopes, which were excluded from the PEA, could "nearly double the mineable resource," Adams noted. Further, exploration drilling would also likely increase its size.

Along with Windfall's "significant resource upside potential," Adams noted, its other "high-quality merits" are the moderate risk associated with it and the company's strong management team and its chances of being taken out, all of which "offer compelling investor appeal."
