Seabridge Gold Inc. (SEA:TSX; SA:NYSE.MKT) released the results of its 10-hole drill program conducted at its Iskut project last year, and they were "encouraging," ROTH Capital Partners analyst Joe Reagor noted in a Jan. 9 research report. One exemplary intercept was 174.4 meters of 0.86 grams per ton gold and 0.34% copper.
"We believe this drill program was supportive of management's belief that a porphyry deposit exists at depth on the project and of our inclusion of an US$88 million valuation for the project," Reagor wrote.
Company Model Updated
The analyst also reported ROTH updated its model for the gold resource company, and this resulted in a decreased target price. The new target is US$36 per share, down from US$37, and in comparison, Seabridge's current share price is US$18.30. ROTH, however, maintained its Buy rating on the Canadian explorer.
The changes made to the model, according to Reagor, were:
- Pushing back by one year to Q4/23 the timing of a joint venture announcement and start of mining at Seabridge's KSM project
- Moving discounted cash flow to 2023 from 2022
- Updating dilution assumptions for Seabridge's current market valuation
- Updating the U.S. to Canadian dollar exchange ratio to 1.34:1.
