RBC Capital Markets Maintains OceanaGold's Outperform Rating, C$78 Price Target
RBC Capital Markets reiterated OceanaGold's (OGC.TO) outperform rating and C$78 price target, according to a Wednesday note.RBC's recent visit to OceanaGold's Haile gold mine in South Carolina reinforced its outlook on the asset as the cornerstone of the miner's near-term growth and free cash flow generation.The visit highlighted meaningful improvements in the mine's operational execution and progress in its underground transition, RBC said.The shift is expected to stabilize Haile's production profile of 210,000 ounces per year through 2031.Ongoing exploration success can backfill the reserve-based step-down and maintain 200,000 ounces per year of production through continued conversion and extension drilling, RBC said."We believe OceanaGold offers attractive leverage to gold through a diversified production base, with Haile as the cornerstone asset, translating elevated prices into outsized free cash flow and share buybacks," RBC said.OceanaGold traded at $41.14 per share at last look Wednesday on the Toronto Stock Exchange.Price: $41.06, Change: $+0.29, Percent Change: +0.71%
