BMO Capital Markets on Tuesday maintained its outperform rating on the shares of Centerra Gold (CG.TO, CGAU) while raising its price target to C$12.00 from C$11.00 after the company released a feasibility study for its U.S. molybdenum operations.
" The definitive feasibility study (DFS) for Centerra's molybdenum business unit (MBU) envisages restart of the Thompson Creek mine. The DFS highlights improved economics vs. the 2023 PFS, including a commercially optimized plan for the Langeloth metallurgical facility. While the MBU investment decision is unlikely to excite the gold-focussed investor, we believe the restart decision is the best outcome, given available alternatives, and offers a relatively low capital-intensive optionality to molybdenum prices and potential future complete/partial sale. We increase our target price to C$12.00/sh (from C$11.00/sh) and maintain our Outperform rating," analyst Raj Ray wrote.
