Gold Roads – Buy

Gold Road Resources is now under Algo Engine buy conditions.

Gold Road anticipates gold production for the 2021 calendar year will be within the lower half of guidance (260,000 to 300,000 ounces on a 100% basis).

AISC for the 2021 calendar year is anticipated to be between $1,325 and $1,475 per attributable ounce, with lower June 2021 quarter production and higher maintenance and labour costs the main contributors to an increase from the guidance of between A$1,225 – A$1,350.

FY21 revenue forecast is for $300mil generating EBIT of $100mil.

Pexa – Accumulate

Pexa Group has helped transform conveyancing from a clunky paper-based process into a digital one. PXA was recently listed on the ASX with a market cap of $3bn.

FY21 underlying earnings are expected to double to $108 million, before rising a further 20% in FY22.

CBA & Link are major shareholders.

Northern Star – Buy

Northern Star Resources is under Algo Engine buy conditions and is our preferred gold exposure.

NST continues to deliver strong results in the June quarter. Group production finished with 450koz at $1460oz, (up 23%), whilst seeing costs come down almost 10%.

We continue to see the twin factors of a strong gold price and cost-saving, (post-merger with SAR), helping to support the share price.
