MT Newswires Live01:32

BMO Capital Markets on Wednesday reiterated its outperform rating on the shares of Silvercorp Metals (SVM.TO, SVM) while raising its price target to C$19.50 from an undisclosed prior level after the company agreed to take a majority stake in the Tulkubash and Kyzyltash gold projects in Kyrgyzstan.

"Silvercorp is acquiring a 70% stake in the Tulkubash and Kyzyltash gold projects in Kyrgyzstan from Chaarat Gold in an all-cash, $162M deal. The projects offer near-term development potential and a long production life, with a combined M&I gold resource of 4.4Moz and production as early as 2027/2028. While Kyrgyzstan is a historically risky mining jurisdiction, we are cautiously favourable on the acquisition given the strong economics and the alignment between SVM and the Kyrgyz government on the project. Our $493M project NAV raises our target to $19.50," analyst Kevin O'Halloran wrote.
