Broker Rating Changes (Post Thursday Last Week)

Downgrade

CALIDUS RESOURCES LIMITED ((CAI)) Downgrade to Hold from Speculative Buy by Canaccord Genuity.B/H/S: 0/0/0

Following challenges in grade reconciliation at the Warrawoona Gold project in WA, management at Calidus Resources has revised reserves and resources. Canaccord Genuity notes this project has disappointed since operations began in mid-2022.

The overall resource estimate has been decreased by -16% or 260koz compared to the September 2022 update while the reserve estimate has fallen by -37%. 

In some good news, the overall reserve grade has jumped to 2.1g/t Au from 1.4g/t Au, which the broker suggests will provide a
buffer should reconciliation or dilution issues persist.

Canaccord Genuity now risks its valuation 50% in line with other struggling early-stage producers under coverage and the target falls to 15c from 65c.

The rating is also lowered to Hold from Speculative Buy on valuation.
