Accumulate

$1.65

23.13%

West African Resources delivered an interim net profit that exceeded Ord Minnett's expectations amid lower finance expenses and higher revenues.

The broker increases near-term depreciation charges to align with the first half run rate and defers some 2024 capital expenditure estimates.

Ord Minnett notes the investment case is predicated on the successful execution of the Kiaka project in Burkina Faso, with progress on track and funding sources appearing secure. Accumulate rating and $1.65 target.
