Outperform

$2.80

26.13%

West African Resources pre-released most of the March quarter production numbers, with gold at 50koz and sales of 48koz at an average sales price of US$2,832/oz, while Macquarie highlights all-in sustaining costs of US$1,262/oz came in much better than anticipated by 11%.

Increased spending at the Kiaka development lifted net debt to $128m, some $68m more than expected, and around $75m is required to achieve first gold, the analyst explains.

Management's 2025 guidance came in at gold production of 190–210koz from Sanbrado, with consensus at 198koz, and all-in sustaining costs of over US$1,350/oz. The broker notes 1Q25 production is around 25% at the midpoint.

Group production guidance of 290–360koz for 2025 includes a contribution from Kiaka, which is anticipated to start in 2H25.

No change to the Outperform rating. Target price increases by 4% to $2.80. EPS forecasts are raised slightly.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 5.00 cents and EPS of 33.30 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 19.00 cents and EPS of 49.20 cents.

Buy

$4.30

93.69%

As suspected by Canaccord Genuity, the government of Burkina Faso's August 2024 mining code that lifts its equity interest in mining projects to 15% from 10%, applies to both existing and new projects.

West African Resources previously assumed it would be applicable to new projects only and wouldn't affect its three current operating projects -- Sanbrado, Toega and Kiaka.

The government's additional interest has resulted in a cut to the broker's earnings forecasts and a -5.5% decrease in overall risked valuation estimate.

Target cut to $4.30 from $4.55. Buy retained.

FORECAST
Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 25.00 cents.
Canaccord Genuity forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 10.00 cents and EPS of 52.00 cents.
