Noble Capital upgrades Great Panther Mining to Outperform on 'improving risk and reward profile'
The analyst says operational issues at the Tucano mine will not negatively affect the company's long-term production profile
Analyst Mark Reichman noted that Great Panther's Tucano mine in Brazil performed better than expected in 4Q 2019
Noble Capital Markets has upgraded its investment rating on Great Panther Mining Limited (NYSEAMERICAN:GPL) (TSE:GPR) to Outperform based on “an improving risk and reward profile.”
In a note to investors, analyst Mark Reichman pointed out that Great Panther’s fourth-quarter production increased 275.7% to 44,697 gold equivalent ounces versus the prior-year period and decreased 5.7% compared to the third quarter of 2019. The increase in gold production reflects the acquisition of the Tucano Gold Mine in Brazil in March 2019.
He also said 4Q gold production from the Tucano mine exceeded the recent guidance range of 31,000 to 33,000 ounces with the production of 34,181 ounces.
“Management has moved swiftly to strengthen its management team with key appointments across several functional areas, including operations, finance and administration,” Reichman wrote.
