EL DORADO HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dutton Associates initiates its coverage of Royal Standard Minerals
(OTCBB:RYSMF) with a rating of Strong Speculative Buy and a target price
at $3.00. The 22-page report by Dutton senior analyst Mike Niehuser is
available at http://www.jmdutton.com as
well as from First Call, Bloomberg, Zacks, Reuters, Knobias, and other
leading financial portals.
Royal Standard Minerals has several advanced-stage projects in
gold-producing districts in Nevada. Management as been active in Nevada
for over 10 years and has put together one of the largest land positions
of any junior mining company in the state. Royal Standard’s
most advanced project, the Goldwedge Project, is near the
Kinross-Barrick Round Mountain Mine and is scheduled to move into
production in the next several months. The Company also has several
projects in Nevada’s Carlin Trend that are in
various stages of permitting and exploration. We are initiating coverage
of Royal Standard with a 12-month price target of $3.00 per share. This
value incorporates our estimations of the middle range of estimates for
the Company’s projects. As companies with
projects in various stages of development carry unique risks, and many
of our assumptions are speculative, we feel our target is reasonable. We
are certainly of the opinion that the market should respond favorably to
the Goldwedge project moving into production. We would expect that its
progress may overshadow permitting and exploration at the Railroad-Piñon
Project, but in the next 12 months, the Company and its projects will
enjoy a higher level of exposure and valuation. We are initiating
coverage with a Strong Speculative Buy recommendation. With successful
execution of the Company’s opportunities, our
target might prove conservative.
