Intel stock extends gains after report of possible U.S. government stake
On Wednesday, H.C. Wainwright analyst Heiko Ihle increased the price target on US Gold Corp (NASDAQ:USAU) to $14.00, up from $13.00, while maintaining a Buy rating on the company’s shares. Trading near its 52-week high of $9.62, the $112.26 million market cap company has seen its stock surge 164% over the past year. This adjustment followed the announcement of positive results from an updated Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) for US Gold Corp’s principal CK Gold Project.
The updated PFS, released yesterday, revealed that the CK Gold Project is projected to produce approximately 1.11 million gold equivalent ounces (GEOs) across its mine life. This equates to an average yearly output of around 111,250 GEOs over a 10-year span. Notably, production is expected to be higher during the initial three years, averaging 143,278 GEOs per annum. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets for the stock range from $10.00 to $23.50, reflecting varying degrees of confidence in the project’s potential.
The CK Gold Project’s life of mine production is currently estimated at 679,548 ounces of gold, 208.3 million pounds of copper, and 2.04 million ounces of silver. These figures are bolstered by the site’s Mineral Reserves, which amount to 1.67 million GEOs. These reserves support an eight-year mining operation and ten years of processing, including 1.02 million ounces of gold, 259.7 million pounds of copper, and 3.01 million ounces of silver.
The analyst’s decision to reiterate a Buy rating and raise the price target reflects the optimistic production estimates and the robust reserve figures for the CK Gold Project. The increased price target suggests confidence in the project’s potential and US Gold Corp’s ability to capitalize on it.
In other recent news, US Gold Corp has been the subject of positive developments. The company recently acquired the final permit necessary for the development of its principal CK Gold Project. This permit, issued by the Air Quality Division of the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, marks the third and final condition associated with the Surface Gold Mine Permit for the project. Following this key de-risking milestone, US Gold Corp is now positioned to transition from the permitting phase to the development stage. H.C. Wainwright, in response to these recent developments, has increased the price target for US Gold Corp from $11.00 to $13.00, while maintaining a Buy rating. Analysts highlight the project’s potential to generate substantial value for shareholders, given its strategic location and fully permitted status. The company anticipates that forthcoming advanced engineering and optimization studies will further support the project’s transition into the development phase.
