For anyone still interested in this stock. My apology if it has already been posted: Goeple McDermid Pacific Rim Mining Corp. (PFG-T, $4.75) Recommendation: Accumulate Advancing an Exciting Gold Prospect in Peru 3-Month Target Price: $6.00 Mining HIGHLIGHTS - Pacific Rim has an option to earn a 100% interest in the Luicho property, a very early-stage gold prospect in Peru. Based on surface sample results, we believe the property has potential to host a multi-million ounce gold deposit. - The company is under the direction of top-tier management and directors, with proven expertise in finding, developing and operating mines. - Rock chip sampling has outlined an extensive area of gold mineralization at surface. The average grade of all 4,756 samples is 1.56 g/t gold, while 1,614 samples from the high-grade Central zone average 3.15 g/t. The grades, distribution, and nature of the gold mineralization are suggestive of potential for a large-scale, open- pitable gold deposit. - Our investment recommendation for Pacific Rim is ACCUMULATE, with a 3-month target price of $6.00 per share. As with all mineral exploration companies, Pacific Rim represents a speculative investment, as none of its properties have proven commercial value. The investment risk profile has increased due to the recent share price strength. Our ACCUMULATE rating is not a reflection of tempered enthusiasm for prospects on the Luicho property; it relates to the fact that the current stock price is already discounting the value of a 1-2 million ounce gold discovery on a property that has yet to be drill tested. While we recognize the property?s potential to host a deposit much larger than that, drill testing will be required to build confidence in that view.
