MCO's Maxwell Reef

JOHN WILSON, Resource Capital Research (06/30/2010)
"MCO plans to produce 15,000–25,000 oz. pa Au from its gravity plant at the Morning Star Mine, commencing Q310. First production from the Maxwell Reef could run to 55g/t Au. Regional exploration is ramping up, with drilling underway at the All Nations prospect. . .Mining grades from Maxwell Reef are well in excess of the Morning Star resource—a possible 55g/t Au head grade from the first stope would be a good start to production proper. Gearing up to a 30,000–50,000 tpa operation in H210 should see gold output in the range 15,000–25,000 oz. pa or higher. Opex should be ~AUD$600/oz. giving solid margins. We repeat our assertion of Q110, which is, if MCO can continue to achieve predicted grades and start milling on schedule, a share price re-rating is expected. Regional holdings have potential to provide a 3–4 Moz. resource base."
