GMP Raises Target on TGL

TOBY PIERCE, GMP Securities (09/14/2010)
"In August, TransGlobe's production averaged 10,204 boe/d—an 8.6% increase over July. Production during the first 12 days of September has averaged 10,644 boe/d. . .We estimate production for 2010 will be 10,080 boe/d. The exit rate for 2010 is expected to be ~11,000 boe/d.

We are maintaining our BUY rating and increasing our target price from CAD$9 to CAD$10.60 following early success in East Arta and operational efficiencies on the Hoshia and Arta blocks. We look to January when a reserve and resources report will be released, which, we believe, will include significant reserve additions. We continue to like the company based on its high level of activity, ability to execute its work program and well-balanced portfolio. Management has transformed the firm into a more balanced exploration, production and development story with a bigger focus on Egypt. We feel the stock is a BUY given that TransGlobe is self-funded with growing operations and has a diverse portfolio of low to medium risk appraisal and exploration opportunities in its Egyptian and Yemeni portfolio."
