Equinox Gold: Mercedes Mine Sale Was “A Favourable Sale Price For A Non-Core Asset”

On December 17th, Equinox Gold (TSX: EQX) announced that they reached an agreement to sell their Mercedes Gold Mine for US$125 million and a 2% net smelter return. The deal consists of $100 million in cash and 24,730,000 shares of Bear Creek, worth roughly $25 million.

Equinox Gold currently has 12 analysts covering the stock with an average 12-month price target of C$14.54, or an 80% upside to the current stock price. Out of the 12 analysts covering the stock, 1 analyst has a strong buy rating, 9 have buy ratings and 2 analysts have hold ratings. The street high sits at C$20.00 from Stifel-GMP while the lowest comes in at C$11.75.

In Haywood Capital Markets’ note, they reiterated their buy rating on the name but lowered their 12-month price target to C$15.75 from C$16.00, saying, “A favourable sale price for a non-core asset.” Haywood said that this price was very reasonable since they valued the mine at US$128 million using US$1,800 per ounce gold prices.

For the impact on Equinox’s 2022 production, Haywood says that the mine was expected to produce roughly 45,000 ounces in 2022, or almost 6% of the companies overall production. While the mine contributed roughly 13% of the companies total income from operations and 9% of the companies cash flow.

Due to this, Haywood had to lower some of its estimates, leading to the price target cut. Below you can see their updated estimates.
