Canaccord did not alter their FY guidance of 78,000 ounces and highlighted the available liquidity, which is around C$550m as a strong point.
On the other hand, Bank of Montreal highlights their royalty portfolio as a technical strength but says the nature of this model makes it longer-dated and that the asset turnaround stories will come. As for estimates and forecasts, BMO noted that due to the miss in terms of ounces, they lowered their FY2020 revenue projection from C$233 million to C$199 million. Still, their EBITDA estimate has gone up because they removed their San Ramon asset from the forecast.
