WHAT GOLD PRICE ARE EQUITIES DISCOUNTING?


Figure 7 highlights the gold prices implied by market valuations for individual equities,
based on the current share price and assuming a reversion to the 52-week average P/NAV
multiple (5%/spot gold). We continue to believe that equities are inexpensive relative to the
gold price and to historical trading multiples, with the senior/intermediate names
discounting a $38/oz lower gold price on average ($1,546/oz versus spot price of
$1,584/oz).

IN THE NEWS
Avion Gold (AVR : TSX| BUY, Target C$1.75)
2012 guidance raised; mill
mill expansion back on the table

We maintain our BUY rating on Avion Gold following the announcement of increased
2012 guidance and plans to resume the previously suspended mill expansion by late
2012/early 2013. We continue to see substantial upside from further improvement in
the political situation in Mali, delivery of the Tabakoto expansion, and advancement of
the Kofi and Hounde projects.

Investment Highlights

• Despite the recent coup in Mali, operations at Tabakoto have been progressing with
minimal disruption. In addition, the political situation appears to have mostly
stabilized in the southern part of Mali (where Tabakoto is located) as a result of
which the Canadian government has lowered its travel warning advisory by one
level.

• Considering the improvement in the situation, management has indicated that the
temporarily suspended mill expansion is anticipated to resume in late 2012/early
2013. All parts and supplies required to complete the expansion have now arrived
at site. With the softening of government travel advisories, the company is in
negotiations with contractors and necessary parties to return to site.

• While the impact of the mill expansion is unlikely to be seen in 2012, strong
performance from the existing mill and from the Tabakoto underground mine
(higher than expected grades & recoveries and lower dilution) has prompted
management to increase 2012 production guidance to 95 – 102 koz from 90 – 100
koz. In our view, continued strong operating results from Tabakoto are a testament
to the team’s ability to successfully operate even in difficult environments.

• Our current 2012 production estimate of 98,000 oz was close to the high end of
previous guidance and is closer to the mid-point of revised guidance. Our valuation
and estimates had previously assumed completion of the mill expansion in H1/13
and a ramp-up to full capacity by the end of 2013. As such, there are no material
changes to our valuation and forecasts, but we believe the announcement by the
company should reassure investors regarding mill expansion timelines and the Mali
situation in general.

Valuation

Our 12-month target price remains unchanged at C$1.75/share based on 0.85x our
5%/peak NAVPS estimate of US$2.13/share translated assuming US$/C$ parity. The
shares currently trade at 0.30x P/NAV (5%/spot), a discount to the junior producer
average of 0.68x.

Upcoming Potential Catalysts

• Updates on the political situation in Mali (ongoing)

• Q2/12 operating results (potentially by mid-July)

• Resumption of the Tabakoto mill expansion (late 2012/early 2013)

• Preliminary Economic Assessment for Hounde (H2/12E)

Investment Risks

The typical risks associated with any mining investment include commodity and
exchange rate risks, as well as permitting and technical (development and operating)
risks. Investors considering investment in Avion Gold Corporation should also take into
account risks associated with the expansion project and underground ramp-up at
Tabakoto in addition to exploration and development risks associated with the Kofi and
Hounde projects. The recent coup in Mali and the advance of the Tuareg insurgents have
substantially increased Mali's political risk profile. While we remain optimistic about an
eventual restoration of political stability, there is no guarantee that the situation will
improve, no guarantee on how long it will take for political stability to be restored and
no guarantee that there will not be unfavourable changes to existing mining regulation.
In addition, the potential for delays in the completion of the proposed mill expansion
and underground ramp-up could adversely impact the company's financial position. As
such, an investment in Avion Gold is recommended only for investors with a higher
tolerance for risk and a longer time horizon.

Pan American Silver (PAAS : NASDAQ, PAA : TSX| HOLD, Target US$19.00)
Draft mining legislation could render Navidad uneconomic; removing project value

We are maintaining our HOLD rating on Pan American’s shares following a review of
proposed mining legislations in the province of Chubut, Argentina; affecting the
company’s Navidad project. Based on the terms of the proposed regulations, we have
conservatively removed all value for Navidad from our valuation.

Investment
Investment Highlights

• Proposed regulations include: 8% NSR (up from current 3% rate), a requirement for
Petrominera to receive no less than 4% of total sales and for Petrominera to receive
a 7% fully carried pre-tax interest. All amounts are to be paid to the province of
Chubut.

• The proposed regulations are in addition to the current 10% export duty payable on
concentrate sales and 35% income tax; both collected by the federal government.

• Under the assumption that the current draft regulations are passed, Pan American
Silver has deemed the project to be uneconomic. The proposed regulations are
estimated to reduce our 15%/peak valuation of Navidad by approximately 70%, and
given the company’s disclosure, we have conservatively removed all value for
Navidad in our valuation.

Valuation

We are revising our target price on Pan American Silver to US$19.00 from US$20.00
based on 0.75x our 5%/peak NAV estimate of US$25.05 (previously $26.88).

Investment Risks

The typical risks associated with any mining investment include commodity and
exchange rate risk, permitting and technical (development/operating) risk. The
company's results are most influenced by changes in silver and zinc prices. There is also
permitting/jurisdictional risk associated with the Navidad project in Chubut Province,
Argentina. Due to recent proposed mining legislations, we no longer ascribe any value to
Navidad. Due to recent proposed mining legislations, we no longer ascribe any value to
Navidad.

INK SPOTS
Canaccord Genuity employs an Insider News and Knowledge research database – INK
Research. This system reports, among other information, daily changes on insider
trading. We highlight recent changes below, noting that the acquisition or disposition of
a position is not to suggest that an insider is selling their entire position. Our intention is
not to evaluate or analyze any purchases or sales, but to note them for the interest of all
investors.

INK Research has created sector indices based on TSX sector definitions. The Gold and
Precious Metals sector indicator suggests that the ratio of buy volume to sell volume is
2.17:1, indicating a shift in balance towards net buying.
