Stock of the Day – OZ Minerals (OZL)
OZL has reported an update resource and initial reserve estimate for its Malu underground deposit. The hew resource increases contained copper at Prominent Hill by around 78kt or 4%. The initial reserve will support nearly seven years of production at the Malu underground design mining rates of 1.6Mtpa. These parameters are largely as we had expected.

Malu underground is the depth extension of the main Prominent Hill open pit ore body. OZL is developing the Malu underground extension from existing underground infrastructure at the adjacent Ankata underground operation. The new development is expected to contribute around 4kt copper to OZL’s 2014 production guidance (75-80kt) and ramp up to 10-20kt copper from 2015-2025.

The draft Carrapateena pre feasibility study is currently undergoing internal review. OZL has previously advised that several parties interested in partnering in the Carrapateena/Khamsin project have signed confidentiality agreements and engaged in presentations and site visits. OZL has a 57,000m underground drill program for the Malu underground deposit in 2014. From this program the company expects to complete a further resource/reserve update by the end of the 2014 calendar year.

The delivery of the maiden reserve at Malu de-risks its development, which has been a concern to the market. Grades are in line to slightly higher than our expectations but are lower than those at the existing Ankata underground. Our cash cost estimates for CY15 and CY16 increase marginally as a result. Although it is slightly dilutive in the short term, it diversifies production risk and provides additional optionality over the long term. We believe the stock is expensive at its current price and would review the stock at a later date.
