Valuation Methodology: Price/Earnings Per Share Multiple Based Relative Valuation

Stock Recommendation:

In 2022, BTG will continue to pursue sulphide mineralization beneath the saprolite deposits at the Mamba, Adder, and numerous additional locations. The 52-week high and low of the stock is USD 5.37 and USD 3.30, respectively. Considering the correction of 18.48% in the stock price in the past nine months, growth in revenues, strong cash position, new exploration permits, current valuation, and associated risks, we recommend a "Hold" rating on the stock at the closing price of USD 4.19, up 3.97% as of March 01, 2022. Markets are trading in a highly volatile zone currently due to certain macro-economic and geopolitical tensions prevailing.
