Golden moment: Russian gold miners set to benefit

Gold price has room for further growth. We reiterate our positive outlook on gold and the gold mining industry due to an increasing global shift to gold as a safe haven. Although the active phase of the global fi- nancial crisis is over, investors are still concerned about the fate of the dollar as a major reserve currency and increasing inflationary risks, and are looking for an ultimate store of value, which gold is. We believe that this process is far from over and that the gold price has not yet reached its peak. Gold-price growth will be intensified further by the limited gold supply from mines and active buying by emerging market central banks, as well as by sustainably strong investment demand and recovering jew- ellery demand from China and India. We expect an average gold price of $1,450/oz in 2011 and $1,500/oz in 2012.
Our top sector picks: the three Ps. Among Russian gold stocks, we have Buy recommendations on Polyus Gold (PLZL LI - Buy, $86/share target price or $43/ADR), as the name is set to benefit from rising output and improving costs next year; Petropav- lovsk (POG LN - Buy, $22/share target), which disappointed this year, but has a more achievable and less risky production plan for 2011 compared to the challenging 2010; and Polymetal which we upgraded from Hold to a Buy (PMTL LI - Buy, $20/share target), given its growth momentum in 2011E and strong silver prices. We remain cautious and have a Hold recommendation on Highland Gold (HGM LI - Hold, $3.2/share target) due to its uncertain long-term prospects, while we have withdrawn our rec- ommendation and target price for KazakhGold, as its share price currently has nothing to do with its fundamentals, but rather with the ongoing shareholder conflict. We initiated coverage on High River Gold (HRG CN) with $1.4/share target price and Hold rating due to the expected absence of output growth.
