Investment summary

With gold currently trading at c US$1,375/oz, the spotlight is firmly on the companies that can operate sustainably at low costs. In this respect, Caledonia is centre stage with its 49%-owned Blanket gold mine in Zimbabwe. With cash costs under US$700/oz, q-o-q stable production, a dividend paid at least annually, and its indigenisation transaction successfully implemented, Caledonia has proved itself, via its quarterly production figures, as a consistent low-cost gold producer, albeit operating in a challenging political landscape.

Industry outlook

Caledonia’s Q113 gold production was 10,472oz, 11% down on Q412 (11,821oz) due to an early Easter holiday shortening the reporting period to only 84 days and gold grade normalising to the LOM average closer to 3.8g/t (NB Q412 production was predicated on an above-LOM head grade, resulting in record gold production for this quarter). We value Caledonia’s shares at C$2.06 (133p) at a 2013 gold price of US$1,448/oz and a US$1,675/oz long-term gold price.
