AIM HMB.L

• Hambledon Mining has updated the market on the progress that it has been making at the Sekisovskoye gold mine in East Kazakhstan. It suggests that the mine is within two to three months of production. Work on the rehabilitation of the Ognyovka process plant has also commenced.

No of shares (m)

• The key area of concern at Sekisovskoye has been the ball mills, which were subject to about nine months of delays. The first mill is now on site and being fitted into the process plant. The second mill has been built and is now being shipped to site. When completed, the plant will need to apply for local operating approvals to ensure compliance with health and safety legislation. The length of time that this process will take is uncertain but it should not delay the start of the process plant for long.

Net cash (£m)

• Recent grade control drilling on the first bench that is scheduled to be mined has confirmed that overall tonnes and estimated grade has increased above that of the original resource. The 18% uplift to contained gold is in line with the earlier work which suggested that the Soviet results underestimated the grade by approximately 17%.

Next news Finals - 5 June

• Exploration elsewhere in the licence area has so far not yielded much success, albeit that some drilling has intersected low-grade mineralization. Additional work is scheduled here in order to determine if more consistent mineralization can be intersected at depth and further results should be available later in the year.

12 month high/low (p)

• While Sekisovskoye will be coming to production behind schedule, this should be offset by the start of output at the Ognyovka plant. Indeed, we estimate that the additional earnings that should be generated from that operation will more than offset the lower earnings from the mine. This means that the stock is trading on a prospective 2008 PER of only 3.5. • Against the US$138/oz of resource and US$5,778/oz of annual production paid by Kazakhmys for Eurasia Gold we estimate that Hambledon is currently on values US$34/oz and US$1,677/oz, respectively. While Eurasia’s rating reflected its restricted free float we believe that Hambledon should be trading at least at 3 times its current level. BUY.

Where prices of securities are mentioned, these are the mid-market prices as at the close-of-business on the business day immediately preceding the date of the research.
