Fundamental Research Corp – Canada’s largest independent research house – has updated their research on White Rock. They have now factored in the recent expansion of White Rock’s high-grade silver-rich zinc Vendor Management System (VMS) project at Red Mountain in Alaska, and its recent high-grade gold hits at Morning Star in Victoria, and reiterated their valuation of A$0.90 (versus last traded of $0.20).
The analysts, Sid Rajeev, B.Tech, CFA, MBA, and Nina Rose Coderis, BSc (Geology), wrote: “We believe Red Mountain’s resource is one of the highest-grade silver-zinc VMS deposits in the world“, and on Morning Star that “Due to the project’s existing infrastructure, White Rock should be able to put the project back into production quickly after delineating a resource“.
