Are there two world class deposits at Iska Iska?

Further exploration drilling focusing on tin is planned to confirm recent findings of significant tin intersections at Eloro’s Iska Iska project. Should the discovery of a tin porphyry be confirmed, Eloro Resources would not only have one but two genetically related deposit types on the same property: a silver-zinc-lead dominant system and a high-grade tin system. Notwithstanding this potential, our valuation continues to be based solely on the shallow, higher-grade resource in the polymetallic domain, totalling 132 million tonnes at 1.11% Zn, 0.50% Pb, and 24.3 g Ag/t, as outlined in the NI 43-101 MRE published in October 2023. Applying current market prices and a P/NAV discount of 70%, which we consider reasonable, we calculate a net asset value-driven price target of CAD 12.40 per Eloro share. We therefore reiterate our Buy rating for the shares of Eloro Resources. We consider the current pullback in the company’s share price an interesting entry point for long-term investors, as it was caused, among other factors, by erratic analyst downgrades and misconceptions about the intrinsic value of the Iska Iska project. We highlight that our price target could increase further once the recently reported higher tin and silver grades have been included in a planned PEA.
