Target price - overvie
ScotiaCapital has had analyst coverage on Northland Power Income Fund (NPI.TO), aSector perform recommendation and target price of CAD 15. Reuters says Scotiahas changed recommendation for a Northland company from Sector Perform andtarget CAD 15 to Sector Outperform and target CAD 16. It’s unknown that Scotiahas had analyst coverage on Northland Resources, and I suppose the Reuters newsshould be valid for Northland Power Income Fund, and not Northland Resources.
ParadigmResearch this week raised the target price for NAU to CAD 5.25 from CAD 4.
Below is anupdate of target price (mostly within 12 months) for NAU from the differentbrokerages according to what I have perceived of updated information.

Paretoupdate from March 17, 2011:
Withfinancing secured and development underway for the Kaunisvaara project, we viewNorthland Resources as a clear takeover candidate. Within the coming weeks, thecompany will issue important updates on the Hannukainen resources andKaunisvaara logistics, which we believe could contribute to derisk bothprojects further. We recommend to BUY (TP NOK 30)
Twoimportant updates expected over coming weeks
-Updated resource report for Hannukainen
-Kaunisvaara DFS update - logistics
Hannukainenresource expected to increase on higher price assumption
- Couldincrease from 110 Mt last year to 140-160 Mt
Kaunisvaaracash cost expected slightly up, but less than feared
- Highertrucking cost largely offset by other savings
Highvaluation upside
- TargetPrice NOK 30 based on long term price of USD 98/t
-Mark-to-market valuation NOK 98 per share
- Pricealready reflects risk of higher Kaunisvaara trucking costs, while increasedHannukainen resources should be a positive trigger
