SUE: Updating Our DCF to Reflect Revised Feasibility Study Targets
Event
We are updating our model to reflect the company’s targets for an upcoming feasibility study of Shahuindo (expected in calendar 3Q11). We are also taking this opportunity to update our model with the fiscal 3Q11 financial statements and upto-date
share structure (taking into
account recently
exercised warrants).

Action
We continue to recommend purchasing shares of Sulliden on our expectations for near-term resource expansion and rapid development (de-risking) of its 100%owned
Shahuindo project in northwest Peru.

Analysis
? Recent Share Price Weakness. SUE’s share price has come under some pressure recently as a large numbers of warrants are set to expire April 23
and May 8, 2011 and uncertainty over the outcome of the Peruvian General Elections (being held April 10) has raised concerns over the direction of the country’s geo-political policies. In the latest Ipsos Apoyo, Humala (a leftist) was statistically tied with Toledo at roughly 20%. As there is no clear front-runner with over 50% of the vote, the election is likely to end in a run-off prompting a second vote to be held on June 5 between the top two candidates.

? Changes to Our Model. We are revising certain modeled assumptions to better reflect Sulliden’s targets and our own expectations for an upcoming feasibility study on the project. In short, we are pushing back the start date to 3Q13 (from 3Q12), increasing throughput to 30,000 tpd (from 22,000 tpd), lowering the strip ratio to 0.60 (from 1.48) and increasing capex to $195 mln (from $162 mln). See the following page for further details on our changes.

? Going Forward. Our positive outlook for SUE remains intact and we view any recent share price weakness as an opportunity to further add to positions ahead of the updated resource estimate expected in late May. With over $45 mln in cash, we believe SUE is well financed to carry out its aggressive 70,000 m drill program and feasibility study.

Valuation
We are maintaining our Strong Buy rating but lowering our target to $3.20 (from $3.30). Our $3.20 target price is based on a cash-adjusted 1.2x P/NAV multiple applied to our NAVPS estimate of C$2.76 (from $2.87). Our lower NAVPS estimate reflects recent changes to our model and our 1.2x multiple reflects our view of Sulliden’s potential for near-term resource expansion and low-cost heap leach operations.

Further Details on Changes to Our Model
? Pushing Back Start Date. We are pushing back our start date for Shahuindo to calendar 2Q13 (from 2Q12) to reflect the delay of an updated resource estimate (now expected May-2011) and feasibility study (now expected calendar 3Q11). The company opted to postpone the release of both reports until after the Peruvian elections in order to avoid making the project a topic of political debate.
? Capital Requirements. We are increasing our capital cost estimate to US$162 mln (from US$127 mln) to better reflect SUE’s new feasibility study target of US$150 mln – US$180 mln. Recall, the Shahuindo PEA had an estimated capex of US$89 mln.
? Throughput Rate. We are increasing our throughput rate to 30,000 tpd (from 22,000 tpd), which we believe better reflects the optimal mining rate and subsequent mine life (10 years) for a deposit of Shahuindo’s size. We now forecast annual production of ~185,000 ounces AuEq (from ~136,000 ounces AuEq).
? Lowering Strip Ratio. Recent drilling has demonstrated that a large amount of material that was previously recorded as waste can now be mined as ore (albeit at a lower grade than our current model). We are lowering our average strip ratio to 0.60 (from 1.48) and adjusting our modeled resource to reflect the change. We now model 100.0 mln tonnes grading 0.65 g/t or 2.08 mln ounces (from 93.0 mln tonnes grading 0.69 g/t or 2.05 mln ounces). Our model now generates LOM total cash costs of US$343/oz (from US$318/oz).

Ratings and Definitions
Raymond James Ltd. (Canada) definitions Strong Buy (SB1) The stock is expected to appreciate and produce a total return of at least 15% and outperform the
S&P/TSX Composite Index over the next six months. Outperform (MO2) The stock is expected to appreciate and outperform the S&P/TSX Composite Index over the next twelve months. Market Perform (MP3) The stock is expected to perform generally in line with the S&P/TSX Composite Index over the next twelve months and is potentially a source of funds for more highly rated securities. Underperform (MU4) The stock is expected to underperform the S&P/TSX Composite Index or its sector over the next six to twelve months and should be sold.
Raymond James & Associates (U.S.) definitions Strong Buy (SB1) Expected to appreciate, produce a total return of at least 15%, and outperform the S&P 500 over the next
six to 12 months. For higher yielding and more conservative equities, such as REITs and certain MLPs, a total return of at least 15% is expected to be realized over the next 12 months. Outperform (MO2) Expected to appreciate and outperform the S&P 500 over the next 12-18 months. For higher yielding and more conservative equities, such as REITs and certain MLPs, an Outperform rating is used for securities where we are comfortable with the relative safety of the dividend and expect a total return modestly exceeding the dividend yield over the next 12-18 months. Market Perform (MP3) Expected to perform generally in line with the S&P 500 over the next 12 months. Underperform (MU4) Expected to underperform the S&P 500 or its sector over the next six to 12 months and should be sold. Suspended (S) The rating and price target have been suspended temporarily. This action may be due to market events that made coverage impracticable, or to comply with applicable regulations or firm policies in certain circumstances, including when Raymond James may be providing investment banking services to the company.

Risk Factors
General Risk Factors: Following are some general risk factors that pertain to the projected target prices included on Raymond James research: (1) Industry fundamentals with respect to customer demand or product / service pricing could change and adversely impact expected revenues and earnings; (2) Issues relating to major competitors or market shares or new product expectations could change investor attitudes toward the sector or this stock; (3) Unforeseen developments with respect to the management, financial condition or accounting policies or practices could alter the prospective valuation; or (4) External factors that affect the U.S. economy, interest rates, the U.S. dollar or major segments of the economy could alter investor confidence and investment prospects. International investments involve additional risks such as currency fluctuations, differing financial accounting standards, and possible political and economic instability.
Risks - Sulliden Gold Corp. Exploration Risk. Our outlook on SUE hinges on continued exploration success at Shahuindo. There is a risk that future drilling yields only weak mineralization and that the deposit does not expand. Decline in the Price of Gold. A drop in the price of gold could cause investors and creditors to become disenchanted with the commodity, which would make it difficult for SUE to secure further financing. Resource Risk. Our model assumes an oxide resource of 93.0 Mt grading 0.69 g/t Au or 2.05 Moz Au. There is risk that grades reported from future drilling are lower than the average grade we have assumed for the deposit. Capital Requirements. The company has sufficient funds to complete its 2010 work program, however further market decline could make it difficult for the company to raise the capital required for project construction. Surface Rights Acquisition. Sulliden requires additional surface rights to build a mine. The company estimates approximately 1,200 ha are required for the pit, waste dumps, leach pads and plant. The acquisition process is on-going and we believe the company has secured over 700 ha. The ground is primarily used for grazing, so we expect the acquisition by out right purchase and/or land swaps is achievable. Permits. An Environmental Impact Assessment is required for production. Although preliminary work has been completed (required for the Category II Permit) and baseline studies have commenced, additional detailed studies remain to be completed. Additional permits include Mine Closure Plan, Certificate for the Inexistence of Archaeological Remains, Beneficiation Certificate (required prior to extraction and processing), Water Usage, District and Provincial municipality licenses, construction and operational permits, etc. Any delays or denials would adversely affect the project. Metallurgy. To date, recoveries have been estimated based on results from bulk samples taken from surface showings across the property. In 2010, eight PQ drill holes were completed to provide metallurgical samples. The results are pending but adverse recoveries would decrease the metal production and valuation of the company.
