In 1H14, implied costs by cash flow statements were $1,195/oz for companies under coverage, a considerable $228/oz decrease from 1H13's $1,423/oz. Compared to average gold prices over the same period, margins have been stable at 7% (from $101/oz in 1H13 to $96/oz in 1H14). Of the $228/oz reduction in 1H costs, an overwhelming 75% of savings can be explained by $171/oz from reductions in sustaining capex. Other factors include savings of $53/oz from processing higher grade ore and $27/oz from lower taxes, offset by $38/oz from higher per tonne unit costs. Companies which have demonstrated the greatest cost improvement in 1H14 compared to 1H13 include IAMGOLD and Kinross, while those which have demonstrated the least improvement include Alamos and Primero. The lowest 1H14 cost producers have been Eldorado and Randgold, while the highest have been AuRico and Perseus. 2Q Yields Lower Earnings, 2H Guidance Updates & Upcoming Catalysts In 2Q14, companies under coverage reported earnings which decreased 54% year-over-year, largely explained by 9% lower gold prices and 3% higher total cash costs, offset by 1% higher production. Of the 17 producing companies which reported CY2Q14 earnings, 3 companies reported revised guidance which was stronger (Agnico Eagle, Barrick, and Eldorado), and 3 companies reported weaker revised guidance (Detour, DPM, and Yamana).

Year over year to September 1, the XAU gold index has decreased by 1%, comparing favourably to the prior year's 39% plunge. Although equity prices are largely unchanged from one year prior, material underlying corporate shifts have evolved in 1H14, analyzed on page 2-5. A review of 2Q results, guidance, and upcoming catalysts is provided on pages 6-12.

1H Fully Loaded Costs Down $228/oz, Predominantly Due to Capex Cuts

In conjunction with gold's precipitous decline in 2013, gold companies have realized material cost savings in 1H14, both from active cost cutting and from mine optimization and sequencing to accelerate cash flow.

In 1H14, implied costs by cash flow statements were $1,195/oz for companies under coverage, a considerable $228/oz decrease from 1H13's $1,423/oz. Compared to average gold prices over the same period, margins have been stable at 7% (from $101/oz in 1H13 to $96/oz in 1H14).

Of the $228/oz reduction in 1H costs, an overwhelming 75% of savings can be explained by $171/oz from reductions in sustaining capex. Other factors include savings of $53/oz from processing higher grade ore and $27/oz from lower taxes, offset by $38/oz from higher per tonne unit costs.

Companies which have demonstrated the greatest cost improvement in 1H14 compared to 1H13 include IAMGOLD and Kinross, while those which have demonstrated the least improvement include Alamos and Primero. The lowest 1H14 cost producers have been Eldorado and Randgold, while the highest have been AuRico and Perseus.

2Q Yields Lower Earnings, 2H Guidance Updates & Upcoming Catalysts

In 2Q14, companies under coverage reported earnings which decreased 54% year-over-year, largely explained by 9% lower gold prices and 3% higher total cash costs, offset by 1% higher production.

Of the 17 producing companies which reported CY2Q14 earnings, 3 companies reported revised guidance which was stronger (Agnico Eagle, Barrick, and Eldorado), and 3 companies reported weaker revised guidance (Detour, DPM, and Yamana). To achieve guidance, 9/17 companies are required to report a stronger 2H than 1H. While seasonal trends and mine ramp-ups explain a portion of this, we see the greatest pressure to deliver better results from Alamos and DPM, and the least pressure from Timmins, Kinross, AuRico, and Agnico.

Heading into a season of typically busier corporate activity and upcoming industry conferences, announcements are anticipated to increase. Companies where we expect meaningful catalysts to be delivered in 2H include Alamos, B2Gold, Goldcorp, IAMGOLD, Kirkland Lake, and Perseus.

A CHANGE IN GOLD PRICE HAS BRED FEAR, BUT ALSO OPPORTUNITY

In 2013, the gold price collapsed, having closed the year down 28% to $1,206/oz. With 2013 marking the first annual gold prices decrease in 12 years, reasonable and genuine concerns emerged related to profitability, growth plans, and even solvency in certain cases. Although gold prices have yet to materially rebound (currently $1,266/oz, +5% YTD), meaningful sector changes have occurred to accommodate operating in a lower gold price environment.

To better understand industry changes, Dundee evaluated gold producers under coverage which in total operated a combined 86 gold mines that generated output of 10.8 MMoz in 1H14, representing approximately 25% of industry production. When accounting for every cost of operating a mine which relates to cash flow, costs in 1H14 were $1,195/oz, a $228/oz decrease from 1H13's $1,423/oz. Overwhelmingly, cost savings have been driven by a considerable reduction in capital expenditure, resulting in a savings of $171/oz, which can be explained by lower incentives to invest in operations at lower gold prices as well as some genuine cost cutting, such as mine optimization. However, this also reflects deferred capital spending which is likely required to be spent in future periods. Other material factors affecting cost changes include 8% higher processed grades, resulting in a savings of $53/oz, and lower cash taxes paid, resulting in a savings of $27/oz. This is partially offset by 5% higher total per tonne unit costs, resulting in higher costs of $38/oz.

COST REVIEW & OUTLOOK

To avoid relying on inconsistencies included in All-In Sustaining Cost (AISC) reporting, Dundee analyzes reported cash flow statements to better understand the true costs of production by company and on a basis which is equally comparable. Below we outline the reported costs of production in 1H14 based on actual reported cash flow information, which we refer to as Sustaining Production Costs per ounce. Key conclusions we would highlight include:

The lowest cost producers in 1H14 have been Agnico Eagle, Eldorado, Randgold, and Timmins, both when accounting for and when excluding the impact of working capital adjustments.

AuRico, IAMGOLD, Perseus, and Primero have been the highest cost producers over this period, before working capital changes.

Of the 17 companies which have reported financial results, 13 reported costs in 2H14 which were lower than in 1H13, while 3 reported costs that were higher. The greatest demonstrated cost improvement in 1H14 from 1H13 has been realized by Kinross, Eldorado, and New Gold, all three of which are due to declining capital spending at operations. The greatest cost increase has occurred at Alamos (higher costs attributable to underground mining transition) and Primero (inclusion of higher cost Black Fox operations).

Calculating a Sustaining Production Cost estimate is useful to determine actual historical reported costs. To forecast future cost figures, Dundee utilizes an estimate called Fully Loaded Costs. Fully Loaded costs seek to accurately forecast the true free cash flow generation of a company's operating asset base. This figure incorporates all cash flow-related costs of production matched with the operating assets over that period, but excludes the impact of growth capital expenditure related strictly to new project development which contributes to growth. This method results in figures which are accurate and consistent, while also being comparable across our coverage universe.

Below we exhibit our Fully Loaded cost forecasts by company under coverage. Based on a Fully Loaded cost analysis, Dundee forecasts an improvement in costs under coverage, from $1,310/oz in 2013 to $1,190/oz in 2014 and $1,182/oz in 2015. Key conclusions we would highlight include:

The lowest cost producers over the 2014-2015 period are forecast to be Randgold, Goldcorp, B2Gold, Eldorado, and Agnico Eagle.

The highest cost producers over the 2014-2015 period are forecast to be Kirkland Lake, IAMGOLD, AuRico, Detour Gold, and Perseus.

We forecast that the greatest cost improvement over the 2013 to 2015 period will be delivered by Detour, AuRico, Kirkland Lake, and Perseus, while we forecast that the least cost improvement will be delivered by Alamos, Goldcorp and Timmins.

koz, +41%; Kibali ramp-up progressing, improvement in Loulo/Gounkoto grades), while those with the greatest production decrease include Alamos (-20 koz, -38%; lower heap leach grades, substantially lower contribution from higher grade mill feed) and Barrick (-326 koz, -18%; year over year decrease at Cortez due to lower grades, sale of various operations).

8 companies reported cost results which were better than expected, 3 reported results which were weaker, and 6 reported results which were in line. The greatest cost beat relative to Dundee expectations was delivered by DPM (-$151/oz, -27%; lower unit costs at Chelopech and Kapan), while the greatest cost miss was delivered by Primero (+$53/oz, +9%; lower grades and throughput at Black Fox).

Companies which demonstrated the greatest cost decrease year over year include Agnico Eagle (-$159/oz, -20%; cost reduction initiatives, 2Q13 impacted by by-product metal realized pricing) and Randgold (-$94/oz, -12%; improving performance of Loulo/Gounkoto complex), while those with the greatest cost increase include Alamos (+147/oz, 33%; lower contribution from higher grade mill feed) and AuRico (+$146/oz, +22%; higher costs from open pit mining nearing completion).

Below we provide an overview of 2Q14 financial results for companies under coverage. Overall, companies under coverage reported earnings which decreased 24% from last quarter and 54% from last year. The decrease in earnings YoY is largely explained by 9% lower gold prices, but also influenced negatively by 3% higher costs and offset by 1% higher production.

1H14 PERFORMANCE AND IMPLIED 2H14 OUTLOOK

With half of the year complete, a number of companies in 2Q revised corporate guidance to reflect realized results to date. Key points we highlight:

Of the 17 producing companies under coverage, three companies reported an improvement in corporate guidance. Barrick reported a decrease in its total cash cost and AISC cost guidance. Agnico Eagle incorporated the joint venture acquisition of Osisko, resulting in higher net corporate production guidance, but updated guidance also reflected an improvement in both production and costs for the company's pre-acquisition assets. Eldorado reported production expectations at the high end of its existing range, while the company meaningfully reduced its cost guidance.

Three companies reported weaker corporate guidance. Yamana incorporated the joint venture acquisition of Osisko, resulting in higher net corporate production guidance, but updated guidance reflected a reduction of production at the company's pre-acquisition assets. Dundee Precious Metals reduced its production forecasts, reflecting challenges experienced at its Kapan mine. Detour lowered the top end of its production guidance range due to weaker than expected mining rates, and cost guidance was increased.

Kinross announced its production would be at the high end of its stated range, while costs would be at the low end of its stated range.

Based on realized results in 1H14 for companies under coverage, we have calculated implied results required in for 2H14 to achieve full year corporate guidance.

Of the 17 producing companies under coverage, we highlight that 9 are required to report better 2H results to achieve outlined guidance. Typically, seasonality and project ramp-ups can weight production for some companies towards 2H14.

Companies where production is not 2H weighted include Barrick, Kinross, Agnico Eagle, Eldorado, Detour, AuRico, and Timmins. In our view, these companies are better positioned to achieve full year results.

Companies whose production is weighted to 2H14 and where we see a greater requirement to deliver better production outside of seasonality includes Alamos and Dundee Precious Metals.

Explanation of Recommendations and Risk Ratings Dundee target: represents the price target as required under IIROC Rule 3400. Valuation methodologies used in determining the price target(s) for the issuer(s) mentioned in this research report are contained in current and/or prior research. Dundee target N/A: a price target and/or NAV is not available if the analyst deems there are limited financial metrics upon which to base a reasonable valuation. Recommendations: BUY: Total returns expected to be materially better than the overall market with higher return expectations needed for more risky securities. NEUTRAL: Total returns expected to be in line with the overall market. SELL: Total returns expected to be materially lower than the overall market. TENDER: The analyst recommends tendering shares to a formal tender offer. UNDER REVIEW: The analyst will place the rating and/or target price Under Review when there is a significant material event with further information pending; and/or when the analyst determines it is necessary to await adequate information that could potentially lead to a re-evaluation of the rating, target price or forecast; and/or when coverage of a particular security is transferred from one analyst to another to give the new analyst time to reconfirm the rating, target price or forecast. Risk Ratings: risk assessment is defined as Medium, High, Speculative or Venture. Medium: securities with reasonable liquidity and volatility similar to the market. High: securities with poor liquidity or high volatility. Speculative: where the company's business and/or financial risk is high and is difficult to value. Venture: an early stage company where the business and/or financial risk is high, and there are limited financial metrics upon which to base a reasonable valuation. Investors should not deem the risk ratings to be a comprehensive account of all of the risks of a security. Investors are directed to read Dundee Capital Markets Research reports that contain a discussion of risks which is not meant to be a comprehensive account of all the risks. Investors are directed to read issuer filings which contain a discussion of risk factors specific to the company’s business. Medium and High Risk Ratings Methodology: Medium and High risk ratings are derived using a predetermined methodology based on liquidity and volatility. Analysts will have the discretion to raise but not lower the risk rating if it is deemed a higher risk rating is warranted. Risk in relation to forecasted price volatility is only one method of assessing the risk of a security and actual risk ratings could differ. Securities with poor liquidity or high volatility are considered to be High risk. Liquidity and volatility are measured using the following methodology: a) Price Test: All securities with a price <= $3.00 per share are considered high risk for the purpose of this test. b) Liquidity Test: This is a two-tiered calculation that looks at the market capitalization and trading volumes of a company. Smaller capitalization stocks (<$300MM) are assumed to have less liquidity, and are, therefore, more subject to price volatility. In order to avoid discriminating against smaller cap equities that have higher trading volumes, the risk rating will consider 12 month average trading volumes and if a company has traded >70% of its total shares outstanding it will be considered a liquid stock for the purpose of this test. c) Volatility Test: In this two step process, a stock’s volatility and beta are compared against the diversified equity benchmark. Canadian equities are compared against the TSX while U.S. equities are compared against the S&P 500. Generally, if the volatility of a stock is 20% greater than its benchmark and the beta of the stock is higher than its sector beta, then the security will be considered a high risk security. Otherwise, the security will be deemed to be a medium risk security. Periodically, the equity risk ratings will be compared to downside risk metrics such as Value at Risk and Semi-Variance and appropriate adjustments may be made. All models used for assessing risk incorporate some element of subjectivity. SECURITY ABBREVIATIONS: NVS (non-voting shares); RVS (restricted voting shares); RS (restricted shares); SVS (subordinate voting shares).
