The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, July 15, edition that National Bank Financial analyst Andrew Dusome has commenced coverage on Talon Metals with an "outperform" recommendation and an $8 share target. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that analysts on average target the shares at $9. Mr. Dusome says in a note: "Our 'outperform' rating is supported by the combination of the current production base at Eagle and the strong upside we see at the Tamarack project to provide meaningful nickel and copper production growth. With the Eagle acquisition, Talon now has ongoing cash flow (CF) generation to support continued exploration as well as a workforce of proven mine builders and operators, which in our view, derisks Tamarack development. Our 'outperform' rating is also supported by the strategic relationships that Talon has developed with the U.S. government through several government grants and strong shareholder support from Lundin Mining as the cornerstone shareholder."
