    Rating: BUY Monument Mining LimitedTarget Price: C$1.15 (MMY-TSXV)

    All figures in C$, unless otherwise noted Projected Gold Production and Plant Expansion

    Plan Better than Market Expectation

    XMill Capacity Will Increase 250% in One Year: Monument Miningreleased its Phase III expansion plan for its 100%-owned Selinsing

    Gold Mine. The company plans to raise the mill capacity 250% to1 million tonnes/year from 400,000 tonnes/year by April 2012 with

    a budgeted capex of $8 million. The designed capacity is 25%

    higher than market expectation, but the budgeted capex is in line

    with our expectation.

    XProjected Gold Production in Fiscal 2012 Beats MarketExpectation: According to the companys released news, the

    projected gold production in fiscal 2012 will be no less than 50,000

    ounces, over 25% higher than market expectation (40,000 ounces),

    due to increased processing capacity. Therefore, we have raised

    our projected gold production in fiscal 2012 to 50,000 ounces from

    40,000 ounces.

    XThe Company Plans to Further Accelerate Its ExplorationActivities: Currently only two drilling rigs, one diamond rig and one

    RC rig, are operated by MMYs exploration team at Selinsing,

    Damar Buffalo Reef and Famehub. The company plans to use four

    in-house rigs and one contract diamond drill rig for its future

    exploration and speed up its drilling activity significantly.

    XFuture Exploration Success Will Enhance MMYs Long-term ValueAny future exploration success at Selinsing, Damar Buffalo Reef or

    Famehub will extend the LOM of Selinsing Gold Mine and enhance

    the companys intrinsic value. At the current stage, we have notincluded any potential future exploration success into our

    forecasting model.

    XRecommendation: Due to our updated assumption on goldproduction in fiscal 2012 at Selinsing, we are raising our price

    target to $1.15 from $1.10 per share and reiterating our BUY

    recommendation.
