Q4/14 – Lowering price target on distribution cut
Argent Energy Trust delivered in-line Q4/14 financial results on pre-released
volumes. We view the suspension of Argent's monthly distribution as necessary
and expect the units to trade on pure option value from here as management
targets debt reduction via accretive asset sales.

• In-line Q4/14 financials. Argent's Q4/14 production of 6,528 boe/d (65% liquids)
was pre-released. CFPU of $0.17 matched our estimate with the following
variances: $6.13/boe higher realized pricing and hedging gains offset by 21%
higher unit opex and overhead (G&A and Interest) expense. Argent's revised
5,000 boe/d (68–70% liquids) 2015 volume target appears reasonable and should
generate circa $19.7 million of cash flow from operations prior to hedges and
approximately $14.2 million in interest commitments for the bank line and
outstanding convertible debentures. We peg the in-the-money value of Argent's
2015 hedges at $36.7 million at RBC's price deck. Accordingly, we calculate a
simple cash interest coverage ratio of 4.0x based on our projections prior to
Argent's US$12 million capital budget.
• Valuation reflects pure option on accretive exit. At current levels, Argent is
trading at a 2015E debt-adjusted cash flow multiple of 9.8x (vs. oil-weighted
peers at 9.2x) and a P/NAV multiple of 0.1x (vs. peers at 0.6x).
• Maintaining Underperform, Speculative Risk rating and lowering price target to
$0.30 from $0.50. Our 12-month price target reflects a 0.1x multiple (previously
0.2x) of our base NAV of $3.25/unit, which assumes a US$ 89/bbl long-term WTI
price.

• We view the temporary suspension of KGC’s Maricunga mine in Chile as a slight
negative for the shares.
• Due to abnormally heavy rains and flooding in the region, mining and crushing
operations and the SART plant are temporarily closed, while the ADR plant
continues to produce gold from the heap leach using an on-site power generator.
The company noted that facilities at site have not sustained any damage.
• We expect the suspension to be temporary and maintain our 2015 production
estimate of 239Koz at total cash costs of $960/oz, or 9% of KGC’s total production.
• The suspension of Maricunga adds to the list of mines affected by the recent
heavy rains in the region, including Barrick (Zaldivar), Codelco (five copper
mines), Angofagasta (two copper mines), Lundin (Candelaria – restarted after a
one-day suspension) and Anglo American (Mantoverde).

• Teck held its investor day on March 31, with RBC's Base Metals team outlining
the key highlights in a research report published this morning (Link). We found
one component of their outlook very interesting from a Westshore perspective,
specifically: Teck sees potential to grow coal production from its current capacity
of 28Mt to 40Mt longer-term.

• While we do not anticipate Westshore increasing future terminal throughput
beyond our current 36Mt annually out in 2019, we do see Westshore benefiting
from a mix perspective. Met coal commands ~40% higher terminal loading rates
(by our estimate) compared to that for thermal coal; and as such, any switch
to Teck coal from lower yielding thermal coal would provide for higher average
rates. Given Teck's guidance for 8Mt in potential production increases out of nonQuintette mines could be shipped through Westshore, If we add an additional
8Mt from Teck (displacing 8Mt in thermal coal) in our long-run estimates, we see
the potential for another $3 to $4 per share (or 10-15% upside) in valuation in
the WTE shares.
Teck operations remain cash positive
• RBC's Base Metals team notes that all of Teck’s coal operations are cash flow
positive at current coal prices after accounting for spending on sustaining capex
and deferred stripping. Accordingly, we continue to see the demand from Teck
and take-or-pay contract for WTE's terminal capacity as remaining robust despite
current depressed coal prices.

Laying out the story south of the border
While the basic premise of the Investor Day in New York was to convey the story
to U.S. investors, we still came away from the event with a number of interesting
slides and updates. We believe that Fortis has a good story to tell involving below
average risk utility growth and an ability to manage regulatory processes better
than many utilities in North America.

• Reiterating the core utility growth story. Fortis continues to expect the roughly
$9 billion capital plan from 2015-2019 to deliver average rate base growth
(including Waneta) of 6.5% on a compound annual basis with the potential for
the growth rate to rise to 7.5% CAGR if the two LNG-related projects in B.C. move
forward.
• Solid history of earning its allowed ROEs (and then some). Fortis provided a
history for each of its utilities comparing the allowed ROE to the achieved ROE.
As shown in the exhibit, Fortis has consistently earned its allowed ROE while
delivering upside in a number of years. The charts for each of Fortis' utilities is
shown in Exhibit 3 beginning on page 4 of this note.
• No update on the Properties strategic alternatives process. While the company
specifically addressed the review, it continues to target completing the review
process in Q2/15. Proceeds, if any, will be used to repay debt and bring the capital
structure back in line with the long-term target of 55% debt (currently 57%).
• Alberta GCOC impact in line with our initial thoughts. Although the Alberta
Utilities Commission reduced the allowed ROE to 8.3% (down from 8.75%) while
also reducing the equity component to 40% (down from 41%), Fortis does not
see a material impact on the business under the current PBR structure.

• April’s Prospects bears the brunt of the companies' March FY14 results
presentations which, as a rule, included a more cautious outlook for activity
levels in 2015-H1/16. As a result we have trimmed our valuations of future
developments (deferred start-up dates, reduced probability of a development
commitment, etc.) and drilling targets (if a prospect did not warrant a name
check investors are unlikely to allocate the opportunity any value). Consequently
a number of Total NAVs have fallen, while Tangible NAVs have remained largely
unchanged.
• However, our updates also bear the impact of recent disappointing newsflow,
including year-end reserves downgrades, unrest in Yemen, a lack of progress on
oil sales from Kurdistan, etc. In this report, we have lowered our Target Prices
for DNO and Sterling Resources, to NOK17 (from NOK20) and C$0.25 (C$0.35),
respectively.
• We have also made revisions for recent re-financings – Genel’s $230m bond
issue and Tullow and Pacific Rubiales’ debt re-determinations, plus ongoing share
buyback campaigns.
• We have this month also included an initial assessment of Ophir’s enlarged
portfolio, following its all-share acquisition of Salamander; our revised Tangible
and Total NAV are 208p/share and 246p/share, respectively.

Q2/15 Global Mining Best Ideas Portfolio
Fraser Phillips, P.Eng. (Analyst)
(416) 842-7859; fraser.phillips@rbccm.com
• For Q2/15, we recommend the following sector weightings: Fertilizers at
Overweight, Base Metals, Precious Metals, and Uranium at Market Weight, and
Bulk Commodities at Underweight.
• We are also updating our Global Mining Best Ideas portfolio with three additions
and three deletions. We have added Arcelor Mittal, Nyrstar, and Sandfire
Resources and have removed Labrador Iron Ore Royalty, PanAust and Rio Tinto.
• We expect Q2/15 to be mixed for mining equities. We expect Fertilizer equities
to continue to offer resource investors a relative safe haven and believe
fertilizer markets should remain relatively steady with balanced S&D for all three
nutrients. With improving leading economic indicators and favorable seasonality,
we believe the current rally in Base Metals could be extended, although we
expect the group as a whole to trade sideways in a volatile range. We are more
constructive on Precious Metals given expectations a Fed rate hike could occur
later in 2015 and Uranium as we see improving price support. We have grown
more cautious on Bulk Commodities amid ongoing growth in supply and slow
Chinese demand.
• Our Best Ideas portfolio finished up 3% in Q1/2015, outperforming our
benchmark, the MSCI World Metals and Mining Index, which was down 6% over
the period. In Q4/2014, the portfolio was down 7%, ahead of the benchmark
which was down 14%. Since inception on September 30, 2008, the RBC CM Global
Mining portfolio is up 12% (~2% CAGR), well ahead of our MSCI benchmark at
-34% (~-6% CAGR).

A Non-Random Walk Through Global Equity Markets to Start Q2
• United States - Our 4 main Cycle trend barometers remain positive and have
yet to show divergences often associated with cycle tops. The recent 12-month
break-out by small-caps remains an encouraging Q1 development with relative
performance vs the S&P continuing to build positively. To become more cautious/
defensive, we would need to see the 6-month relative performance uptrend
show evidence of reversing. For now, we view the current uptrend as innocent
until proven guilty.
• Style and Sector Themes - Growth vs. Value: Uptrends intact, but pausing/
stalling intermediate-term. Healthcare: Leadership intact but pausing as Biotech
7
corrects – Too early to call Biotech a cycle peak. Technology: Pulling back as
Semis and Communication remain weak with Service and Software leading.
Discretionary: Leadership intact with Homebuilders emerging. Industrials: Rails
correcting, Aerospace and Services rebuilding leadership. Energy: Recovery
continues under long-term downtrends.
• Europe - Pause pending? DAX becoming overbought intermediate-term under
its 5+ year ‘trend channel’. Relative performance vs the S&P 500 in $US terms
remains unimpressive. Sectors: Similar to the US, Healthcare, Discretionary and
Technology lead but are advanced intermediate-term. Financials showing early
signs of improving. Industrials stronger in Europe than the US.
• Japan - Nikkei rallies through 2007 highs while USD/YEN consolidates
below similar level. Sectors: Healthcare leads, Discretionary, Technology AND
interestingly Staples emerging.
• Emerging Markets - Struggling to rally back above 5-year uptrend. Relative
performance vs the S&P 500 showing early evidence of reversing a 6-month
downtrend. Far-East and Asia remain leadership, Latin America and Europe/
Middle East remain lag. China rally continues but less ‘timely’, Hong Kong
poised to ‘break-out’ of a 4-year trading range, Korea challenging key 3-year
overhead resistance, Mexico range bound while Brazil remains in a longer-term
downtrend. Sectors: Healthcare and Technology lead, Discretionary accelerating
after 2014 pause.

Dissemination of research and short-term trade ideas
RBC Capital Markets endeavors to make all reasonable efforts to provide research simultaneously to all eligible clients, having
regard to local time zones in overseas jurisdictions. RBC Capital Markets' equity research is posted to our proprietary website
to ensure eligible clients receive coverage initiations and changes in ratings, targets and opinions in a timely manner. Additional
distribution may be done by the sales personnel via email, fax, or other electronic means, or regular mail. Clients may also
receive our research via third party vendors. RBC Capital Markets also provides eligible clients with access to SPARC on the Firms
proprietary INSIGHT website, via email and via third-party vendors. SPARC contains market color and commentary regarding
subject companies on which the Firm currently provides equity research coverage. Research Analysts may, from time to time,
include short-term trade ideas in research reports and / or in SPARC. A short-term trade idea offers a short-term view on
9
how a security may trade, based on market and trading events, and the resulting trading opportunity that may be available. A
short-term trade idea may differ from the price targets and recommendations in our published research reports reflecting the
research analyst's views of the longer-term (one year) prospects of the subject company, as a result of the differing time horizons,
methodologies and/or other factors. Thus, it is possible that a subject company's common equity that is considered a long-term
'Sector Perform' or even an 'Underperform' might present a short-term buying opportunity as a result of temporary selling pressure
in the market; conversely, a subject company's common equity rated a long-term 'Outperform' could be considered susceptible
to a short-term downward price correction. Short-term trade ideas are not ratings, nor are they part of any ratings system, and
the firm generally does not intend, nor undertakes any obligation, to maintain or update short-term trade ideas. Short-term trade
ideas may not be suitable for all investors and have not been tailored to individual investor circumstances and objectives, and
investors should make their own independent decisions regarding any securities or strategies discussed herein. Please contact
your investment advisor or institutional salesperson for more information regarding RBC Capital Markets' research.
