eps forecast 2011/2012 survey

Hi guys,

I was just checking the numbers and looking for analyst upgrades downgrades etc.

According to E*Trade/Aspect Huntley's research data on KZL, the forecast for future median earnings trend looks something like:

30-06-11
EPS 4.2c
PE 13.4
Growth 657%


30-06-12
EPS 10.7c
PE 5.3
Growth 152%

The analysts covering KZL and contributing to the research include.

* E.L.& C.Baillieu Stockbroking
* Morningstar Australasia
* Patersons Securities Ltd
* Southern Cross Equities

Does anybody have any numbers that differ significantly from other trading platforms and or analysts?

I believe the EPS for 30-06-10 must have been about 0.5c to get anything near 657% growth from 2010 to 2011.

At any rate, market moving in the intermim will most likely be results from the Admiral Bay project BFS due for completion by the end of April. Personally, I'm more bullish on zinc, lead and silver than copper.

Beyond that I guess we will be waiting for quarterly production results that should show a ramp up in production at Thalanga and increased production at Lounge Lizard.
