6、merica,the focus is largely on permitting where any promising details on progress of the Rosemont Section 404 Clean Water Act permit could be very meaningful to HBM.Further details on TECKs Elk Valley water compliance may also be forthcoming.Key guidance updates:We are most focused on guidance from

9、arked-to-market Q4/18 commodity prices and made modest changes to forecasts.We lowered our price forecasts by 4-11%for silver and 16-20%for nickel over the next 3yrs,while we raised coking coal 10%in 2020 to$165/t and 3%in 2021 to$155/t.We trimmed our copper price forecast by 6 in 2019 while our gol
10、d price forecasts are unchanged.Target bumps for TECK,OGC,AEM,FNV:We increase our target prices for TECK by 11%to C$42 on higher met coal prices;OGC by 13%to C$4.50 on higher multiples in line with peers;AEM by 8%to$42 on a higher NAV multiple for Meliadine as it is approaching production;and FNV by
11、 6%to$74 as it benefits from improved operating profiles at Candelaria and Hemlo,and from higher palladium and oil&gas price forecasts.We have trimmed our EV/EBITDA target multiple at FCX from 7.0 x to 5.5x to offset the roll-effect of 2yr forward EBITDA which has now begun to capture the undergroun
