In an Oct. 22 research note, BMO Capital Markets analyst Andrew
Mikitchook reported the main takeaways from a site visit to
Premier Gold Mines Ltd.'s (PG:TSX) South Arturo joint venture project
with Nevada Gold Mines.

The primary highlight, Mikitchook indicated, is that
the El Niño mine at South Arturo in Nevada is now in
commercial production, which began in September.

Further, mine output could reach 30,000 ounces in 2019, which would
surpass the previous expectation of 21,000 ounces.

Of note as well, the analyst wrote, is that "El Niño has
extra capacity to mine existing reserves faster or to extend
the mine plan to depth toward additional resources and
new exploration intercepts."

In addition, the potential exists via exploration to expand the
mineralization not only at El Niño but also at
Phase 3 and East Dee.

As for work in progress at the South Arturo property, noted
Mikitchook, testing by five autonomous trucks at
Phase 1's prestrip is scheduled to be completed by year-end 2019.

Also, the joint venture is constructing and evaluating an
oxide heap leach at Phase 1
as a standalone development at South Arturo or
for processing at the North Area.

Further, geological and metallurgical studies are being conducted on
Phase 3 to inform the decision on whether or not to add
the Phase 3 pit to the reserves and mine plan.

BMO has an Outperform rating and a CA$4.75 per share target price on
Premier Gold.
The stock is currently trading at around CA$1.95 per share.
