** Jefferies expects Australia's Gold Road Resources
GOR.AX to improve both grade and mill throughput by the end of
FY22 as its Gruyere operations showed improved performance in Q3
** Brokerage sees impacts of a stronger U.S. dollar keeping
AUD gold prices high but expects a stronger dollar to increase
U.S.-based cost influences (such as diesel), making cost
inflation still a risk for GOR
** Jefferies expects GOR's higher ongoing production base to
sustain for longer, driven by increased resources and
production in the Gruyere surrounds
** Brokerage says it is attracted to Gold Road for its
low-cost gold production, among other reasons
** Jefferies maintains its PT for GOR at A$1.80, and
reiterates a "buy" rating
** Eight of nine analysts rate the stock "buy" or higher,
one "hold"; their median PT is A$1.75 – Refinitiv data
** GOR has fallen 16.6% this year, as of last close
