Gold Road Resources Ltd (ASX: GOR)

Bell Potter thinks that Gold Road Resources could be an ASX 200 mining stock to buy this week.

The broker has responded to the gold miner's FY 2023 results with a buy rating and improved price target of $1.85. This implies potential upside of 23% for investors over the next 12 months.

Its analysts explained why they are bullish on the company. They said:

GOR is a debt-free, unhedged, free-cash generating, single asset gold producer, with targeted attributable production of a sustainable 175 kozpa (attributable) out to 2032. GOR pays dividends, targeting dividends of 15-to-30% of free-cash-flow, subject to a minimum cash balance of $100m. Earnings from Gruyere provide an excellent foundation for GOR's growth ambitions i) a 100% owned project, and ii) Tier 1 gold assets.

Lynas Rare Earths Ltd (ASX: LYC)

Another ASX 200 mining stock that has been named as a buy this week is rare earths producer Lynas.

Goldman Sachs remains very positive on the miner and has its shares on its coveted conviction list with a buy rating and $7.40 price target. This implies potential upside of 25% for investors over the next 12 months.

A couple of reasons why Goldman is so bullish are as follows:

Undervalued: the stock is trading at ~0.8x NAV (A$7.78/sh) and pricing in US$67/kg NdPr vs. spot at ~US$53/kg and our long run US$83/kg (real $, from 2028) NdPr price forecast.

NdPr market balanced over medium term but deficits over long run on higher Chinese supply, but we see upside to current NdPr spot China at ~US$53/kg where we forecast US$60/kg across CY24 based on our SD model.
