At least the correction was in the right direction.
They should state exactly jow yhe error occurred.
Thanks Kensal - interesting!
Translating the precedent to Coringa
Onça Puma was a much larger mine — Vale's nickel operation produced around 16,000 tonnes of nickel annually, roughly 5x the revenue scale of Coringa's gold output. It had documented contamination of a major river. Litigation drove the headline numbers. The Coringa case should be materially smaller.
A reasonable working estimate for Coringa would be in this range:
Upfront capital payment: $2–5m funded into community infrastructure during the first one to two years after LI grant. Healthcare clinic upgrades, school construction, road improvements, water systems. Smaller than Onça Puma's R$38.5m initial settlement because Coringa is pre-emptive and smaller scale.
Annual ongoing contributions: $0.5–1.5m per year for the life of mine. Funds healthcare staffing, education programmes, environmental monitoring, cultural preservation, and a structured community fund. The lower end if the agreement leans heavily on programme-delivery; the upper end if there's a meaningful direct cash component.
Total commitment over life of mine: roughly $12–25m in nominal dollars assuming a 15-year Coringa mine life with M&I plus inferred resource. NPV at a 10% discount rate is approximately $8–17m.
There's genuine uncertainty around the upper bound. The Kayapó's negotiating muscle could push the annual payment toward $2m; if litigation gets layered on top (as happened at Onça Puma), the number could go higher. The lower bound is more secure — pre-emptive PBA-CIs at this scale of mine rarely come in below $5m in upfront commitments.
end/
The Onça Puma precedent
The most directly comparable case is Vale's Onça Puma nickel mine, also in Pará, also affecting Kayapó communities, with adjudicated compensation history going back to 2012. The numbers are useful because they show the upper bound when things go wrong.
The 2017 Termo de Ajustamento de Conduta (TAC) initial settlement was R$38.5 million in environmental compensation to the affected Indigenous peoples. The 2018 TRF1 ruling escalated the maximum compensation to R$100 million for environmental and health damage. The 2020 preliminary agreement saw Vale agree to transfer over R$26 million to the Xikrin and Kayapó, broken down as approximately R$12.4 million to the Xikrin, R$13.7 million to the Kayapó, plus R$4.5 million for structural projects in Xikrin villages. Concordialive + 2
Cumulatively across all settlements and ongoing payments, Onça Puma has paid the affected communities in the order of R$150–200m over roughly a decade — say $30–40m at current FX. That includes additional damages awarded after litigation over the Cateté River contamination, which Coringa does not have.

3. cont. the other point to bear in mind that a change of government will almost certainly result in delay between October and December prior to the new government taking office, and further delay as new ministers and officials get themselves organised. Even if the current government is re-elected there might be changes of ministers and key personnel.
The worst case scenario is that all of this creates conditions which result in a long delay to the LI process to mid 2027 and the temporary licence is not renewed in the meantime. That would be a significant backward step for the company. It is very hard to say whether this is only a very small probability event or something more. But I think it cannot be discounted completely. The most likely outcome remains LI granted in H2 26, or H1 27 with a renewal of the temp licence pending completion.
4. The report indicates that SRB has a single customer for gold and a single customer for copper/gold concentrate.
5. Overall grade reduced from 7.68g/t in 2024 to 6.91g/t in 2025. This reflects increased Coringa throughput and I believe the Coringa grade contributing to this overall grade is pre-sorting, so it may not be significant because the ore sorting at Coringa means that the throughput to the ball mills at Palito is at much higher grade. I haven't been able to identify if a post-sorting grade is published but it might be better for the company if they change the reporting structure to state post sorting grade, as that perhaps gives a better indication of mine quality. Perhaps though it is not an acceptable change in mining convention.
The annual report posted on SRB's website contains lots of additional detail and commentary (it is 144 pages long), but if anyone is interested, the report includes:
1. there is an AGM resolution for 18 June to authorise share buybacks (p97);
2. There's a detailed breakdown of operating costs if you want to get into the weeds. A proportion of the increase includes preparatory work in developing Coringa for increased production in 2026+. 43% of cost is labour (p17);
3. There is more explicit commentary on the Coringa LI: On p17, under risk movement, it states that the change of land use has been approved at state level and is now in Brasilia for final approval at federal level. On page 6, MH states that "we are hopeful this will be received very shortly". They have advanced from "shortly" to "very shortly" and I think means we may be getting a further RNS in May or June about that. In relation to FUNAI, the company states that its ECI has been presented to indigenous communities and it has been accepted. Again this is more explicit indication about progress here, previous indications noted that the ECI had been presented but they had not expressly stated that it had been accepted. A compensation study will be negotiated. Once agreed, the ECI can be approved. The progress in respect of Coringa LI is such that we can reasonably say it is now more a case of when rather than if. The when question remains live because of Jan 27 cut off date on the temporary licence but MH has in interviews said that ANM are happy to renew that. I think the biggest risk regarding licensing is delay - Brazil's next general election is in October this year and that could cause delay to the licensing process if any elements are still ongoing at that time. Polling suggests that it is too close to call at present. AI suggests that routinely government ministers resign at this stage in order to run for office, leaving deputies in charge of ministries who might potentially be less willing to take decisions. The minister responsible for INCRA has not resigned which is good. However, a restricted period comes into effect on 5 July and depending on how important the change of land use decision is seen in Brasilia, it could be delayed if not completed by 5 July. The minister in whose department FUNAI sits has resigned and it is being managed by an acting minister. While the head of FUNAI remains in place, he may be less willing to make a decision on the compensation study until a permanent minister is back in place. Finally, the Governor of Para state, responsible for SEMAS, the state body responsible for granting the LI once INCRA and FUNAI have done their bits, has also resigned so that could also create delay. I would emphasise this commentary on the election is AI generated, but I think it is reasonable to believe that the election processes outlined above could (but might not) create friction and delay in getting through the licensing process. tbc

Margin half of your net is £88m @ current FX the cap is £250m that isnt 50%+ as rat says......ive checked this with Einstein, also a mathematical genius and he agrees.
What happens to that % if the Coringa licence isn't granted? Stocko mentions absolutely nothing about the real risk of the licence, which is very poor from Graham. It also mentions nothing about the cost involved in giving the indigenous people the things they want. Its like people are not aware of it.....
I've just crunched some numbers. If the price stays around here, share buys backs are vastly superior to any divi. The increase in EPS in one year could be between 8% to 13% .. and that compounds if repeated. So a ~13% upside on our fair value without any re-rating. Can I sell it another way. On a P/E of 2.5, its like getting a 40% earnings yield. The market needs to stay asleep! And management can exploit the undervaluation.
I think Ratboy is talking about the possibility of the 2026 FY numbers. So lets run that: 55,000oz x $4,600 = $253 million. Minus AISC 55,000 oz x ~$1,500* = £82.5 million. Est EBITDA $178 million. Est Net profit $119.2 million. EPS: $119.2 / 75.7M = $1.57 .... *The aim is $1,500, but currently running higher. So this is when everything aligns. I guess some here my argue gold could well be higher (well it has been!) and could well go higher again, who knows!. So 20% or 30% of FCF Divi = $0.29/23p per share to $0.44/35p per share. Using a 330p share price, gives between a 7% to 10.6% yield. So its got a shot. Numbers run roughly, so please don't shoot me down. I found the earlier talk of the divi (between 20/30% of FCF), compare to what the CEO mentioned: "The Board announces the 2026 shareholder return policy will be a targeted return of up to 20 - 30% of the Group’s free cash flow to shareholders through dividends or buy-backs." to what the chair says about the divi: ". The Board currently expects to adopt a similar payout range for the financial year 2026." ... a little confusing to me, as there is a significant difference on my number in terms of % yield between what has been paid to what will be paid here. In the above calcs you have 20/30% of FCF going 100% into dividends (I guess here if the price stays at a low PE, and POG stays high, we could see share buybacks, it makes sense if POG has a new floor and we dont re-rate - do both right, Divi and buyback, they have flexability). Major M&A move possible, so they are looking for even more potential! Great to see organic potential too. Nice to see extra money put towards H&S, look after the staff, and they look after you. Debt free. Massive liquidity. Fourth ball mill incoming. We need a license! Longhole open stoping, this will assist lowering pre ounce mining costs. Sao Chico re-evaluation. Significant brownfield drilling. Plenty to get stuck into.
Net profit of over £125m? Not sure what profit you are referring to?
With those figures, and the price of gold, it doesn't take a mathematical genius to work out 2026 sees us having a great chance of us earning over half our market cap in profits... at least........🤞all been well
I find it puzzling that there have been no director deals since 2021 when basically the share price has quintupled.

Suspect if classed as the annual divi, it will need sign off at the next AGM, so 26 May. Say mid June Ex-Divi date and record date. Late June payment date best guess.
Does it say anywhere when the dividend will be paid?
All done with an average gold price of $3481, its been $4800 that's 30% higher.. to be fair I expected a 10 cent divi..still numbers are robust and now trading on a P/E below 5 with a dividend. With 15% higher production, 30% higher gold price looking good, just look at Qtr 4 numbers with a EPS of 25 cents,now add 40% and mutliply by 4 ...thats what this year will pan out to be, £1 per share, or a P/E of 3.5
The much anticipated inaugural dividend news has landed today. This is a likely catalyst for increased institutional investor interest in taking up a position on the Company share register.

Serabi Gold (SRB) delivered a very strong FY25, with revenue up 65% to $155.8m, driven by an 18% rise in gold production to 44,169oz and a much higher average realised gold price of $3,481/oz versus $2,407/oz in FY24. Profitability stepped up materially: EBITDA rose 117% to $77.9m, post-tax profit increased 94% to $53.9m, and basic EPS rose to 71.18c from 36.73c. Operating cash generation was also strong, with net cash inflow from operations of $50.6m after mine development spend. The balance sheet strengthened significantly, with year-end cash of $49.2m and net cash of $42.1m, up from $16.2m. Serabi also noted that it became debt-free after repaying $5.3m to Banco Santander in January 2026, and ended Q1 2026 ...

It is a positive update, making more progress towards the overall target combined resource figure of 1.5m-2.0moz than previous guidance. There's no reason to think that the 2026 drilling won't produce similar results with the possibility of achieving the higher end of the target.
The Coringa licence has several moving parts. The company has indicated that the Change of Land Use application to INCRA has passed state level and is now at a Federal level. They've indicated that that should be resolved and reported in H2. The second element is the FUNAI indigenous study and compensation agreement. The study has been accepted in principle by FUNAI, subject to confirmation by the indigenous communities. The compensation agreement is being prepared / negotiated. This could take several months and might not be completed this year. The full licence can only be completed once these two elements have been finalised. So the full licence might not be completed this year. The company has separately stated that ANM has indicated that the temporary licence can be renewed in the interim and that may involve permission for a higher tonnage to be shipped to Palito for processing. That might be completed by Q3 or Q4. Subject to the price of gold remaining at current levels, the successful completion of the Coringa licence process should result in a very significant re-appraisal of the market value of SRB.
This RNS looks really positive to me. 29% increase in M&I resources and a 55% reserve boost at Palito is great news for holders. Hopefully Serabi can built on this positive news and scale the company into a much longer-life high margin gold producer, especially if the gold price remains high . We need news about the licence renewal now and surely the share price will go much higher.

Sometime this week we should get the upgrade, with the year end dividend/share buy back being announced.
$20 million FCF per quarter, plus increased production during the next 3Q’s should have us around $100 - $120 Million Cash balance by end of 2026.
No debt to service. Market cap of £240 Million

20% increase in gold production for the weakest quarter (rainy season) is also a good indicator for the guided 53k-57koz for the year. Slightly strengthened wording on Coringa permitting too. Mineral resource report due imminently will also be interesting - somewhere between 1.2m-1.3m oz.
Very solidcredults. Generated $20 mill in free cash flow in the qtr. Which will grow as the year progresses. So expect $100 mill for the year . Should declare a dividend with the interim results at end of July. On wards and upwards
Gold sell-off looks like it’s run its course. Each flush tends to bring long-term holders back in, steadily stripping out the excess. Now the focus shifts to the earnings report, less than a month to go.
I think people need to take a deep breath and largely ignore the day to day fluctuations, no matter how volatile they are. It is barely 1yr since gold broke through $3000 ! After 3yrs of flatlining from 2021-2024 when interest rates were being held at record lows so that Western economies could afford to pay the interest on their huge debts, gold started to rise as sovereign debt in a rising rates environment became a concern. That gold price rose pretty steadily from $2000 to $3500 from Jan '24 to Sep '25 as focus was largely on economic matters. Even Q4 '25 was largely a continuation of rising gold price based on realization that interest rates weren't going back down rapidly and debt servicing was a major concern. Then in 2026 when Trump acknowledged that he couldn't control the bond markets, he changed his focus to regime change and war ... always a good economic stimulus ... as well as the last throw of the dice. The volatility of the past few months is just noise. At some point stability will resume, whether it's one week, one month or one year I don't know, but when it does debt servicing and the economy will return to being the focus of attention in the world markets and gold will continue it's rise against the dollar. Over the past 2years my SIPPs have risen a remarkable 75% and gone from about 25% invested in gold miners to around 70%, even as I top-sliced ! But right now I look at all my holdings in miners and think I should simply hold for the entirety of 2026 ! I can't think of better investments to hold and can't see a reason to crystallize further gains and hold cash. I genuinely don't think the market is pricing any of these companies on the basis that gold might stay above $4500 for the next few years, frankly I don't think they're even pricing $3500 gold and yet I would guess that we are much more likely to see gold move above $5500 and a new all-time high than retreat to $4000. DYOR but I'm expecting another bonanza year for gold miners !
And no doubt it will be back up in a week's time when Trump tells us that the war is over again.

Gold is still on the rise, and back in Jan at this PoG SRB was circa. 350. Way oversold in my opinion. Let's see whether investors stick to the strong underlying fundamentals and thesis or join the rollercoaster.
It was notable that gold still managed to close in the green, alongside a stronger US dollar and oil. That combination isn’t typical, and it suggests there may already be some underlying strength starting to build beneath the surface. History is fairly clear on this pattern: gold often gets sold early in periods of stress (check), but it also tends to recover ahead of many other assets once conditions stabilise (tbc). 🤞

Looks like the interview is dated 16 Feb 2026, see file name in top left corner "SRB_20260216_v4.mp4". So it looks like it was recorded before the recent "developments". Still sounds promising, even if it does look like the SRB comms team reminding us how good the Serabi story is, in the wake of the thumping we, and other junior miners, have got recently, other than updating us on the impact of these "developments".
Watched another video that suggested current PoG "weakness" (if you call $4,500 "weak") is middle east and other countries selling their gold stocks to shore up their currencies, given the oncoming economic woes. Interesting times ahead
In case anyone is unaware there is an interview with Mike Hodgson posted on the website in the media page https://www.serabigold.com/media/. Mike Hodgson says in this interview a few things which are of interest:
1. In relation to Coringa licensing, he says that they have been in discussion with ANM about an extension of the temporary licence and that they have been told verbally that an extension will be granted and that it might even be expanded (i.e. the tonnage that can be mined and taken off site). The LI is being progressed;
2. He says that they will be moving from 40,000oz / pa (2025) to 60,000oz pa (2026) by reason of the operation of the ore sorter. My understanding of this is that he is saying that by the end of 2026 production could be at an annualised rate of 60,000 oz pa, not that 2026 production will be 60,000 oz. He refers to a figure of 54,000 oz for 2026.
3. He says that the mineral resource (due very soon) will come in at 1.2m to 1.3m.
4. He says that the confidence in the mineral resource increase is what has driven the decision to deploy the fourth ball mill., along with the reopening of San Chico (assuming gold remains high). He says that the fourth ball mill could add 10,000 to 15,000oz pa from 2027.
5. He talks about being disciplined about M&A opportunities but suggests that they are looking at local opportunities which can tie in with their existing infrastructure.
6. He suggests that Q1 2026 will be modest.
7. I've noted that the website also indicates that SRB's shorter term strategy is to increase production to 60,000oz pa by the end of 2026 and that the strategy beyond that is to become a 100k-200k oz producer in 3-5 yrs.
I think the interview reflects increasing confidence in licensing and production increases.
The main risks for investors remain (1) gold price, (2) licensing for Coringa (which is perhaps being partially de-risked in light of his comments), (3) Safety, and (4) key-man - is there a replacement for MH in 3-4 years (he is 64).

Bpught some Serabi, way overdone and really good value
Either this stock is severely under the radar or people are too fearful the Coringa Licence wont be given
I noticed last week watching share price it was very resistant dropping under 250-260 even as gold was still sliding, people didnt want to sell down there
By my estimation even if gold was back at $3500 then we should be trading around 350p on a P/E ratio of SIX ... with current production ... NOT future growth prospects
Fingers 🤞 it will bounce back over the coming weeks.
The US economy remains resilient, people are confident there, and that is ultimately what drives global markets if recession hits.
The recent pullback in gold and gold miners looks far less like a change in fundamentals and more like a function of positioning. These assets had been among the strongest performers, so naturally they became a source of liquidity, capital is being taken off the table and redeployed into areas offering better short-term risk/reward.
In other words, this is rotation into re-balancing not necessarily a reversal.

TACO Monday!!!!! BUY EVERYTHING!!!!
Don't, just accept and understand that when markets crash the Hedge Funds & Private Finance Crooks sell what they can easily sell.
The US $ is not strong, America is not "winning" and gold prices will recover.
Yes, based on reported production, I get net profit/earnings for Q4 of about $19m, so around $54m for 2025 overall.
I think MB11's forecast profit is broadly in the right area. Post tax profit for the first nine months was just under $35m, based on turnover of $104.5m. With production of 11,534 oz in Q4, average gold price of $4,135, turnover for Q4 was likely to be in the region of $47m. That correlates with forecast estimated turnover of $149m for 2025 as a whole published elsewhere. Post tax profit based on that might be $50m+ based on conversion of turnover to post tax profit in the first nine months of 2025 of roughly 33%, perhaps a bit more if they were able to reduce AISC during the quarter as production increase and ore sorting improved efficiencies.
Remember that AISC doesn't include capex, and capex in 2025 and 2026 includes their drilling programme., forecast cost of $18m in 2025 and $28m in 2026, so you need to account for that on top of AISC when working out post tax profit.
For 2026, 53,000oz at $5,000 per oz = turnover of $265m and that might reasonably generate post tax profit of $88m-$90m based on 2025 conversion rate. If they significantly improve efficiency because of increased production, perhaps $105m. But I don't think we can assume that gold will definitely maintain above $5,000 for the whole year, so probably better to budget for $99m.
MB11, your numbers are way out. in thee last qtr of 2025 production of 11,000 oz at an aisc of $1800 per oz and realised of $4000 gives $24 million nett profit in the lasst qtr alone. giving a nett profit for the year of around $80 million for 2025. with production at 53000 oz in 2026 aisc of $1700 at a realised of $5000 gives nett profit of $180 million for 2026. SRb trading on a foarward P/E of 2...
At £240m the net profit this year is expected at $49m and next year at $99m
Will be a hard move back up soon and may catch a few out

Thanks for the intel. It’s clear the record gold prices have totally changed the maths on São Chico. Is the current "GUIA" (trial mining license) for São Chico still active? If they greenlight the reopening, do we have a sense of the lead time, are we talking weeks to de-water and ventilate, or months of redevelopment?
Also, regarding that 12,000–15,000 oz/year target: if they hit those numbers, does the existing mill have the capacity to handle that extra high-grade feed, or are they banking entirely on the new 4th ball mill to prevent a bottleneck? I'd be curious to see if this effectively turns Serabi into a 70k+ oz producer by 2027.
Production data is typically reported combined for the Palito Complex (Palito main mine + satellite deposits like São Chico), but São Chico-specific contributions are noted in various reports, news, and company updates:2015: Early ramp-up phase; São Chico contributed smaller amounts (e.g., ~783 ounces in Q2 2015, with initial gallery production starting in June). Grades were reported around 4.58 g/t gold in early ore.
2010s overall (post-restart): São Chico helped support the complex's annual run-rate of 30–40koz (thousand ounces) gold, with higher grades from its veins (often 10–30 g/t in narrow veins, though blended lower when processed).
Up to 2022: São Chico was actively mined and contributed meaningfully (e.g., in some quarters, it had the highest grades in the complex, such as 12.64 g/t in one early period, though it represented ~30% or less of total ore tonnage).
2023: Mining suspended at the end of Q1 2023; production shifted to Coringa (which replaced São Chico's contribution). São Chico placed on care and maintenance due to lower priority (lower amenability/grades relative to other ores).
Post-2023: No significant production from São Chico (complex focused on Palito and Coringa). Total complex production reached record levels without it:2024: Not specified per mine, but overall growth trajectory.
2025: Record 44,169 ounces total for the company (from Palito ~20,158 oz + Coringa ~24,010 oz).
2026 outlook: Guidance 53,000–57,000 ounces total (ramping toward 60,000+ by year-end). Potential São Chico restart discussed to help push toward 70,000–80,000 oz annually in coming years, leveraging current high gold prices.
Grades and RatesSão Chico is known for high-grade narrow-vein mineralization (typical grades 10–30 g/t Au in veins, with some higher "blowouts"; true widths often 0.5–1.0 m).
When processed (blended with other ores), effective recovery and output rates have been lower priority compared to richer sources.
No large historical cumulative total is widely cited for São Chico alone (unlike major Brazilian historical mines), as it's a relatively recent satellite operation with artisanal history but limited industrial output before Serabi.
For the most detailed year-by-year breakdowns (including exact São Chico contributions where separated), refer to Serabi Gold's official annual/interim reports, production updates, or investor presentations on their website (serabigold.com). Recent filings (e.g., 2024/2025 annual reports) emphasize the complex's overall growth and potential restart economics for São Chico. If you're seeking data for a specific year or metric (e.g., ounces per year, grade trends), let me know for more targeted details!
The Brazilian fund that owns 25 % don’t seem concerned about licences
The licences are a big issue

Good to hear an update on the Coringa license. I suspect the real delay is haggling over the additional 'royalties' that the Federal, State and Local governments and communities are trying to extract from Serabi. I can't imagine they actually want to kill off this cash cow ... merely that they want a bigger piece of the pie as the gold price has risen so much.
Right place, right time with the tailwind of a soaring gold price!
