"If only the multiple account twerps would p*s off cluttering this board with carp."
I suspect they will be doing so soon when they realise the games up with their narrative
"surely $11K gets taken out this year?"
By the look of things today, I should have said
"$11K gets taken out this month :) "
Lately its been 4 steps forward and one back
surely $11K gets taken out this year?
It really does look like start of massive bull run. Where and when does it end though? $14K by 2026 ? Seems realistic now

Did you get all that from the company website :)
If not, I would recommend you apply for the post of PR rep !

Difference is though we dont know what is under the ground at Zambia. Could be the jackpot or could be nothing and worthless.
Apparently BR is the 10th biggest copper discovery in last 10 years. But unfortunately worthless at current POC .
"Copper spot price is not going to have a direct effect on a valuation for BR"
Sorry HZ dont agree
There are obviously other factors that will determine sale price such as capex and opex (as you have said).
I stand by my view that IF POC was $2K to £3K higher ie $14K not $12K then we would get a significant higher sale price (IMHO of circa double). Albeit nothing like some valuations
I'm not saying that is the sole factor, but would be a significant driver to any valuation. That's why BR's valuation now is Zero.

You are not missing anything with your SP calculation.
But as I said I dont think we will be getting anything like £150M. If that buy out was correct then by waiting another year or so you would have all your house paid for and have thousands of pounds extra :)
But we wont be getting anything like that offer (IMHO) so its moot point. My thinking is £25M with a circa £50M IF we waited a year or so.
"I for one would prefer the bow wrapped before Christmas 2024, ideally at 10,500/tonne and 100-150m rather than Christmas 2026 and 200-250m."
I dont think we will be getting anything like that deal as that would be 11p at £100M . If those figures were correct we would be getting an additional 11p if we waited 2 years (extra £100m). I doubt many would not go for the extra 2 years for 22p offer!
But I doubt we would be getting more than additional 4p if we waited (Circa £35m). Thats a lot of extra profit to me as my holding is in teens of millions.
I understand that some would have different views.
"Andrew, I think we are all certain the copper price is going one way"
That's why I wouldnt want CB to sell us short too soon. Yes he hasnt got that long in this game left but we are still getting FB money for another 2 years so he must expect to be around for that time period.
My concern is that we get 3p for BR but if we had waited another 12 to 18 months it would have been double that.
I've been here 10 years so an additional 12 months is fine by me (accept others will disagree)
I'd hold fire with the bow just yet.
POC very likely to be hitting $12K over next 12 months and $13K to $15K within 2 years
If you think its hot at todays price then just wait for another 12 months :)
And then again in a further 12 months !
$13K to $15K IMHO within next 2 years.
" towards a huge bet by BHP on a Copper Bull market for years to come ?!"
Yes agreed.
Not sure if this bid by BHP is in its self good or bad for XTR, but the sentiment behind it does seem to support the thesis that copper demand and price, is only one way in the future.
But is the future the next 6 months or 2 years :) ??
" The Bushranger Study concluded that the highest post tax NPV8 of AU$363m (NPV10 - AU$265m) processes ore above 0.10% CuEq at 20mtpa with a sale price of US$11,000/t."
If Copper does go to $15K/t we are going to get more than $20M for BR imho.
Every corporate analyst seems to think $15K a tonne is coming...but the disagreement seems to be on the times scales.
Varies between 2025 2026 2027 or 2028
A long wait if it is 2027+ but I'm sure BR will get sold within those times scales and we will eventually see 4 to 6p again.
Maybe more?
For me, bottom drawer until then
"15,000 dollars per kg in 2025....."
I really hope so. That would be equivalent to approx $15M a tonne
I'm sure BR would be profitable at that level :)
"Let's just hope we're not watching it from the sidelines in a couple of years because PXC still haven't sorted the finance for it!!"
Exactly. How frustrating would that be.
80% chance IMHO it will go as planned.
I would be disappointed and surprised if this did nt hit a £1 within (not by) next 2 years. 40p not so long ago
We'll see
"I would be careful here,"
You kept that view quiet. Why on earth didnt you warn people before before now!
