Hello CE
The caveat to my possible sub 0.8p ASK comment, as stated, was assuming there was no hard rock income. If there is any hard rock income then all bets are off . As Hard Rock income, unlike alluvial income, would be substantial and sustainable I think the sp would then rerate. I think it’s fair to say you can forget sub 0.8p ASK then !
As welcome as the higher POG is, this is not the driver for significant increased income. If you number crunch the last alluvial Q1 results and replace the last POG with this very high POG (I’m increasing our local gold sale figure by $100 an oz) we will get just over $5K a month extra income. That would not rerate the sp IMHO.
I expect Q2 alluvial income figures to be the best ever, but that will almost certainly be due to the increase in production (24 hrs X 200tph for ALL of Q2), and, maybe, better gold grades - not because of the increase in POG.
POG will only start to make a significant difference to the revenue when we get hard rock income. That said, irrespective of whether the POG is high or low, when we do get sustained hard rock income, even with say, a sub $1200 POG, we will then get an SP rerate (and a sustained rerate) as income figures would explode and be consistently high.
In short, alluvial income and a high POG are the icing on the cake. The cake is the hard rock income!!
Hopefully tomorrow we can get some clarity on the questions I’ve asked.
