Potential Increase of Market Cap1 Aug 2021 19:37
I’ve been looking at how the market cap increased for other small cap miners after making a discovery, and over what timescale. OK this may be irrelevant as we don’t know what we have yet but it does show the potential increase and how quickly they can rerate.
My starting point for the figures below, was NOT the lowest the sp was, but the point just before the main rerate. In my comparison companies below, the sp had stated to climb and then had fallen a bit after the initial climb. The start point was a few months before the main rerate . End point was highest sp.
I would say our equivalent starting point would be at the recent low of 3.2p (after the share rise to 9p and then the fall back).
Greatland Gold
MC £65M to £1473M. Increase of £1408M over 12.5months
SolGold
MC £68M to £1048M. Increase of £980M over 12months
Eurasia Mining
MC £96M to £1140M. Increase of £1044M over 8months
These increases support Commodity Fund Manager, Willem Middelkoop’s, assessment that the MC of these junior miners can easily increase by 250M to 1000M after a discovery.
As we have circa 1billion shares (fully diluted) those increases IF they happened to Xtract, would see an sp increase of between 98p to £1.40p (from 3.2p starting point)
Those MC increases are unlikely to happen here imho, but even at a relatively low increase (compared to the three examples) of £400M to £500M, that would see the sp around the 50p mark.
This may well be an unscientific comparison as all companies are obviously different, but it does show the fantastic potential here of a significant rerate if/when we start to get good news from phase 2 drill campaign.
