GUN Investment Summary21 Dec 2020 12:01
Updated post from 13-Nov-20 following recent RNS portfolio update, todays Rincon IPO and Peter Ruse PODcast https://total-market-solutions.com/2020/12/gunsynd_december-21-2020/ with 3x IPOs (Angold, Rogue Baron & Empress Royalty) due very soon.
GUN is an InvestCo with the ability to invest in companies pre-IPO at attractive SP rates via convertible loans (CLNs), warrants and/or shares to reflect the risk of investing in private firms & to realise that investment for a profit at a later date.
Updated position & expected news flow in order of impact/proximity Cost from RNSs & NAV figures are my estimates:
(1) Rincon (ASX:RUR) IPO: cost=£642.5k for 16.89% of Rincon or 8.46m shares & @A$0.305c =£1.4m @21-Dec-20 https://hotcopper.com.au/asx/rcr/ Rincon cash = £3.8m & 3x projects fully funded over 2-year programme
(2) Angold TSXV IPO: cost/NAV=£107k @RNS 30-Sept-20 for 462,500 shares @C$0.40c or 1.14%. IPO expected late Dec-20
(3) Rogue Baron (RB) ACQUIS IPO: cost = £498,575 @RNS 02-Jul-20. PR confirmed GUN hold for circa 29% and IPO underway expected in next few weeks. If RB NAV = £2,827,305 from HB share X Change then 29% = £820k pre-IPO.
(4) Empress Royalty TSXV IPO: cost/NAV=£146k for 1m shares @C$0.25c. @RNS 23-Oct-20. IPO underway expected early 2021 following C$8m capital raise.
(5) Sajawin: option to purchase Madagascar oil licence (cost £187.5k & NAV=£240k) price confirmed .. await update
(6) Eagle Mining (ASX:EM2): cost=£255k for 2.56m shares or 1.8% of EM2 @RNS 14-Oct-20. NAV=£537k value using SP A$0.415c (21-Dec-20)
(7) Pacific Nickel (ASX:PNM): purchased Kolosori Nickel Cost= £45k @RNS 26-Oct-20 and Sunshine Metals Cost £240k @RNS 21-Aug-20. Pacific Nickel capital raise @A$0.05c ... not clear exact GUN residual holding but max. £100k NAV assumed
(8) Djibouti oil licence held by SubCo - status update on way forward and/or exit (cost/NAV=£187.5k )
Forecast Cash Position: approx. £1m confirmed by PR on PODcast @21-Dec-20 plus Sajawin transactions due for minimum £240k subject to transaction update.
Enterprise NAV = £4.54m (NAV=£3,537.5k plus £1m cash) Note: Illiquid assets difficult to value & others at agreed price, but subject to a transaction closing, forthcoming IPO or are a listed stock. NB: NAV is very conservative figure if pre-IPO.
Commentary:
GUN MCAP=£7.3m @SP=2p. Cash to hand=£1m & ignoring £240k due on Salawin transaction closing.
Clearly there is a LOT going on right now with Rincon IPO last night and stunning 52.5% rise to A$0.305c with my near term target being A$0.6c to match Wishbone (AIM:WSBN) £18m MCap. Santa Ruse's PODcast today confirmed £1m cash at bank (my estimate spot on) and 3 more IPOs in the pipeline in the next few weeks that will enable the (very) conservative NAV figure to reflect a liquid price at IPO.
