Prob need to crunch some numbers23 Jan 2022 12:21
With prices at $400/tonne and pribtwo HWMs running insude 8 weeks as AW always seems to under promise I feel that an increase in c/v to £500M is a fait accompli and by end of March.
We have a minimum production by the first leased HWM of 40ktonnes per month and we have a contract for 22k tonnes with the balance to be sold in the open market and as the met coal price is rising this is extra for us.Once the second HWM is running our production will double.
Our plant has the capacity of washing met coal of up to 300M tonnes!!!
40000x12x400$×0.7 = £133MM
Net profit say £30M
Second HWM Doubles profit £60M
PE 12 £720M
These numbers IMO are Conservative.
As I said we can wash up to 300M tonnes of coal.
This week I am expecting two RNS and once the herd arrive £1/share will come really quickly. That values the co at £350M.
So for me 80p end of Feb £1 end of March/April.
Who knows how high this will go if momentum takes hold!!
In all honesty by year end ceterus Paribus I feel BEN will be a £1B Company
