RE: Investment Report: Newmont's Asset Divestiture and the Havieron Project4 Aug 2024 13:10
Hey Bamps,
I've been doing a little bit of research on selling mines. The average sale price is circa 5-10% of the value. Assuming the midpoint of 7.5%, that would mean:
70% of 8.4m oz = 5.88m oz x .075% = 441k oz.
The average price of gold over the last year was $2200. If we use an AISC of $700, that would be a net cost of 441k oz x $1500 = $661.5m to buyout the remaining 70% of Havieron.
Add in a few hundred million for Telfer, bearing in mind it's coming to the end of it's productive life, has huge remediation costs and not much feed to process, I believe a realistic valuation of about $400m would seem reasonable?
Therefore we could get the whole lot for about $1bn. About £775m all in.
That would give us 8.4m oz @ $1700 per oz ($2400-$700 AISC) = $14.28bn value, or £11.07bn = £2.21 per share of value. Obviously that £2.21 is not the actual sp, but if you divide it by a mine life of 8 years, and assume a PE of lets say 3, then your looking at 83p per share.
All the above ignores everything else we have.
Anyone have any thoughts on the above?
