Evening all. Firstly, this is just very basic comparisons. There aren't many companies on AIM to compare with. I like to look at companies within the same locations. In Nic, we have 3 TSX listed mining companies. I'll rule out calibre as they are too big and have a big footprint in Canada and less so in Nevada, so not point trying to compare ourselves with them.
The other 2 are Mako and Mineros. Mako are smaller but have a strong ish growth pipeline with 2 other projects outside in Nic in Guyana and recently in Arizona. Mineros on the other hand is a great comparison as to where we could be in the next few years. They have 2 producing assets, one in Nic, the other in Bolivia.
Mineros 2025 guidance is circa 210,000oz gold at circa $1700 AISC. Simple numbers at $2700 gold gives $210m per annum. Once La India is in production, if we use $2700 gold and AISC $1,100 on 145,000oz, we get a very similar number per annum of $232m.
Mineros market cap is CAD $524m, which is £292m, which would equate to just over 11p per share for us. Obviously this is just one comparison and there are lots of other metrics etc you could use, but I would be very happy with 11p come 2027 and that doesn't give any value to what we have in the Philippines.
More than happy for others to take a look at Mineros to see the similarities and open for feedback. Comparing companies working in the same locations is probably the closest you are going to get to get a rough idea of potential value going forwards.
