This week Goldman Sachs have increased their forecast copper price for this year to US$10,500/t retaining their long-term view of US$15,000/t. Along with others, Trafigura have also upgraded their copper price for this year to US$12,000/t. The latter part of the week the focus turned to gold with Goldman forecast price for this year improving to US$2050/oz Au up from $1950 previously.
This is all looking good for Asiamet and in particular the Beutong project and it's JORC compliant resource. Using $12,000/t Cu from Trafigura, $2050/oz Au from Goldman and silver at $23.25/oz, the figures for CONTAINED metal at Beutong are;
2.43mt Cu @ $12,000/t = $29.16B
2.11moz Au @ $2050/oz = $4.33B
20.9moz Ag @ $23.25/oz = $0.486B
Total US$33.98B
Current Asiamet m/cap is US$28.64M
The market can be irrational at times!
