Bonkers,
Ethiopia had civil conflict from circa 2019 to 2022, a corrupt minister of mines and the Covid epidemic.
Understandably, these events which were completely outside of Kefi's control had a massive impact on timelines and analysts prior views. For you to be bringing them up now shows either a lack of knowledge, understanding or simply being disingenuous.
The good news is that Ethiopia is undergoing a dramatic change with a many businesses now wanting to establish themselves. Our recent mining contractor paying to be involved clearly illustrates this.
NPV's are a good guide at this stage as to the value at production start, at which point free cash flow takes precedent.
Tulu Kapi is forecast to generate circa $250m per year in distributable cash, circa 2.5p per share per year, for 8 years.
A share price around 12 - 15 at production start next year is perfectly reasonable in my opinion.
The share price will now simply make its way towards it in waves
There will most likely be a takeover offer following finance sign, obviously the closer to production we get the higher the offer will need to be.
