How risky?19 Jun 2024 15:25
Anyone better informed have any advice regarding the realistic chances of success/failure in Q3-4 as I’m trying to workout what proportion of my capital I should risk leaving invested in HEX at the time of the drill/flow test as whilst the continuing ascent of the share price in the interim would seem a pretty safe bet, at that point Hex suddenly becomes a bit of a gamble!
I’ve no idea how reliable the probability scores from Ryder Scott on page 107 of the admissions document are likely to be especially given the intriguing helium anomaly recorded near the Hillison wellbore, but if I’ve understood correctly the chances of ‘geologic discovery’ in at least one of the 4 formations is approx. 78%. Given that the volume of gas in the Amsden and Precambrian reservoirs are believed to be much smaller (looking at page 73 here), I presume however our focus is largely on the Flathead and Charles formations and the probability of geologic discovery in at least one of these is approx. 57%. The chances that all four chambers contain helium and the 2.3bcf figure is realised on the other hand would seem to be very small.
As flow rates, concentrations and potential technical problems are not I understand involved in the calculation of geologic discovery probability, would it be fair to characterize HEX’s prospects as follows: 1 in 4 chance of complete failure with all investor capital wiped out, 1 or 2 in 4 chance of a neutral outcome, i.e. a just about viable business but volumes/concentrations/flow rates insufficient to support further share price growth, and a 1 or 2 in 4 chance of a significant find with multibagger potential?
