Starzinc Royalty11 Aug 2021 21:43
So in good news, zinc price is the highest its been in a few years at over €3k per ton
"Royalty Payable to Galileo: Galileo will be paid a royalty on any future sales of zinc from the Star Zinc Project based on the zinc grade. The minimum royalty rate is 3% and increasing by 1% for each US$250 increase in the zinc price above US$2,500 per tonne up to a maximum of 10%. The current LME price for zinc is US$2,786 per tonne based on the London Metals Exchange closing cash price on 3 March 2021 being the last practical date before this announcement. If the Zinc concentrate grade is 25% for a sale at a zinc price of US$2,500 per tonne this would result in a royalty of US$18.75 / dmt whereas if the Zinc concentrate grade were 30% a sale at a zinc price of US$2,500 per tonne would result in a royalty of US$22.50 / dmt"
Example above calcs $2500 x 0.03 x 0.25 = $18.75 per ton of rock sold
For us we are way better, we are now at $3k per ton zinc price peaning a 5% royalty.
Using the starzinc Jorc there is approx 400k tons of rock at 20% zinc on average (yes it goes up to 40% but let's use 20% as a reserved estimate)
So
$3000 x 0.05 x 0.2 = $30 ton rock!!!!
Initial rock removal will be abit lower as per RNS, so the bottom end of the 6000-15000 tons per month
Again take the reserved numbers
6000 tons x $30/t = $180000 per month initially
Rising to
150000 x $30/t = $450k a month
All the above in the next couple of months, possibly starting next month after we get our $700k at the end of this month
Total revenue 400k tons x $30/ton = $12m (of prices stay as is)
400k/15000t/m = 26 months shortest. So €12m coming into the company in a little over 2 years!
This proves the current mcap alone just on the SZ revenue!
We then have our other assets ontop! So when we start getting our revenue.......this year!!!.....this should directly affect the mcap
We then have obviously KCB And other assets ontop
Next month or 2 will tell all and prove to be the turning of the company of our plans come off
