RE: Another failed attempt to stop shipping6 Mar 2021 14:10
news:
The NPV which is the impaired valuation from memory is what Anglo American assigned to it following the accident now almost 10 years ago. Im going from memory here but I do recall Kiran stating the un impaired valuation was circa $1 billion.
The NPV is sensitive mostly to the price you sell the metal. As I have stated, if you wish to keep the $61 price and base our calculations on that- then that's fine.
Oher companies release NPV's at different metal prices. BZT is one of them, where they have given a range of NPV's at copper prices which show how sensitive the NPV can be to the metal price.
If you wish to base the NPV calculations on todays price - then that's fine or maybe go somewhere in between. As I have stated the ore which is ready for shipping is now worth circa $240 million so it is pointless using the $61 for this as it is starting likely next few weeks. The key here will be the monies received should cover most if not all the capex needed for main mine. previously when $61 it wouldn't of course. We have to wait to fine out further down the line what % KDNC will take and what they will need to pay. That's for another day.
My opinion is Kiran should release more figures based on an increased metal price if folks want to see it.
