This report highlights huge potential KEFI offers - understand HAA delay risks, but offer potentially huge rewards for the risks.. SP was at 2.25p when this report was generated :) Enjoy reading..

Highlights from Orior Capital report - see link in my previous post
KEFI looks compellingly cheap: KEFI looks cheap, both in comparison to other African gold companies, and also in terms of its price to NPV. The market is valuing KEFI at an EV of just US$409/oz of planned annual gold production, and ascribing no value to Hawiah, or to the company’s other assets. This valuation represents a 59% discount to a sample of 5
African gold explorers and developers that trades at an average EV of US$1,001/oz.
Valuing Tulu Kapi in line with peers, and Hawiah as a copper exploration asset, suggests a current valuation of 5.4p/share. This is 2.4x the current share price. Bringing Tulu Kapi on stream is expected to drive a substantial re-rating: A sample of
8 African gold producers, with output ranging from 55,000 oz pa to 258,000 oz pa, is currently trading at an average EV of US$3,239/oz of annual production. This is more than 3x the market valuation of the explorer and developer group. Valuing Tulu Kapi as a production asset, and factoring in modest further development at Hawiah, could underpin a valuation of 12.3p/share. This is 5.5x the current share price. Tulu Kapi is expected to commence production in 1Q23. If this valuation is achieved in two years, it would represent an annual return of 134%.
A ‘blue sky lite’ scenario – ‘lite’ because the real blue sky scenario is to discover another Tulu Kapi in the Ethiopian exploration licence area – might include an additional 100,000 oz pa production at Tulu Kapi, and expansion of the Hawiah resource to say 100mt (5x the current resource). In this scenario, KEFI shares could be worth 20.7p/share, roughly 9x
the current share price. KEFI also looks cheap compared to its NPVs. Combining the expected 65% stake in Tulu
Kapi with its 34% stake in Hawiah, the company has a total attributable NPV of US$333m at US$1,800/oz gold. This represents 13.8p/share; the shares are trading at just 16% of this valuation. As these projects are further developed, the NPV is likely to rise. Doubling the size of the underground resource at Tulu Kapi and extending the underground mine life
from 4 years to 8 years, and doubling the size of the resource at Hawiah, could generate an ‘Enhanced NPV’ of 19.5p/share. These are reasonable exploration targets over the next two years that could underpin a 40% uplift in NPV/share.
