Also worth noting that mining projects at the MRE stage can be valued at 30% of NPV which in SML ‘s case would give a valuation of approximately 12p per share. This is very much dependent on a whole host of factors such as jurisdiction, ease of ore recoverability/ processing, ore classification, debt, income ( which most junior miners don’t have but SML do via Cobra)plus many other factors. This valuation rises to 60% at the PFS stage, 80% upon construction and 100% when in production.
Note that none of these valuation measures are set in stone and can vary considerably as a project moves through the mining cycle however it does give an industry accepted method ( there are other methods) of attributing an estimated value to a mining project. For this reason I believe we will see Zeus issue a fair value note of around 12p on Redmoor/ SML. But of course II would urge everyone to do their own research! GLA
