I'll go with January 2023, January 2024, and maybe January 2025 if the key optimizations are in place e.g. ore sorter, mill relocation etc. The only way the Mcap will get to £250m mcap is they're mining 10k tonnes per year with copper price @ +$10k per tonne, plus the cash cost profile has been reduced via the optimisations. People need to keep in mind this would be 7.5x current sp. Very realistic however that we'll be 2-3x in 12 months. Most important is for them to build an operation that makes them a consistent, high margin producer by the time the copper price starts to explode from 2025 onwards.
Results today were expected, which re-tells the turnaround story. But it remains a story until they show actual turnaround progress. Lots of investment. It's now about results. And this simply must start with the next monthly figure if they're to regain the trust of the market and the sp to re-rate as a result. Unbelievable buying opportunity for those with spare cash right now. I'm absolutely kicking myself for getting my timing wrong @ 28.5p. The question is whether to average down now... AIMHO GLA
