Though future SP6 pricing is inevitably an unknown what is and will remain certain throughout the chain in an expanding lithium demand economy is that the marginal costs bases has risen substantially and will remain high until EV take up approaches saturation. Presently average contract SC6 is going at 4.9k, I expect Ewoyaa will sell that product at between 2 and 4k over the LoM and would put the average at 3.2k. From that?
For Ewoyaa
SC6 production 300kt/y @ 3.2k/t
DSO fines sales 200kt/y @ 400/t
Ignore feldspar
Revenue 1040k
Minus royalties @ 3%
Minus OPEX of 150m
= 860m
- 20% tax
= 690m.
Atlantic own 45% of Ewoyaa
Revenue from Ewoyaa 310m
Atlantic costs, exploration etc 40m
Earnings 270m
PER 10 Mcap 2700m
Share issue 700m sp 385c, 320p
Distribution $130m, £105m. 15p per sh.
I see present pricing as a rare gift, but DYOR.
