A look at THX's portfolio tells you the growth story here,
1. Segilola has 2yrs left of original mine life, per Segun's last interview. Add say, just 2 or 3 years for open pit/satellite extension. then add at least 3 more for u/ground ops. That takes us to 2030, minimum.
2. Douta, PFS due next Q, and we know it will a very advanced PFS with a shortened timescale to DFS. There will be no difficulty securing funding, even self financing if necessary. This mine could easily be up and running by mid to end 2027.
3.Cote d'Ivoire. Guitry MRE by end 2025. How long to a working mine? 3 years? 4 max? Marahui close behind.
Add those 3 together, and depending on your guess as to annual production, THX will be producing a LOT of ounces in 2 years time, ans even more by end '28. If Segilola falls back a bit to say 60k, Douta kicks in with at least the same (and growing) and that's quite possibly 120k pa in '28. Add in Guitry in '29, and Douta ramp up, and 200k pa easily achievable. Marahui not even factored in, even tho it just might be the jewel in the crown.
Even if AISC rises a bit, that's $400m ebitda, pa. And I think my figures, tho complete guesses, err on the cautious side. I could easily conjure much higher figures. Of course there are risks, operational, political, and pricewise, so please do your own research, back of envelope scribbles, and see what you get. I'm only sketching out a ballpark.
But the above is why I'm not worried about a few profit takers on the way up.
