5% Reposting (Cannacord $280m)26 Jan 2022 14:05
So now that they’ve fixed the site and we can see old posts, I thought I’d repost this from when the note came out. Turns out it wasn’t $228m but $280m. Go figure (hands out emoji)
Reposting coz I like it and think it’s pretty close to what we might get if the brokers valued it. (I’d hazard a guess any third party, if needed, will probably use same workings). Think using the broker note as a basis is better than any wild guesses.
Cannacord note -
"FMV assessment are likely to range from $25m, based on 5% of the South-East Crescent NPV estimate in the initial PFS to our estimate of $280m based on our estimate of gold ounces likely to be in the ground"
So, it's not a range as such. The $25m is for the PFS and the $280m is for the total ounces Cannacord are expecting to be proven up currently. Two different values, as opposed to a range. Makes me think they don't know what will be used. Clarification would be good. But back to the $280m valuation. Brokers past notes have used between 10-12moz total current predictions. Using these we can calculate Cannacord's price for each "in-ground" ounce of gold.
10moz @5% = 500koz
$280m divided by 500koz = $560 per ounce "in-ground" value
12moz @5% = 600koz
$280m divided by 600koz = $466.66 per ounce "in ground" value
Sounds to me like we will be getting closer to the $280 estimation as I would expect the deal to include all estimated current ounces at least! Maybe the final decision will be timed to coincide with the MRE2 where they are able to put a line in the sand in terms of ounces and potential ounces.
Happy with the new news, hoping like crazy that future ounces are included somehow, but the above "in-ground" value of each ounce is very good in my eyes from Cannacord.
