The point of a Competent Person's report is that the resource will be attributed a value and could vastly increase the value of the company and ergo the share price.
1. CPR as a Valuation Trigger
A CPR, prepared under internationally recognised reporting codes such as JORC or SAMREC, converts raw exploration or operational data into a compliant Mineral Resource/Reserve. This transforms Munkoyo from being described simply in operational terms (“ore of \~2.5%–6% Cu”) into a quantified and verified asset with tonnage, grade, and confidence category (Measured/Indicated/Inferred). Once quantified, that resource can be modelled for NPV based on copper price forecasts, mining and processing costs, recoveries, and timelines — giving analysts and investors the ability to assign a hard dollar value.
2. Market and NAV Impact
Right now, Munkoyo’s contribution to Jubilee’s Zambian NAV is mostly via its current production flow. A CPR will let the market capitalise its future production potential rather than just current output and provide an estimated mine life. For investors, this removes part of the “discount for uncertainty” that applies when no independently verified resource figure exists.
3. Risk and Perception
If the CPR shows limited life or lower-than-expected grade/tonnage, it could also negatively impact NAV — so it’s not without risk.
However, given Jubilee’s own public comments on grade (>2.5% Cu shipped, with spot grades \~6% in places), the probability is that the CPR will validate attractive feed quality, supporting value uplift.
4. Wider Zambian Portfolio Effect
A strong Munkoyo (and Project G, other additional mines) CPR will de-risk Sable’s feed strategy, since it will prove to the market that its feedstock is guaranteed for X years into the future.
This simple step could have a ballistic effect on the SP.
