That is the dichotomy. The value is already there but the market doesn't recognise it.
1. What is Migori worth?
2. 1.2mil oz gold hard rock valued in the ground at $10 an oz is $12mil: at $20 it is $24mil: at $30 it is $36mil.
3. If you look at the reports from the, the JORC clearly states that the resource was open as to depth and extent: ie., there is more.
4. The Macalder Tailings is 68k oz of gold at 3 g per tonne, 1.28 mil oz of silver and the copper is about 3%. RRR had submitted a mining application on the tailings back in 2012 and it should be able to refresh that application under the Mining Act 2016 and submit it pretty quickly.
4. The value of the metal in place at Macalder is well over $200mil. The cost to set up is about $3/$4mil and the original plan was to mine it over 4 years. The opex cost was carried by the gold and was about $900 per oz. On that basis the silver and copper is largely in for free.
5. So what is Macalder worth its own? Certainly $25mil and probably a lot more.
If these assets held by another company and AB was not involved, the sp would be up around 4p. That is your conundrum. Migori alone should be $50/$60mil.
Hopefully, AB gets on with it asap: 1. get the JORC updated 2. Get the mining license application in for Macalder 3. Gets his JV sorted 4. Starts the work to upgrade and expand the asset.
