I will post some stuff later. Align did a report that looked at Migori and there was an earlier report. The gold price now is much, much higher and so you would expect the value to be higher. At the time the struggle with the license started the JORC showed 1.2m oz of gold and 60k oz in tailings. They intended to do further work to take the JORC up to 2mil oz and I understand that the exploration on the license is just the tip of the iceberg.
If I remember rightly at 75% ownership the valuation figure was £12mil; we now own 100% and gold is $1,517 heading to $1,600 rather than being at $1,100. I suspect you could easily argue £20mil in the current market for the 100% but it might be affected by any attendant terms and conditions attached to the license renewal. If the license is clean with no restrictions and the price of gold holds then maybe £30mil. On renewal we have to pay away $2mil to our former partners.
The big issue for all the renewals, has been obtaining signed landholder consents for the license area in a jurisdiction where it is not always clear who the landholder is.
The USD/GBP exchange rate movement has moved strongly in our favour.
