Comparing WRES, WLFE and ORM20 Aug 2018 14:47
Tempting as it must be, to use the 0.26% tungsten content as the only metric to make ORM look a lot better, Logic dictates that you should consider ALL the metrics involved.
Dr Ryan Long of Northland Capital has produced an excellent, authoritative and in-depth analysis of WRES, compared to about 20 other tungsten mines. Mostly the data is in graph form, but the opex of WRES is clearly shown to be about one third cheaper than ORM. About $50/mtu cheaper than WRES.
ORM only has 30% of the project, but we have 100% of La Parrilla, PLUS all the other assets.
ORM has three times the total WRES debt. Since WRES is spending $25m on La Parrilla, ORM then has FOUR times the La Parrilla project debt.
If I were in ORM, I would be selling to invest in WRES. I will not be suggesting that to ORM holders. If they work it out for themselves, fine. Otherwise, they can watch us over he next two months.
