WH Ireland take on Valuation for anyone who does not have access to the note
"Our fair value range for Arc is between 6.0p and 13.3p on exploration success and up to 20.0p, if a resource can be established. This is set against the current share price of 3.8p. We choose to show a valuation range for Arc. We see the obvious short-term value in the Cheyeza East oxide (and Kalaba) projects and the value in the exploration licences held in Zambia and Botswana, but this does not incorporate properly the potential for exploration success and what that could do to the share price. Providing a range is not our normal approach to valuation. However, in our opinion, there is extraordinary potential of the licences in Zambia, given their relationship and proximity to the newest and largest copper mines in Zambia: Sentinel, Lumwana and Kansanshi. This is especially the case as the controls on mineralisation are starting to be much better understood with companies looking outside of the traditional “Ore Shale” for new deposits. Investors need only to consider the scale of the Greenfields discovery of the Kamoa-Kakula deposit, now commissioning in the DRC, to see the potential that still exists in this century-old mining district: Kamoa-Kakula – 1,387Mt grading 2.7% copper (Indicated) and 339Mt grading 1.7% copper (Inferred). We have determined that showing a single valuation for this “potential” does not do justice to Arc and the strategic location we see in its licences."
