Love the last paragraph Jiving 🙌
After all, many major mining assets that are not listed, change hands at prices based around project valuation that can reach $ billions - Simandou being one example in the same sector as Zanaga. Its also noteworthy that the 50% of the Zanaga mine that was listed in the IPO in November 2010, was for an exploration asset that was in a far less developed state than it is currently. That was listed at 156p a share giving a market cap of £437m or double that for the entire 100% of the mine ie £874m - at the then FX that gives a valuation of almost exactly $1.4 billion. The all-time high (from a brokers report, maybe intraday) for the share is 222p or a market cap of £621m, double for 100% so £1243m & a USD valuation of over $2 billion. So historically the Zanaga mine (in a pre development state) has already been valued by investors as high as $2 billion! This surely leaves open the possibility that major global investors could value it at or above those levels today & that the 2 key holders/negotiators of 58% of the share capital would seek a valuation at or above that level?
