RE: 100% ofHav/Telfer10 Mar 2024 14:06
Let’s say gold is $2500 and ounce and AISC $1500 to be conservative, so $1000 profit per ounce. If Telfer was producing 200,000 ounces a year and Havieron another 200,000 ounces a year, a total of 400,000 ounces.
At $1,000 profit an ounce = $400,000,000 USD profit. That’s a lot of free cash to pay down debt rather quickly plus invest in other projects etc etc. After say 3 years GGP should be debt free.
You can change assumptions on annual production plus annual profit per ounce to arrive at various annual free cash flow. The economics do look good.
Let’s say 250,000 ounces for Telfer and 250,000 for Havieron, total 500,000 ounces.
Using above figures of $1,000 profit per ounce is $500,000,000USD free cash flow. Let’s now change gold prices to $3,000 and profit per ounce per to $1500. Free cash flow is now $750,000,000USD. The range of possibilities are fantastic if GGP can buy both Telfer plus Hav plus the other Paterson JVs from Newmont. Buy it all. Bank funding would be paid back in a couple of years.
