Now it becomes a question of what grade we apply to the ore. To provide a range of potential outcomes, let’s apply three scenarios (note that we divide by 31.1 because this is the number of grams in one troy ounce):
-LOW: 1 g/t ore, which results in roughly 3,900,000 ounces of gold ( (120,000,000 X 1) / 31.1 );
-MID: 1.5 g/t ore, which results in roughly 5,800,000 ounces of gold ( (120,000,000 X 1.5) / 31.1 ); and
-HIGH: 2 g/t ore, which results in roughly 7,700,000 ounces of gold ( (120,000,000 X 2 ) / 31.1 )
Now, we have to assign a valuation to each ounce contained within the Havieron. The table below, taken from our recent report on Greatland, demonstrates the value of a few of Australia’s largest gold miners, in US dollar per resource terms.
If we take a relatively conservative view and assume that each Havieron ounce is valued at $200, then the total value of Greatland’s 30% project interest (on the assumption that Newcrest takes a 70% stake) is as follows:
-LOW: $234 million (£178.7 million) ( (3,900,000 X 200) X 0.3 )
-MID: $348 million (£265.8 million) ( (5,800,000 X 200) X 0.3 )
-HIGH: $462 million (£352.8 million) ( (7,700,000 X 200) X 0.3 )
