Just reviewing the latest broker note from WHI regarding copper and note their forecast of 13,000 tonnes for the current year. Given their fairly accurate production forecasting to date, this may be a good figure to use for current year predictions. Whilst they have under egged values their production forecasts have been fair. We know Leon has stated production costs of $4,000 per tonne. Even if you increase this to $5,000 that leaves $4,000 per tonne @13,000 gives you $52M . If copper prices increase later this year as forecast this could be very interesting. Cobalt news will be very interesting too. Add this to PGM and Chrome production and cash generation will be significant this year. With mounting cash generation, what growth and new development can be expected over the next couple of years? In my view, with this much potential the markets have hung this share unnecessarily. This has to be temporary and a major over reaction with cash being generated for fun. The reality of the fundamentals, quality and speed of growth have to shine through very soon! A major re- rate has to follow the cash generation. Let’s have some surprise quarterly figures Leon and an updated broker report please WHI.
