Sumo, optimistic or realistic? Think 25,000 tonnes of copper after costs @ $4,300 = $ 107, 500, 000. Taking a slightly more pessimistic ratio for cobalt of 8-1 rather than the indicated 6-1 and production costs at roughly 50 percent more than copper gives 3125 tonnes @ $ 40,000 = $125,000,000. Taking a very pessimistic PGM tally of 78,000 ( likely to be much more with the expansion plans) would equate on an annual basis to 1.39 the last operational report. So 30M x2= £60M ( annualised ) x 1.39 = £83,400,000 plus 30 percent for increase in basket price = £108,500,000. Convert the copper and cobalt earnings to pounds 232,500,000 divide by 1.37 ( exchange rate) = £169,708. Add the PGM earnings £108,500,000 = £278,000,000. Allowing for tax and central costs gives £190,000,000. Apply Standard mining PE of 15 and divide by current market cap 275M gives a factor of 10.36. So 10.36 x 12.90 equates to £1.33 per share. There is still elephant 2 to consider! Oh and any new projects! Mustn’t forget Kabwe!! I’m here for at least 3 or 4 years- hardly any of this value is backed in yet. Just my optimistic ( or realistic ) thoughts!
