I'm going to work this out on here, for those who don't deem Maths their strong point (and also for myself of course).
"Total of 104.6 Moz Platinum equivalent resources" .
- So today's price for Platinum is $1,174.81 per Oz.. Converted to GPB is £852.26 per Oz.
- £852.26 x 104,600,000 Oz = £89,146,396,000 (£89.6 Billion)
The RNS states the deal is to own 75% of this, so:
£89,146,396,000 x 0.75 = £66,859,797,000 (£66.8 Billion)
So, going by today's rate for Platinum, not considering future rise due to demand (and therefore a conservative estimate!), THE DEAL IS WORTH £66.8 Billion.. Wow, I'm thrilled with this. Well done everyone!! :)
One thing to factor in of course is the length of time it'll take to mine this. So lets say it takes 20 years as an example (I'm guessing this is reasonable for most?!).. That's £3.3 Billion a year.
I'm not so sure how the above will translate into our new Mcap, because they're different metrics for valuing companies.. but if we were to do a basic valuation of 5x year earnings, this would value us at approx £16.7 Billion (i.e. a SP of £6.05).
This is all without a FSA of our existing assets, which may well be likely :) Well done all who have held through the ups and downs, it's been a hell of a Journey!
