Largo update16 Sep 2018 11:16
Now that we own 75% of Vametco, it is worth revisiting the Largo comparison.
Using the current V2O5 price of $20 per lb and assuming Largo’s costs are unchanged, Largo will achieve a net margin of 64.5%.
The current FeV price is over $90 per kg. If we add our 5% Nitrovan premium, we get in excess of $95 per kg.
Assuming Vametco’s costs are $30 per kg, Vametco achieves a minimum 68.4% net margin.
If we then look at production capacity, asset share, vanadium price, together with margins, I calculate that Vametco is now worth 64% of Largo (using 3,750 tonnes production and 75% share).
As Largo closed at CAD$2.85 on Friday night, it has a fully diluted EV of £1.16billion.
64% of this gives BMN a comparable value of £742m.
That is 66p per share, based on a fully diluted 1.12 billion shares.
That is just for Vametco.
Also bear in mind that Largo is considered undervalued at its current price.
We still have a lot of catching up to do! :)
