Amapa book value3 Mar 2023 07:41
In light of the updated corporate presentation, I'm looking to understand how this might be reflected in our year end accounts in relation to Amapa.
The way I see it this:
"Investment Update" (31 October 2022)

The total value of these three items is approximately US$3.3 million. Cadence requires no additional capital raising to increase its stake
Once complete, Cadence will have acquired 30% of Amapa for approximately US$9.3 million. Anglo-American valued its 70% stake in Amapa at US$ 462 million (100% US$ 660 million).
]===
makes the book value of every % point we own of Amapa worth $1.1m, meaning the current book value of our total 30% is $33m, off an investment of $9.3m.
Which means to 2022 year end our initial investment in Amapa, on the books, will be reported to have grown by 254%. Pretty impressive!
Is that right? And if so, would it have made sense to buy the final 3% for more? lol. Though if I recall correctly it's possible to deduce that each additional % point above 27% is pre-defined in the JRP valuing the whole at $110m, so perhaps not - and besides, it would be a kind of crazy strategy if we elected to pay more for it in order to inflate the book value of what we already own. Or would it? lol. Maybe the market thinks (incorrectly) that is what we have done and is the reason Amapa value isn't currently reflected in the sp currently? I guess it's impossible to know the reason why the current mcap is so far below book value NAV. Hopefully this'll change very soon, so much news in the near pipeline! ;-)
