The river pipe was up to 2.0m tonnes of kimberlite ore at a grading of 60 carats per hundred tonnes.
The rough diamonds are of gem quality and are priced at $220 per carat. ( I fancy a couple on 3ct rough stones, perhaps the company should do some mail order to shareholders!!!).
Anyway 2m/100 X 60 X 220/1.388 X 0.72 should be the value of the mined diamonds from the river pipe.
This comes to £137m less 30% mining costs gives £96m. But we have just doubled the resource and this comes in at 24.5p a share, however economies of scale would boost this by 5% to 25.7p. Leaving a profit in it for the buyer would release around 15.4p a share of cash flow which would pave the way for a 10p a share special distribution to shareholders.
Thoughts?
