WHIreland - more than three scenarios4 Nov 2023 11:30
Enjoyed reading the broker's report and lots of chunky and tasty material there but....there are more than scenarios, some of which include not finding any meaningful commercial deposits for AA and which would tickle Arc up to 10 or 15p with additional equity if decided to go alone. But...I think more interesting and actually likely is finding two or three significant deposits. Remember the old AA hit list of 20 years ago with 20 or 30 potential sites within the area.pst of which were acquired by Arc. One of these, can't remember which was actually only half way down AA's list of most potentially significant, has gone on to become a large output site for Quantum or one of the other majors. AA knows much of the area already and their technology has moved on massively in the 20 years since they left Zambia. Plus Arc has been undertaking lots of its own new exploration. My guess is AA will find at least two, maybe three significant finds and two or three other deposits of copper and other minerals which are smaller and of less commercial interest for AA but still command investment from Arc or new JVs. If WHI believe a multiple of 15 times is possible with their scenario of just one significant commercial deposit...ideas on 2 or 3 significant deposits plus 2 or 3 other useful mineral deposits. ....30, 40, 50 times if comes to fruition...is actually far from improbable. NvS knows this. Remember he was at AA several years before Arc....and he has/had inside knowledge and access.
