RE: 280 bollion11 Oct 2021 13:19
When on Saturday I said $280bn in-the-ground I was simply using figures in GMF78’s tweet (that CAW1 copied onto this BB) suggesting we’d be looking at 0.05% fee for what’s in the ground to take over ROSGEO’s 25% of our JV.
The maths is: We have €35m in the bank. At 0.05% fee this is then has a value of $70bn (35m divided by 0.05%). This $70bn of in ground resources (assuming we spend all the $35m) represents a quarter of what is in the ground in the ROSGEO JV. So, therefore, this gives a total of $280bn in the JV.
I am not saying the original tweet is right or wrong. Or that any of this is fact. Was just playing with the figures on an idle Saturday evening.
As a sanity check, with VERY back of the fag packet figures, if the original JV suggests 104Moz of Palladium equivalent. Palladium as posted earlier is currently €2200/oz, then the 104M0z would be worth €228bn, ignoring whatever else is in there or not. With an 18% resource upgrade with JORC (I recall one of our assets recently has a 70% resource upgrade) we reach similar figures of c.$280bn. This sort of sanity checks it in my head… at least gives two different ways of reaching the same conclusion about the sort of ball-park we are talking of. Nobody knows what is there exactly, so this is simply my basis for a ‘best guess’.
We then have 80% of MT and Flanks to add to this as well as our assets at WK.
I’m not saying the original tweet was right. Just playing with numbers. Not even looking to include what % a buyer would pay, extraction costs, taxes, bank fees yah-de-yah…. But a conservative 5% of in-ground and, and using £0.24 per $bn sale price per share (Don’t know how realistic that is on todays fx £$ rate is), this is north of £3 a share. I think that is very possible indeed.
All just messing with the confirmed info available to us, mixed with some unconfirmed opinion. I’m sure some naysayer will enjoy ripping these very-top-level-full-of-assumption workings apart... Good Luck to all GENUINE holders.
