NPV Valuation: 168p/s
An accelerating programme of underground development is delivering improvements in tonnages processed, grades, recovery rates and copper production at the Ming mine in Newfoundland.
The recent discovery of a new mineralised zone near existing underground infrastructure east of the main Lower Footwall Zone highlights the mine’s underexplored character.
Despite relatively low levels of past exploration, the mine has an established history of resource replenishment exceeding mining depletion with recent drilling showing both grades and mineralised widths improving at depth providing a long mine life with expansion potential.
As drilling ramps up and development accelerates, the turnaround of the Ming mine is now gathering momentum with copper output expected to double the 2021 levels in 2022.
Rambler Metals operates in an established mining jurisdiction rated among the 10 most attractive places for mining investment globally.
Based on SP Angel’s long term commodity price forecast of US$10,500/t copper, we estimate an NPV6% of US$362m or 168p/share.
