Ok how to attribute value to mining discoveries at various stages.
First when we were at PEA, we were about 10% of NPV.
Today at PFS at the lower end we are 30% of NPV and at the higher end 40% of NPV.
So NPV from memory (Please adjust if I am wrong) is 4.3 billion dollars.
So, convert dollars to pounds at 1.21 dollars to the pound is 3,559,838,399.89
Shall we call it 3.5 billion pounds.
Let's do the 30% calculation first:
30% of 3.5 billion pounds is 1.05 billion pounds.
We currently have 2.296 billion shares in issue.
So, 1.05 divided by 2.296 = 45.73 pence a share shall we say 46 pence.
Now the calculation at 40%.
40% of 3.5 billion pounds is 1.4 billion pounds.
So, 1.4 divided by 2.296 = 60.97 pence a share shall we say 61 pence a share.
Let's remember this is for Alpala only and doesn't take into account Porvenir or any other tenement.
So, what happens if we carry on to DFS well the calculation is 50% of NPV.
Do the calculations yourself.
Now these are rough estimates based on various stages of exploration.
It does not include the IRR and I feel that Alpala's last PFS would Favour the reduced build and faster open cut to production.
So, I have given minimum bids, however I don't believe any major holder would sell out to any other major holder at these levels and could gain an advantage in a JV with us on Alpala.
This is what makes the most sense to me, given the current circumstances.
