Ok. So Nickel is up another 3% or just shy of.
Current price as I type is 11600.
Now with smelter coming in to play here soon we should realise 85% of Nickel price from sales. Call it 80% to account for the running costs.
So... 80% of 11600 is $9280.
Current AISC for Nickel are $5150.
So ASA makes $9280-$5150= $4130 for every ton of Nickel it sells.
The most recent Quarter ASA sold 1971t but that is expected to increase given new equiptment. So say we produce 2050tons.
Thats... 2050t x $4130 (profit made per ton) = $8,466,500 per quarter which is $33,866,000 per year from Nickel converted into GBP = £27.3mil
NOW FOR GOLD.
Targetting 17500oz of gold sales per quarter which I think the BOD is more than capable of achieving.
AISC are expected to go as low as $950 per oz. If the Gold price stablises around $1350 per oz then ASA stand to make $400 per oz.
So eventually we could expect profits from gold of $400 (profit per oz) x 17500oz (produced) = $7,000,000per quarter which is $28mil per year, converted into GBP = £22.6mil
NOW FOR DIAMONDS- Currently making around £1.1mil per year from these.
So thats £27.3mil+£22.6mil+1.1mil=£51mil.
If you are really conservative and value company at x3 yearly profits then the company would need to be valued at £153mil. If you value company x 7 which then that equals £357mil mcap making ASA a 4 - 9bagger from current levels depending on which ratio you go by.
And all of this could be the case in the not distant future.
That's not to mention the value of the other assets we have which are described as company makers. Or the money expected back from court proceedings.
