Analysts at VSA Capital have a ‘buy’ rating and 115p per share price target on Bacanora Lithium shares, well above the current level of 21.75p.
In a note focused on the Zinnwald license extension, the VSA analysts said, based on the previously defined resource, they have attributed a value of £38mln for the project, using a peer-based EV/resource metric, implying 10p per share.
They said that given the proximity of the German licenses and the reported geological similarity, given historic workings for tin, tungsten and lithium across both areas, in their view there is potential for an extension of mine life to that defined in the feasibility study..
The analysts pointed out that Bacanora is planning to produce a lithium fluoride product at Zinnwald, which is one of the most valuable lithium products with recent pricing indicated at around US$22,000 per tonne and could be used by the local German chemical industry.
The VSA analysts also noted Bacanora’s comments on recent share price volatility and the changes to its register prompted by investment strategy revisions at Blackrock and Capital Group.
They said: “With this technical selling now indicated to be complete we expect stronger support for the stock ahead from a trading perspective.”
Overall, the VSA analysts think the fundamentals for Bacanora remain unchanged with Sonora remaining a highly attractive asset which is, in their view, “deeply undervalued”.
