KAT's current compliant resource base is 754,980 oz of gold, divided 515,110 oz at Imweru, which is the resource being currently worked on, and 249,870 oz at Lubandu.The JORC compliant resource estimate is currently 11.6 mt grading 1.38g/t for Imweru. A PEA was completed during 2015 and established a potential mine life of 7 to 10 years with an initial production of 50,000 oz. target date Q4 2018.
The company's brokers in their research note of 24 May 2017 took into account the stage of development then and calculated an implied equity value of £25.4m, to which they applied a 50% discount to account for execution, financing and dilution risks to arrive at a base-case risk-adjusted value of £12.7m or 11.7p per share.
Since they produced their research note, KAT have moved ahead with their licensing and are now involved in producing an updated MRS and PFS for Imweru, which we can reasonably expect in Q1 2018.
If all goes according to expectations, I don't expect to see the SP at this level once that update is announced. A possible bagger for 2018.
