E l, calibre are expecting to produce 180k oz min this year . Their costs are high but reducing . They have 16 rigs working on about 80k m . We are a long way from being as big as them .
If you look at the link I posted to them it will give you a better idea of all the various expenses that come out before profit is determined to give a p/e . Cnr are listed in uk where I would imagine cnr also have to pay tax,exploration costs,impairments etc . I think you have made this mistake before with a comparison with aaz I think by not taking on board all of the costs before profit is declared . I would say studying the finals of calibre or similar company would give a reasonable idea of possible profit levels ,obviously when debt free.
As to debt free , also in response to simms ,there is no way that cnr will pay a dividend before being debt free which is one reason why it is important . The thought that in 3 years cnr will have produced at a commercial level for a year are rather hopeful imv simms .unfortunately most on here when making forward projections string many very positives together to make one very optimistic forcast. Another reason it is important is that should the gold price crash ,being debt free can be the difference between being profitable or loss making . Simms , imv there is no chance that cnr will be paying a dividend in three years time .I would be surprised if it is in five years time . I would look into how long after production generally miners start to pay a dividend and how many actually pay 8 pc in their first year . Good luck with that. Buy cey now if you want dividends.or aaz.
However, mc has stated his aim to progress in following years to £180 m and underground development ,so I dont see large dividends for a long while .
Totally agree that if gold price rockets over the longterm ,ie 5 years, then the upside could be considerable but presently gold has been in a 1 year pullback that few here anticipated . We are also heading into high inflation which will hopefully push gold up, but will also push fuel, power and labour costs up . Hopefully I am overly cautious but hasnt been the case for quite a long time .
