At Gold of $1300 /oz
Silver $23 /oz
Copper (projected) $4 lb (read the FT article I posted earlier)
Annual cash flow of $43m (thats including the 25% gold impairment)
And annual capex costs of $28m
Profit of $15m, or £9.5m (exlcuding tax)
£9m (including tax, please correct me if I'm wrong, assuming 5% corporate tax)
With 'proved and probable' resources totalling:
24,000 tonnes of copper (of which 17,000 is proved)
115,000 oz gold (of which 67,000 is proved)
535,000 oz silver (of which 343,000 is proved)
And "of primary interest is the down plunge extension of the 1807 zone that, with a modest investment, Rambler’s geological team believes new resources and reserves can easily be added to the existing mine plan.
Sustaining these rates should value the company on a p/e of around 4-8 which would imply a valuation of around 42p - 84p per share.
Also "Whilst Nugget Pond was primarily acquired as a processing facility, the company recently said it was now investigating the gold resource potential within the 140L mining lease on the property which hosted a producing gold mine during the 1990s."
Now we all know what the worlds central banks are up to now, vast scale money printing which is not only inflating our debts away but also inflating 'real' assets. Currencies are struggling to devalue in order to once again become competitive to fend off the thing governments fear most - unemployment. This and the global back drop of mass consumption paints a fanciful picture for commodity investors.
