FAR - Story So Far (Summary)24 Mar 2021 22:08
From my post last week.
Quick recap for any new holders.
ALL FACTS based on presentations/interviews/website.
1. Will become the largest Vanadium producer in the world
2. Will be the lowest cost producer in the World
3. BFS due within next few months (someone mentioned July/August) - As CEO says ' this will electrify the share price'
4. NPV - $2billion, most likely to be revised up, a very conservative price used
5. IRR - 89%, could be revised up (unheard off)
6. Payback Period- 1 year, again could be revised down lol
7. Cost of production - $1.54, lowest in the world (When including all the by products, Vanadium gets a credit of $1.20 /lb, completely unheard off)
8. ALL infrastructure already in place, I.e Power, water, roads, rail
9. Ex CEO of Xtrata and Anglo American have bought in through their green vehicle Vision Blue
10. Ex CEO of Xtrata - Sir Mick Davis, will become Chairman of Ferro Alloy
11. Vision blue, Sir Mick' fund, has options to buy upto $20mln worth of shares at 78pence!!!!!
12. Unique asset, unlike any other asset, therefore easy to mine and process
13. Open Pit Mine
14. ALL equity dilution now done, all going to be going to Vision Blue, so in sticky hands
15. With the current mini processing of 1500 tonnes a year, revenue should be $27m at current prices, $10m free cash flow, backing up current market cap, hardly anything baked into consideration for the big mine
16. Only 1 ore body explored, there are another 4!!
17. LSE MAIN MARKET Listing
18. Battery Metal
19. Vanadium will be in deficit from 2021 onwards
20.ALL the due diligence has been done by Sir Mick and his team
21. This is not just a financial investment. Sir Mick and team will be providing all their technical expertise, experience and utilising their contact book, to take this to the next level, and into production!
22. Target price from last year 171pence, after BFS expect this to be revised up.
23. Location - Easily transport to China/Europe by rail
24. Transfer of 16.7m shares on 24/03/2021 from CEO to new and existing institutional investors @ 30pence!!
25. Sir Mick in due course is bringing in an Xtrata colleague to the board of FAR, he has been running a Large Vanadium Mine in South Africa!
26. Deposit big enough for stage 3, stage 4, if demand changes in the future, could easily ramp up.
27. Sir Mick will construct his own team from all his contacts in the mining world to take this to production. Very clearly stated in his interview he is not a passive investor in FAR
28. 2 BOD members hold 35% of all shares. With other institutions and now Vision Blue holdings in FAR, free float must be very small.
This will be multiples. The asset is world class, and now we have world class investors and management to take this to the next level!
A big gap between current MV and $2bln Net PRESENT value, or maybe even more! Sir Mick reiterated numerous times in the interview h
