"...With all that going on, we have to mention that the Feasibility Study (FS) announced in June 2020 highlighted a dramatic share price disconnect. Khemisset came through the FS with flying colours demonstrating potential to be a world class, low capex, high margin potash mine. The post-tax NPV(8) came out at US$1.4 billion, with a 38.5% IRR plus robust cash generation. With the FS in place and the new lower up-front capex, financing discussions can now be finalised and there is a clear pathway to allow production to start as early as 2022. These might look like ambitious plans, but the Emmerson management team has always been ambitious and has not disappointed us yet.
We remain positive that that Khemisset has the potential to become a highly profitable project. With the shares currently standing at 4.25p. we are happy to confirm our Conviction Buy stance.
