Jeremy Gray, CEO of Chancery Royalty
Some salient points related to Kefi discussed, covering Gold price forecast, number of Gold ounces forecast at Tulu Kapi, and Kefi being 'bought out' forecast.
______________
Pretty volatile couple of weeks since the Iran invasion. Look, we've had a pretty bullish call on Gold for the last 18 months, and we predicted it to hit $5000 a while ago and we're seeing it going up to $7000 by the end of this year. Now, of course, its a roller coaster as well and it might have its bumps along the way.
Tulu Kapi came on our watch list just before Christmas. Another royalty group had spent many months negotiating with Harry about a royalty.
It's probably the best undeveloped Gold mine in Africa, and East Africa, it's this new area. Harry describes Ethiopia as Western Australia fifty years ago. He's basically fully funded now to start construction at Tulu Kapi. I saw it and knew instantly that it's our fourth royalty that we must have, so we've invested $20 Million in that royalty.
I was with Harry over the weekend, it's funded a lot by two big African banks, ourselves and equity investors. I think it's going to be a tremendous success.
Going back to Ethiopia for a minute, I was shocked at how modern, advanced and booming that country is. I think a lot of people think of that country and think of 'Live Aid' and Bob Geldof, all that stuff from the 80's, and now this place looks like Dubai. Obviously now, it's a better place than Dubai (referring to Iran), the country's booming, and I was taken aback at just how amazing everything looks, and East Africa is the new frontier, because West Africa has been picked over by the big players and by the Chinese.
Kefi, the same, long life, life of mine, I think there's at least 3 Million Ounces.
Kefi is a very special asset in a very special part of Africa, and honestly, I said this to Harry on the weekend, 'you're going to build this half built and someone like Endeavour (EDV in Ftse 100) is going to buy you', and then our royalty is going to become even more valuable, when a major like Endeavour picks that up. You'll notice Allied Gold, in Ethiopia down the road from us, just got bought for $4 Billion by Zijin in China.
