StephenX, how is saying 10p by Christmas (I actually said within 6 months) ramping?
Even using pessimistic figures:
1moz (more likely 3moz)
$4,000/oz gold (more likely $5,000/oz)
$1,200/oz AISC ($900/oz once debt is cleared)
25% discount for jurisdiction and time allowance for 36 months away from production (which is excessive)
($4000 - $1200) x 1m = $2.8b
80% equity = $2.24b = £1.68b
25% discount = £1.26b
divided by all shares and warrants (9.59b) = over 13p
That is very worse case scenario stuff. If I was ramping I would base that on 3moz+, $5,000/oz+, $900/ oz AISC, Include additional $100m+ for SA, allow 10% allowance for time, etc, etc.
If you are going to accuse me of "ramping", back it up with some substance...... otherwise it is just a regurgitation of all those posters who have accused me of ramping for the last two years, and told me that we would be lucky to see 1p on sign-off, and never in a month of Sundays would we get back to 2p, etc. You have a narrow perspective that is limited by your lack of experience and exposure. At 0.5p you see 1p as a ceiling. At 1p you see 2p as a ceiling, at 2p you see 5p as a ceiling.....
....When is it going to dawn on you that today's share price is determined by what might happen tomorrow, not what has happened yesterday!
Stop putting your finger in the air and 'guessing' the sp based on your feelings. Get out a pencil and a calculator and work it out.
10p is an incredibly conservative call, and I have zero doubt that we will easily surpass it in time. All it takes is discipline to ride out the volatility and patience to wait for the market to come to you.
