No worries Serendipity..
Good excuse to post the calcs again. Very open to any criticism or critique on the assumptions and numbers. Note that imo this us uber conservative, and not at all speculative. Personally I expect a much larger upside, but this is my "low" calcs which I base investment decisions on....
....Take 1.7moz (very likely to end up 3moz+, as per latest DFS expecting another 1moz in under-ground mine).
Take todays price of gold (again looking likely to rise over the life of the mine) of $3,300 (already nearly $3,400 today!)
Take an AISC of circa $1,000 (again likely to be less than this, keeping debt repayment separate).
1.7moz @ ($3,300 - $1,000) = $3.91b
less the finance liability of $300m (EG's $20m becomes 20% equity) = $3.61b
KEFI will hold minimum of 80% (possibly 85%) = $2.888b for KEFI = Β£2.18b
There are 8b shares in issue, but if we divide that by 8.25b to be conservative = 26.4p per share
Add in a factor of say 10% for time (which will obviously decrease as we get to production) = 23.8p
Add in a risk allowance for jurisdiction, of say 20% (very conservative - 1 in 5 of it going tits up - unlikely) = 19p
Add in a general allowance for sp not always matching NPV of say another 10% = 17.1p
As you can see, it is talk of "I can see this getting to 2p / 5p / etc" which is stupid and based on nothing other than sentiment, lack of experience and short-sightedness.
If we were to say that, following ratification, there is still only a 50:50 chance of Tulu Kapi happening, then a sp of anything less than 8.5p is theoretically still very cheap, even before the definitive documentation is actually signed off. After that anything less than 15p-17p is cheap.
This is also completely disregarding GMCO and our other licenses, etc., and also the fact that investing in miners is speculative - we typically pay more than NPV on the gamble that KEFI are very likely to find significantly more gold - it's literally their business model.
Call it ramping, stupid, crazy, etc. if you like, but if you are going to say that I am wrong, at least post your valuation calculations to show me how KEFI is only worth 2p (Β£165m!!!)
