@VauxhallViva, I agree with wasa.
The development of the mine would be valued differently on the balance sheet and how the market perceives its value. The debt will of course be recorded as a liability on the balance sheet but at the same time, the mine should be recorded as an 'Asset in construction' on the balance sheet. The amounts spent on the production will be debited to a long-term asset account categorised as Construction Work-in-Progress. Construction Work-in-Progress is often reported as the last line within the balance sheet classification Property, Plant and Equipment. There will of course be no depreciation of the accumulated costs until the project is completed and the asset is placed into service. When the mine comes into production, it's accumulated costs will be removed from the Construction Work-in-Progress account and will be debited to the appropriate plant asset account.
Equally, market cap will be calculated by the share price and shares in circulation. Of course, this will be dependent on market sentiment.
What makes me confident about this share is that the projected NPV of the project is currently significantly higher than the current market cap!
Let's get this rolling.
