it is… and yep… the deal is done… with the historical creditors way back when the jrp was approved… and now the deal is also done with the secured bank creditors… which is is the last remaining condition of our investment that everyone has been impatiently waiting for… and as stated… cadence has already commenced it’s next stage of investment in the amapa project to increase it’s stake to 27%… which confirms that we will in fact be exercising that option…
looking forward to it… it’s not just a q&a though… it’s an updated investor presentation… so we should get an updated version of what was being discussed a little last night… maybe this one with some actual dates on it… rather than showing the project start date from the bank settlement at week 1 month 1… i can see from the updated google maps that they have actually started already… 3 months ago… site establishment/set up… if nothing else since… anyone have the w3w location for the mine to hand…
probably a little premature with the $30m though… when valued at the same time as the bcn takeover maybe… but not now… as that doesn’t reflect the significant de-risking of the project and increase in value that comes with ganfeng as our 70% jv partner… specially if that was typical of the what may have been required in the conditional contract we secured with tesla… maybe now we can be looking at the previous pre-tax valuation… $45m…
but what is more interesting… i think… is looking at what ganfeng paid relative to the feasibility study project… post-tax npv8…
bcn feasibility study at $11/kg… 88% la ventana… 12% jv… 96.4% ganfeng… 3.6% kdnc… post-tax npv8 $800m… $770m / $30m… 50% x 28.88% = 14.44% + 50% = 65%… 65% ganfeng… 35% bcn… just bought for $272m… $770m x 35% = $269m… $272m / $269m = 100%…
kdnc scoping study at $6.5/kg lce… post-tax npv8 $1,124m… 100% $1,124… kdnc $337m 30%… ganfeng $787m 70%…
it’s the 100% that is most interesting to me… generally… maybe ganfeng will buy us out of this 17.5/35ktpa project for $30m… retaining the jv’s as they are… until they too are suitably developed for a sale…
looking at what ganfeng paid relative to the feasibility study project… pre-tax npv8…
bcn feasibility study at $11/kg lce… 88% la ventana… 12% jv… 96.4% ganfeng… 3.6% kdnc… pre-tax npv8 $1,250m… $1,205m / $45m… 50% x 28.88% = 14.44% + 50% = 65%… 65% ganfeng… 35% bcn… just bought for $272m… $1,205m x 35% = $421m… $272m / $421m = 65%…
kdnc scoping study at $6.5/kg lce… pre-tax npv8 $2,000m… 65% $1,300… kdnc $390m 30%… ganfeng $910m 70%…
so maybe kiran discounted this by about 50%… on top of the 50% discount already included in the $6.5 price / kg lce… to reflect that it is a scoping study…
‘‘tis true ob… so if you are really bothered about the resource (there’s plenty more that hasn’t yet been drilled you know) and want to go on just the reserves… 40.7% : 40.7% : 18.6%… so… from the recent bcn / ganfeng transaction… based on the 4.5mt drilled out reserves at sonora… of which ganfeng just bought bcn’s remaining 29% for ~£200m… i value kdnc’s 18.6% at…… £…… wait for it…… £128,376,530… ;) kiran must have allowed a premium to cover the increase in value that sonora would attract if we brought ganfeng in as the 70% jv partner… ;)
exactly ob… 41.6% : 41.6% : 16.8%… so… from the recent bcn / ganfeng transaction… based on the 8.8mt drilled out resource at sonora… of which ganfeng just bought bcn’s 29.6% for ~£200m… i value kdnc’s 16.76% at…… £…… wait for it…… £113,847,132… ;) kiran must have allowed a premium to cover the increase in value that sonora would attract with ganfeng as the 70% jv partner… :)
