Corrected version
Pensana owns 81% of the Angola mine. This equates to a resource value of 792,000 tonnes of NdPr. Taking a long term price of just $45,000 per tonne (not the present $120,000 a tonne and likely future prices) and taking a resource in the ground price of 1.5% of $45,000 as it is based in Africa ($675 per tonne), the unbuilt mine asset value equates to $534.6M. This is approximately half the enterprise value credited to the company this evening. Of course the entire asset has to be mortgaged effectively to build the mine and all the assets to convert resources into actual reserves and then to produce NdPr oxide. The conversion from resources to reserves triples the value of the mine and Pensana stock as it will have a route to market for the oxide per tonne once in routine production. Eventually, once relevant news arrives the stock price could well double up from here. Tony
