I think we’ll be just fine. As posted yesterday:
There will be plenty of profit according to the company stockbrokers:
"Therefore, as a point of reference, we note two potential value points that we believe the market may consider when deciding how much value to recognise should the 2Tcf be confirmed:
1) Extending the plateau of 140mmscf/s for 20 years, would result in an increased average annual FCF of c$25mm/year, and an approximated asset value of £175mm (~4x the current market cap), using a simplified 12% discount on FCF in perpetuity model. We note that in this case only 1Tcf of resources will be utilised in the 20-year period.
2) Theoretically, increasing the plateau to 250mmscf/s for 20 years would effectively exploit almost all of the 2Tcf of gas in this 20-year period. This hypothetical case, in our estimate, would generate an average annual FCF of about $40mm, representing an approximated asset value of ~£275mm net to AEX (~6x the current market cap)"
So, Free Cash Flow for Aminex of somewhere between $25m and $40m if the 3D seismic results were 2tcf. Obviously, they were very much higher than that.
