Key technical appointments including Telfer experience and knowledge
In August, GGP appointed Otto Richter as a Group Mining Engineer. Mr
Richter is a renowned underground mining and caving expert with extensive
block caving experience at De Beers and in various consulting roles. He also has
in-depth understanding of Newcrest’s Telfer mine, where he previously worked
as a Mine Planning Manager. This is particularly important for GGP as
Havieron’s production will replace the depleting Telfer orebody as the source of
the ore feed to the 20 Mtpa Telfer mill. In addition, on the 25th of August, Paul
Hallam was appointed to the GGP board as a Non-Executive Director, replacing
the Company founder Callum Baxter. Paul Hallam is a high-calibre mining
professional with operational experience at Tier 1 companies, including
Fortescue Metals and Newcrest Mining, where he worked as Executive General
Manager of Developments & Projects. Both the above changes illustrate to us
the next stage in GGP’s evolution from explorer to developer, with top tier
appointments signalling the Company’s focus on development of tier 1 mining
assets.
Target price – GBp28.3 per share valuation implying 61% upside
Since our last Greatland Gold valuation update on the 26th of February, we
leave our Havieron DCF model unchanged apart from updating our commodity
price assumptions, decreasing our modelled gold price from a flat US$1,950/oz
to US$1,850/oz and increasing our flat copper price input to US$8,500/t up
from US$7,500/t. Our updated risked valuation for GGP shares based on our
DCF model for the Havieron sulphides project is now US$1,352m or
GBp28.3/sh, slightly below our previous valuation of GBp30.1/sh.
