RE: RE: A 0.25 ratio should be fairWell...
As of today's assets, SST will have 3.5 million ozs of production in the medium term (see any SST presentation).
Assuming Silver averages $14 medium term (say up to 2012-2013), operating CF in 2013 would be around $35M.
New SLW (let's call it NSLW) will have 2013E production of some 33M ozs and, with same silver price assumptions, $330M of operating CF.
NSLW operating CF per share (311M shares post deal) would be around 1.06 $/share.
SST alone (123M shares), without being sold to SLW, would stand at 0.285 $/share (US$).
So, in order for SST shareholders to maintain future CF per share, a fair ratio should be 0.285/1.06 ~ 0.27 (sorry, not 0.25 as I stated in the subject).
I didn't take into account dilutive effects from options/warrants.
