RE: $10 coming soonTop up agreement between Agnico and Troy expires today
Dated July 13th 2008
Troy Resources NL (Troy) agrees to sell its 7,628,571 shares in Comaplex Minerals Corp. (Comaplex) to Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. for CAD6.15 per share, a 21% premium to the most recent market price. Troy has also entered a Top Up agreement with the Company where, if the Company moves to a majority interest in Comaplex within 18 months of this agreement, the Company will pay Troy the difference between their final purchase price per share and the transaction price of CAD6.15 per share.
If Agnico paid ~$245 per oz of gold in the ground at meadowbank (2.9 million oz resource at the time) when gold was changing hands for $650, what is a reasonable price to pay for Meliadine considering it is:
Higher grade
better situated
Even if you use the same $245/oz of gold in the ground, it works out to $17 per share of CMF. IF you adjust the price to $430 per oz of gold in the ground to reflect today's substantially higher gold price it works out to around $30 per share of CMF.
FWIW, research capital just raised their target price to $12
