Share Value per Attributable Resource:
The Atlanta property has a substantial existing NI 43-101 resources comprised of an Indicated
resource of 0.466 million and an Inferred resource of 0.290 million AuEq ounces. For valuation
purposes, we are taking 10% of in situ value equivalent for indicated and 5% for Inferred
resources. Typically, the industry standard for “in situ” value for gold is in the $50 to $150 per
ounce range, given that there are many challenges in converting the rock into payable metal.
Based on the grade and the shallow depth of these resources, we have assumed an “in situ”
value of $130 per ounce of gold for the Indicated resource and $65 per ounce for the Inferred
resource.
Applying this valuation to the resources available on the property, our calculation shows that the
Atlanta property will provide a value of
.62 per share to investors. The details of these
calculations are given below:
Peer Group comparison
In this method of valuation, we evaluate the market capitalization and NI 43-101 compliant gold
and gold equivalent resources of companies that are similar to Atlanta Gold from the perspective
of (1) commodity type explored, (2) location of properties, (3) mineralization of properties, and (4)
degree of exploration / fieldwork completed. Having NI 43-101 resource estimate is an important
step forward for junior exploration companies.
We therefore compared the NI 43-101 resources of Atlanta Gold with that for Midway Gold Corp
(MDW:TSX-VEN), US Gold (USX:TSX-VEN), Fronteer Development (XCL:TSX-VEN), Klondex
Mines (KDX:TSX-VEN) and Romarco Minerals (R-TSX-VEN). Some of these companies have
advanced stage exploration gold properties located in the U.S.We find that Atlanta Gold, in spite
of having sizable NI 43-101 compliant resources, is currently trading at a substantial discount to
all the companies in the peer group.
We calculate the ratio of market capitalization to gold equivalent ounces for all the above
companies in the Atlanta average market capitalization/ gold equivalent ounces for Gold peer
group. We calculate the same ratio for Atlanta Gold as well. We then find the market cap in
relation to total NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for all companies in the peer group
including Atlanta Gold, which gives us $149.14 as the average market cap per ounce of NI 43-
101 compliant gold resource. We multiply the average market cap/Au (oz) by the NI-43-101
compliant resources for ATG, which is 0.76 million Au (oz) and divide this by the fully diluted
number of shares of ATG, which is 190.8 million. We thus arrive at the value of
.57 per share
based on the Peer Group Comparison Method.
Finally, taking an average of both the methodologies,
we believe the CURRENT FAIR VALUE of
ATG is
.61 per share (i.e., average of
.62 from Share Value of Attributable Resource and
.60 from Peer Comparison).
