How this may play out. Possible values.

How this may play out. Possible values.
Assumptions                          
Conversion price = 0.20                        
MWS Earnings = 60 million a year at current production and gold prices                  
                           
  Option 1 = Vote No to both deals and be diluted     Option 2 Sell Ezulwami and buy back as many notes as possible before they convert Option 3 =Accept AGA deal Hypothetical Buyouts  
                         
Assumptions and comments The 443.3 million NAV for MWS is from RBC's dec number. I took the current marked down FIU NAV for Ezulwini from the last report.  A likely better non distressed value then the 70m currently offered, but still conservative especially if we can actually get it producing profitably with a lower royalty rate, reduced interest after the dilution and new mine plan   Assume we can buy back 80m at 87.5/100 par.  We will realize a gain on this of 10m Not bad on the surface, but I reject this option because it leaves us with a money losing mine and no working capital. So the numbers arnt accurate as there will be dilution resulting not considered        
  We Still need working capital, but not much.                    
                           
  Option 1 Vote NO     Option 2 Sell EZ, buy notes Option 3  Sell MWS Current and Hypothetical New offers

            Option 4 = Accept both deals.          
RBC Global gold Average current P/E multiple from weekly gold tables when I did this     25c minus 10m loan from Gold One.  Which is around 4c.  So 21 c if we are lucky and there are no escrow charges or further deductions due to negative working capital as warned in the last report.

              No thank you!!!            
                           

Please excuse the formatting.  It was difficult fitting my excel file in this post and I had to squeeze it quite a bit.
