RE:flor jv....the analyst from TD told BB that a JV for Flo should be off the table, with high/higher copper, cash on hand, Gib earnings...why JV such a fantastic asset??
in normal/usual times mabey those numbers make sense, but to lose 8.5 M lbs per year for 21 years that is about 25M$US ebita/yr at about 4$ copper....for $100M CDN now. (or 4 months of Gib ebita)
So in 3 yrs the jv partner will be fully recovered their investment and 18 years of gravy....if we absolutely needed to sure, but absolutely no need. You could hear that the TD analyst was disappointed with BBs answer!! This is not a low tolerance for risk, just no sense of value.
