Omai Gold Mines in Short
My Case For Omai Gold Mines
The case is very simple in my pinion. The company is trading at a valuation on par with some grassroot explorers even though the company owns an asset that used to be a top tier mine with potentially a couple of millions of ounces left behind (More on this later). If that wasn’t enough there is significant and probable exploration potential all over the project. I do think this project has a good chance of becoming a mine again and I think Silvercorp Metals and Sandstorm Gold Royalties feel the same as they own 15.1% and 9.9% of the company respectively. The only negative factor that I see is that it is in Guyana which is not a tier #1 jurisdiction. With that said I think Omai is way too cheap and that there is a relatively good chance to get at least a 5+ bagger within 24 months. A 5X would have the company valued at US$138 M which I certainly don’t think is a stretch if the company is successful in showing multi million ounce potential (which I see as likely in that timeframe). I get that Guyana should have a discount but this is simply irrationally cheap for an asset of this quality in my opinion…
Lastly I would say that Sandstorm Gold Royalties is in the business of owning ROYALTIES on MINES. A stake by said company basically says, again, that they think it has a decent shot at becoming a mine simply due to the quality of the project. With an Enterprise Value of ~US$23 M one readily can see that nothing of the sort is priced in. So as I see it either Sandstorm Gold (and Silvercorp) are incompetent or Omai Gold Mines is a steal at these prices.
In Short:
- Substantial “inferred” resource
- Great brownfield potential and greenfield potential
- Backed by Silvercorp Metals and Sandstorm Gold Royalties
- It was a previous mine
- Ground already disturbed
- Worked at a much lower gold price
- Obvious that one can have a mine there
- Enterprise Value of US$19.9 M (cheap)
