RE:End Game - NumbersHi yakattack,
Good analysis!
Few things I would disagree wth you. One is CYP's cost, I believe 3K is just too low, remeber it is in the US, cost is much higher than other places, I say 4k to 5k would be realistic.
The 2nd is the buyer will not pay us $9 to $10, I would be happy if they pay half of that. CYP's management needs to pump up our share price, then we may get a higher number. The fate of the company is depending on the lagest share holders, not the management, if a byer appears. The buyer pically pays 30% to 50% premier.
Did you see ML, which was sold for 20% premier, it's so shameful with ML's management, at the beginning of lithium bull market!
Became a CYP's investor recently, I see the value here.

At 13K, with 31K tonnes of hydroxide at an OPEX of 3K.... we're looking at an IRR of about 78% after 8% discount....... for a NPV of 2.2 Billion USD
For someone to buyout completely (yes, total ownership) at a value of 40-50% of the project (EV/NPV) is more than reasonable for such a project - and that's if the reserves in the mine plan stay as is - we all know it can be scaled easier with chloride.
That puts us around 7x from here in CAD terms... for 9.30-$10.20ish CAD.
Using the same valuations given to standard lithium would be well over 40 dollars......9-10 CAD is far more realistic..
To put it in perscpective.... if TSLA were to buy CYP outright for 50% of the project's value using numbers above.... it would only be about 0.15% of their market cap.... or nearly 1/7th of 1 percent...
It's waaaay overdue and far past the time for NDAs to hide behind the so called talks.... either put up or get out.
Management has a responsibility to get the share price as high as they can for shareholders - so these NDAs better not be a NDA for much longer.
AGM is approaching....
