RE:RE:Trevali RP2Streaming deals are great for the streaming companies, not so much for the producers. TV has guided 1,025,000 oz for this year. Based on your current price of $23.60/oz, and assuming that price and Ag production were constant, that would be giving up $24.2 million per year for the foreseeable future. This is a vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvery high price to pay to finance $115 million in capital expansion.
Also, don't forget, that the $24 million is an offset to their cash costs and all-in sustainging cash costs. Without that silver credit, their per pound cash cost and AISC will go way up, which doesn't look good at all. While possible, I wouldn't expect to see a silver streaming deal.
TV is generating cash now from current operations and their RP2.0 was based on $1.17/lb of Zn. So I think it's pretty safe to say that the bank syndicate or Glencore could easily provide some more debt while cash from operations continue to be generated. The bank would most certainly want more production to be hedged at current prices of $1.34/lb, but that locks in a very good price and it's a fair bit higher than the $1.17/lb on which RP2.0 is based.
Whoever is thinking this will have to be financed solely through the issuance of more shares, causing massive dilution, clearly doesn't know the company's operations or financial capability. Whoever is out there saying a silver stream is the way tthis will be financed doesn't know the high cost of doing such streaming deals. Streaming deals are done where the metal stream is relatively minor, and I wouldn't consider TV's silver production to be minor if it's generating $24M per year. Lastly, whoever is out there calling for a reverse split, as the only way to finance RP2.0 and increase the stock price, clearly doesn't understand that a reverse split does nothing to increase the value of the company.
