Many Premier project metrics eerily similar to our neighbor Bruce Jack. In short time, we'll either exceed, match or fail to reach BruceJack metrics.
You guys already know, so simple reminder that
Pretivm Resources, was the previous owner and operator of the BruceJack mine. In March 2022, Newcrest completed the acquisition of Pretium Resources, under a C$3.5bn ($2.8bn) deal signed in November 2021.
For comparison:
AOT M/C valuation at C$3.5 Billion is ~C$6.30
AOT M/C valuation at C$4.0 Billion is ~C$7.20
Brucejack was producing aprox. 360 000 ounce of gold at over 10 grams per tonne.
AOT will be producing aprox. 120 000 in the first year and aprox. 180 000 in the second year at 7 grams per tonne with aprox. 10% going to the Gold stream payments.
Achieving Pretiums sale price of $3.5 Billion seems a bit optimistic at least in the next few years.
At the same time when AOT gets up to 180 000 ounce production hopefully next year a market cap. of aprox. $ 1.5 to $1.8 billion does not seem unresonable. Considering that a few days a go AOTs market cap. was aprox. $325 million and is now around $ around $430 million that still could equal a 4 to 6 bagger for those with some patience.
AOT is now at the sweet spot. Construction is nearly complete and they have just done a $90 million financing to get the project up and running until cashflow starts rolling in. Even with the relatively low production expected this year they should have aprox. $100 million US in Free Cashflow this year and except for the gold stream they do not have much if any debt.
Its been a long wait for many but good news should soon start coming in and 2024 should be a very good year for AOT and its shareholders. Today was a very good day and there should be a few more days like this this year.
With the large shareprice increase today i wonder if there may be a takeover offer in the air. Would be a nice asset for a larger miner to take over with large and relatively rich gold reserves with likely a lot more to be found with more exploration and construction nearly complete and a lof of profits soon rolling in. A lot easier and less time consuming than trying to build a mine from scratch. They can have all my AOT shares for $2.50 per share anytime they want.
Good luck to all
