RE:Now they are paying $117 million for 14% or 800 millThis is not the past decades. The price of copper is different now. This mine is now high tech and up to date, and you just have to work the numbers. What this does say is that Gibraltar, on a cash flow basis, is easily worth $800 million.
An additional $23 million added to the EBITDA annually is about .08 per share. The present PE is 10 so if that valuation continues, this would add 80 cents to the share price over time.
However, most of the other copper companies right now are sporting a PE above 20.
