Will copper go to $5.50 by year end? NCU >>>
If we get $5.50 copper and we get confirmation of steady state production of 5,000 tons per day from underground then what?
$5.50 mius $1.86 AISC (all-in sustaining cost) = $3.64 per pound cash-flow
$3.64 X 60 million pounds (underground) per year = $218 million per year
Apply an 8 X multiple and get $1.74 billion,
Divide $1.74 billion by say 2 billion shares and get $0.87 USD per share
Converted to CAD = $1.08 per share
Add the value of the future 70,000 tpd open pit asset to the $1.08 per share using $5.50 copper and get 220 million pounds per year at $3.50 ($5.50 minus $2.00 AISC) X an 8 multiple = $6.16 billion
Take $6.16 billion and remove $2 billion (a big over estimate) for the cost to build the open pit and get $4.16 billion. Divide this amount by 2.3 billion shares and get $1.81 USD per share which equals $2.31 CAD per share.
Take the open pit value of $2.31 (at $5.50 copper) at divide it by 2 because no one wants to pay for it's value and get about $1.14 per share.
Add $1.08 per share plus the $1.14 per share = $2.22 per share.
So, if you were Pala and copper were to be $5.50 at the end of the year, you probably would not even want to talk to a buyer for less than $2.22 per share in that case
Cheers,

No it will not go to $5.50. Copper price will stay around current levels for a bit, but they are headed lower in the medium to long term. See you at $2.50 within 12 months

No one knows where prices are headed....and by no one I mean no one including you...tossing a coin and predicting where commodity prices are headed in most instances give you equal chances of being correct....
