Updated. Our options in numbers. Posted first one

                 
Assumptions                
Conversion price = 0.20              
MWS Earnings = 60 million a year at current production and gold prices      
                 
  Option 1 = Vote No to both deals and be diluted   Option 2 Sell Ezulwami and buy back as many notes as possible before they convert Option 3 =Accept AGA deal
               
Assumptions and comments The 443.3 million NAV for MWS is from RBC's dec number. I took the current maked down FIU NAV for Ezulwini from the last report.  A likely better non distressed value then the 70m currently offerred, but still conservative especially if we can actually get it producing profitably with a lower royalty rate, reduced interest after the dilution and new mine plan Assume we can buy back 80m at 87.5/100 par.  We will realize a gain on this of 10m Not bad on the surface, but I reject this option because it leaves us with a money losing mine and no working capital. So the numbers arnt accurate as there will be dilution resulting not considered
  We Still need working capital, but not much.          
                 
  Option 1 Vote NO   Option 2 Sell EZ, buy notes Option 3  Sell MWS
    MWS 10x P/E 8x P/E   MWS 10x P/E 8x P/E    
                 
  Using RBC NAV Using 10x P/E Using 8x P/E Using RBC NAV Using 10x P/E Using 8x P/E    
Ezulwini $100 $100.00 $100.00 0 0 0 100  
MWS $443.30 $600.00 $480.00 443.9 600 480 0  
Total $543.30 $700.00 $580.00 443.9 600 480 100  
                 
NAV- Debt= Enterprise value  $375.60 $532.30 $412.30 276.2 432.3 312.3 100

Total Shares in each option 987.90 987.5 987.5 587.9 587.9 587.9 237.90  
                 
          Option 4 = Accept both deals.  
RBC Global gold Average current P/E multiple from lates weekly gold tables   25c minus 10m loan from Gold One.  Which is around 4c.  So 21 c if we are lucky and there are no escrow charges.  
  2011 2012 2013    
Tier 2 19.8 13.4 9.7    
Tier 3 24.6 10.5 5.9    
            No thank you!!!    

As you can see, the correct course of action is to vote no, unless they will buy back some of the notes first and cancel them.  Otherwise we vote no to both deals.

I'm going to email Dion and present my option.  Hope he listens.  Otherwise we should get the shareholders list and put out our own communicaitons list presenting our opposition to the deal.  With 25% plus shares unable to vote.  AGA, Village, Franco Nevada, we have a good chance to stop this.  We should also see how many shares we have just here.  I'll post on that in a little seperatly.

A lot to take in CM. I appreciate all your hard work.  BTW MWS produces 25,000 ounces per quarter at a cash cost of $613/oz. This is at least 25m/qtr profit. Personally i will be voting no on both deals. It's totally unacceptable to be on the verge of profit and jetisoning the shareholders. I've got a better idea, we ditch the management.
