Lucara Diamond Corp > Turn around

Turn around

It’s always difficult to go against a downward trend, but I’m sticking my neck out here.

With the light of recent news, where William has personally invested in stocks and the recently published feasibility study, Lucara not only appears as a strong investment case but as a golden opportunity. William’s decision to buy shares at this stage shows deep confidence in the company’s future and is a sign for investors.

Now that he has resolved the financing challenges, the technical difficulties with water ingress, and the optimization of the sales channels for their high-quality diamonds, Lucara has taken a giant leap forward.

The feasibility study, which reveals an impressive cash flow of 1.1 billion dollars from the mine, is the foundation that supports this progress.

Using a discounted cash flow analysis (DCF) with a conservative discount rate of 10% over fifteen years, the picture of a company with a present value of approximately 602.75 million dollars emerges. This is a conservative estimate that doesn’t even take into account the potential growth in cash flow or the ‘specials’ that have not been included in the calculation, indicating even greater potential.

With a current market value of around 1.2 billion and a calculation pointing towards a value closer to 6 billion, it’s clear that Lucara offers a risk-adjusted upside of at least five times the investment for the patient.

I am convinced that this is a turn-around case and it will be exciting to see when the market understands this. It is a unique chance to invest in a company that is now positioned to deliver exceptional value to its shareholders.

Just to clarify, the numbers in the later part of the text is in Swedish currency. Does not change the outcome.

Other upsides in the equation may be:- The question of Clara's trajectory and whether or not it will spin out and/or if it gets to sell any Okavango goods. The question of whether or not govt is still musing a buy-in to Lucara. The outcome of any exploration done by Lucara when it resumes in the future. The possibility of any undiscovered deposits (either primary or eluvial) within the ...more

Regarding eluvial deposits, it should be remembered that the top 100m of AK6 has been eroded over the last 90 million years. Where have all those south lobe whoppers gone?  There may well be a depression(s) somewhere under the present-day sand cover (about 30m) that contains a bonanza.

What is this eluvial deposit you speak of?
Comment by nyoni on Mar 27, 2024 1:27pm
AK6 kimberlite is an extinct volcano. The cone is thought to have been as much as 100m above the ground level at the time it erupted. That was 90 million years ago. Since then the cone has been weathered to ground level along with any diamonds it contained (eluvials).  However the ground level that we see today is above the original ground level due to the Kalahari desert advancing from the ...more

By the way, Tsodilo are also searching for new, undiscovered, primary kimberlites as well as any alluvials from Karowe. The results of some of this kimberlite targetting work is given in the link I mentioned earlier. If you went to that link you may have noticed this remark about kimberlite targets: "Magnetic target PL217_01 which coincides with kimberlite AK10 outside PL217/2016, and ...more
