PRICE PERSPECTIVE?
Is it fair to say the share price SHOULD be a function of annual gold ounces produced? I picked a few reputable companies and played with some 2019 numbers - and wanted to share with the board.
BARRICK produces about 5 Million ounces of gold per year and has a $40 Billion market cap (MC) - the multiplier is 8,000. Thus, 8,000 x the 5 Million ounces = the $40B MC.
NEWMONT produces about 6.4 Million ounce of gold per year and has a MC of $50 Billion - the multiplier is 7,813. Thus 7,813 x 6.4 Million ounces = the $50B MC.
KINROSS produces 2.5 Million ounces of gold per year with a 9.3B MC - the multiplier is 3,720.
ANGLO produces 3.3 Million ounces per year with a MC of $9.75B - the multiplier is 2,955.
MCEWEN MINING produces 175,000 per year with MC of $485 Million - the multiplier is 2,771.
The TREND ones sees is that the multipliers range from 2,771 to 8,000 - so just multiply your annual ounces by the multiplier to get your MC.
If we apply that logic to Novo and assume it will produce 100,000 ounces in 2021 with 260M shares outstanding (fully diluted), then Novo's share price could range from 1.07 to 3.08.
Of course, this is NOT considering the fact that Novo could have lower AISC (read the sorters work) or the fact that Novo is at the dawn of its existence with many years to come.
