Australian (ASX) Stock Market Forum

AAM - A1 Minerals

Note to above post. They have some credibility issues, by not meeting previous timelines to vercome before the market will price this fully in, imo.
 
I understand you are being conservative, but...

2,000 oz isn't best case -> rumours around the block are that they can do more than 2,500 oz (unsubstantiated, but, nonetheless, lets give them 2,500 oz, like they have said)...

2500 * 800 (current gross profit) * 12 = $24M

However, I'm assuming other expenses will need to be made from that $24m (I doubt corporate overheads are included, for example)... let alone the millions of dollars spent exploring.

I have absolutely no barking idea, but, perhaps, say, $6m exploring and $6m on corporate overheads ?
=$12m profit.
at a P/E of 8 (still risky), this is $96M market cap, or circa $0.50c.

However, any appropriate sensitivity analysis on this must be particularly wide.
POG in $AUD could range from $1000-$2,000.
Cash costs could easily be $700.
Exploration costs could be $12M
Plant could be upgraded in 3 months.
Things may not go well.
Could do 33,000 oz/year instead of 30k oz.
Market could think P/E of anywhere from, say, 6 - 25 is appropriate,

etc, etc, etc.

This is a VERY hard stock to confidently value.
 
ricee

agree lots of unknowns

fact is if, if, if they now are producing at what they say they can its a multi bagger of 2-2.5 times current sp. possibly a lot more.

need some numbers to regain credibility. not that they lied, they just failed to meet about 6 targets in a row for the last 9 months.

46kg of poured gold suggests they now have it operating fairly well.

Still require cash costs condog, and then add in exploration costs.

What are the cash costs that they have announced?

Thats why ive been very conservative.

Could have gone with 2500 and 800+ as quoted, but allowing 600 and using 1500-2000 allows a conservative estimate.
 
Not a bad day...

Got a mention in the Eureka report last night, up 15% today on the highest volume in 6 months :D

Really looking forward to the June quarterly :beat:
 
Was scratching my head about this today! couldnt find any news as to why, glad that finally somethings happening! thanks for the insight as to why.. not a member of the eureka report..
 
I know one company that had a great wrap on Eureka at approx $4.00 several years ago and its now 4cents....."EUEEEEEKa"!

Don't believe everything you read :)
 
Careful!! Note the 300oz per week translates to 15koz pa which is half their forecast 30koz! Yes this is because the feed in grade has been diluted due to moisture issues, but if this can't be rectified then woops, I reckon cashflow might just be squeeezed a little tight.

Let's see - 300oz x ($1400-$700) = $210k a week. Nah, maybe that's enough to cover costs OK?

Anyway, would hope to see that grade fixed asap if I was in still;)
 
Forgot i had an order in for them today :( while at the gym it was filled...

Obviously wasn't enough:eek: If it were me, I'd be thinking twice, maybe thrice, about whether to cough up more with their past track record:confused:

condogs previous valuation for this company was:

announcment out today

if they actually achieve it this has huge potential

current mcap = 40M

targeted output = 2500 oz pmth at cost of $600 aud per oz

current gold price approx 1400 aud per oz

at net $600 per oz and say 1500 oz per mth = $10.8M net profit p.a

PE 10 = $100M

sp target for me 50c witning 6 months,

"if " all goes ok

best case say 2000 oz mth at 800net = 19.2M p.a PE 10 = 192 m

sp target $1.05

DTOR may contain erros, seek expert advice. I been wrong so dont rely on this.
So, going to 50c in 6 mnths and then $1.05.

Massive support between the 18-25c mark, under that looks dodgy. Really needs to bounce here or looks terrible. 15c next support possibly?

Hi Musicman74,

People who make most out of shares are directors, insiders, brokers and tipsters. I didn't see David Hazelhurst's report and did he give reasons for his analysis? I guess you won't find him listing AAM amongst his great picks.

I've been silent, nothing to add to my previous comments.
Read AAM's reports carefully.

eg compare their Table of Mineral Resources Estimates updated 30th June 2010 with the earlier ones! Note the recent one is in grams :) and the total is down from 1.7 mill ozs to 41,311,490 gms...... looks better in grams ;)
I think that's about 1.33 mill ozs.

They've swapped 2 leases for CASH!!
They want more CASH.
My back of the envelope calculations indicated that was the issue.
Will they get CASH?

Absolutely right.
