I live in the area and the ore at rasp mine found to be high grade, that has been mined while declining has allready paid for the broken hill operation. Been in contact with many Broken Hill miners and i can assure that .65 cents is a bargin and strongly reccomend upto a $1.00 in value per share.
Take it from someone who is in the know
Why would anyone in their right mind decide to put a stop on at .65dosent appear too technical too me
When comparing CBH with Zinifex it looks like CBH is dragging the anchor a bit, but I'm sure that will change as the zinc price appreciates, porkpie
CBH up around 5% on extremely strong volume of 7.3 m to $0.63 as at 11:30 am, and nearing that strong resistance level at $0.65. Lauchlan, Kennas and UMike from a Fundamental view I did a few conservative figures on CBH for the full year 07 (i.e. start Jan – end of Dec) and have not yet completed the following years, this is a summary of what I came up with:
Assumptions:
•Total ore output of endeavor mine is around 1.05 million tonnes for 07 which is well below the full capacity of the mine (1.2-1.3m tonnes p.a.). Out of this is approx 6.6% Zn, 3.5% Ld, with recovery levels of around 85%, 81% respectively. In additional to their main base metals production the mine produces around 15,500kg of silver & 1,000t of copper.
•Using average prices received for 07 of:
Zinc – US$1.60/lb
Lead – US$0.80/lb
Silver – US$12/oz
Copper – US$3/lb
•Used around a 20% profit margin to take into a/c all the exploration and development activity the company is currently undertaking at Sulphur Springs, Broken Hill and the Cobar district.
•Company has approx 780m shares on offer.
Risks:
•This company like most does not come with out its risks however problems have plagued the Endeavor mine in the past, cave in of part of the mine occurred at the end of 05, where production was stopped for a prolonged period of time.
•Management are unreliable, announcements come out months after there due and production levels seem to always fall short of there expectations.
Result:
Given the company continues to trade on a PE multiple of 10 the company should generate EPS of around $0.09 which equates to a market cap = 702m i.e. a 42% premium to what they are trading on in intraday this morning (Aspect Huntly has forecasted EPS for 07 and 08 of $0.06 and $0.11). The company has some potential upside with two new mines to come online over the next 2 years which will see a three fold increase in copper and a significant rise in zinc and lead production.

Why is it undervalued? Can you please share your analysis Chicken? What would you value it at?bought into CBH......at 60c today....see Minebox Kangaroo Sipas results...this must be a ver undervaled mineral play.....comments

CBH...
Margin lending ratio is 50%.
The value of CBH depends on your belief of future ZN prices. If you believe that ZN will be above $1 for the next few years then CBH is great value with a value of $500m and $250m cash, a pe of around 4 and significant growth prospects.
However if ZN declines significantly with the new supply entering the market from late 07 then CBH is looking far less profitable and their new mines marginal.
Many of the analysts believe ZN will fall over the next few years hence CBH and other ZN companies are on low multiples.
However with the major resource companies undergoing a sector revaluation at the moment ( BHP up 50% in a few months etc) this will flow down to the second tier companies shortly.
I've held CBH for awhile now and remain optimistic
