5.0 State One Indicative Forecasts & Valuation
We have valued the combined project of the mine and concentrator at Ravensthorpe and the lithium carbonate plant in China on a post tax basis. Our Base Case involves the expected level of gearing and discounts future cash flows on a corporate basis before the payment of dividends. The assumptions used in the Base Case are summarised below and result in a solid NPV valuation of A$344 M or A$ 1.79 cps, which is indicative of a robust project. Similarly, after applying future earnings multiples of 12X to earnings and 9X to cash generation, the numbers support a share price of at least A$1.50 in 2010.
However, we believe investors will continue to impute a significant premium for a integrated lithium producer for at least the next two years. Our 12 months price target is A$2.50. We expect that the value of GXY will increase over the medium to long-term, as success with the currently envisaged project paves the way for expansion into other lithium-based opportunities.
The Bolivians couldn't organise such a project which is what they intend to do, so I don't think it will ever get to market. Only a change in government and a right of centre thinker who invites the Chinese in will it possibly work. Probably some issues with extracting the lithium in the region due the environment too. Galaxy got a mention in the Fin today. Being put in some sort of fund centred on alternate energy or something.Yes Kenas I did see that on ABC. It is a bit of a concern for me as I am a Galaxy holder.Lets wait and see...... as you said it may not ever happen.
Q Do we like this company model ?
I do own a few; reckon they sold too cheap, but the Market still seems to like them.Anyone else holding this?
Came out of a suspension today from a CR. Raised $120m @ $1.10 Institutional placement.

This morning's gap-down looked definitely overdone - as is the case most of the time a low-ball raising to "sophisticats" is announced. By the time the initial panic was over, I was back to square.
my target is still the January High; say $1.75 by mid-June.
