CUU own 25% Schaft Creek: proven/probable min. reserves/940.8m tonnes = 0.27% copper, 0.19 g/t gold, 0.018% moly and 1.72 g/t silver containing: 5.6b lbs copper, 5.8m ounces gold, 363.5m lbs moly and 51.7m ounces silver; (Recoverable CuEq 0.46%)
I'd like a $10/share buyout too, but that means a discounted NPV of $16 billion (400 million shares x $10 / 25%). I'm just not seeing this type of massive increase in the NPV without hitting very good grades at shallow depth in a few or all of the targets. Plus we'd be talking at least 200,000 TPD processing or much more to get the fast payback needed to avoid all the losses assumed in an 8% discount.
Doesn't seem plausible to have this type of massive NPV increase over the previous NPV. Where are all the savings going to come from when CAPEX and OPEX are only going to be inching up in the years to come?
