I arrive at minimum $4.6134 price per share for nickel alone.
These are my calculations to estimate noront's minimum SP. Please correct if this is off.
take 15 million tons
multiply by 2000 to find pounds
= $30, 000, 000, 000 (30 bil)
times average 2% nickel.
x.02 = $600,000,000
multiply by 7.52/per pound nickel (kitko) (this is twice Voiseys price).
= $ 4,512,000,000
some Mining books advise to take 1/2 for production, so divide by 2
=$2,256,000,000
one of you suggested that producers want 3 times assured profit, so divide by 3
= $752,000,000
then divide by Noront outstanding shares, so divide by 163,000,000
= $4.6134 price per share for nickel alone
this is before any other ore, PGE, chromite, etc...
2.00 per share, yes, I'm buying. Even if you assumed Noront had 13 mil tons that comes to $3.9983 per share.
