1.5 million tonnes of iron ore per annum (in two years time).
Worst spot price in recent history = $86.
Worst possible cost of production and transport $70.
Vijay get 50% (ish) of profits.
$86
- $70
= $16 profit per tonne.
1.5 million tonnes produced (?).
x $16
= $15 million profit.
If I do the same calcs with a more realistic long term spot price of (say) $95 / tonne. Profit = $35.5 million.
Probably shouldn't publish my back of envelope calculations as I am not know for my mathematical ability.
35.5 million dollars divided by 352 million shares = about 10c / share. Is that right?
So a Price to earnings of 10 would place that at around $1 / share?
I'm just tossing this up for discussion. Don't make me get my flame retardant suit.
