As there are a few new posters to RCH, I thought I would wheel out the numbers as I calculate them based on real feasibility studies.
The following model assumes (as you would) that their high grade zone (very rare occurance) is mined first. This covers the first 7 years and will pay back all project debt.
I've used a long term Mo price of $US20lb rather than the current price of $US34lb.
This is basically looking at the project in year 2 (after 1 years full ramp up). It allows for a very generous capex of $US750M (more than enough) and debt repayment of $100M p.a. plus interest.
The cash suplus after debt servicing is $A393 Million p.a. for the project.
RCHs share is 71.25% of 50% (assumes 50% owned by a JV partner) or $A115M p.a.
Assuming RCH has to say raise another $10M on top of option conversions, the market cap fully diluted would be about $110M.
So with a 50% JV (typically would be with a Jap steel mill) RCH shareholders will earn a pre tax cash surplus of $115M on a market cap of $110M. Clear the upside for the share price is easily 10 - 15 times during the first few years while the debt is being retired
The current share price is simply dirt cheap. Should the Moly price not fall from $US34 to $US20 then the numbers would be very significantly higher.
How they fund the equity component will be the trick. A JV is the way they want to go and thats the smart option. Don't pretend you can get a project this big off the ground as a junior resource company.
Now this model is based on a published feasibility study completed by a international engineering consultancy for a Canadian project.
