Thought I would put together a bit of a comparison between this stock and another which has been posted quite a bit on this forum RMX (RED MOUNTAIN MINING LIMITED).
Let’s start with the market cap-
Mantle Mining - fully diluted MC minus cash is around $7m,
Red Mountain Mining – fully diluted (not including performance rights) around $8m
Now to the projects-
Red Mountain have two projects located in the Philippines
Lobo (SWB) 7.2g/t 45,000Oz Total
This is almost identical grade to Mantle’s
Norton Project t 7.4 g/t 108,000Oz Total
So Mantle has double the high grade gold.
Now RMX have just completed a scoping study on this deposit. A few points
- Capital cost of A$16.7 million so RMX will have to dilute massively to bring into production (Mantle estimated ~$1m for Norton, half already paid)
- Cost/Oz $769-1,050 (Norton was previously mined at $800/oz, thanks to poster potchip)
- RMX start production <1 year away? Mantle 6 months?
So on this first project Mantle beats RMX on every measure.
On to RMX second project Archangel (Kay Tanda)
2.0g/t 363,000 Au Oz 3.3g/t 595,000 Ag Oz
This is almost identical to Mantle’s Granite Castle/Coronation Project, except it has not been fully drilled.
2.91g/t 79,301 Au Oz 56.2g/t 1,530,803 Ag Oz
The conservative target is
2.5–3.5g/t 162,000–255,000 Ag Oz 55–70g/t 3,570,000–5,110,000 Ag Oz
On top of that Mantle has: -More Gold JORC at Charters Towers 125,000 Oz
And as part of the discussions of a deal with "domestic and offshore entities" are the coal assets -Mt Mulligan CBM Project -NPV @10% = $1.4 Billion 50/50% JV Exergen Project -Latrobe Valley Black and Brown Coal Project including 289Mt JORC
Comments welcome, I would prefer negative comments rather than just anonymous downthumbs.
