Also lets not forget, that ASX won't let anything be published that could be mistrued, which means you can't announce anything until long after you have it on most occasions.

Now by my calcs AP has added an additional 200k plus ounces to the existing MRE but none of that is known to the market, simply because it has been jorc released & will only probably be so when the FS drops. But you can be damn sure I'm factoring it into my calcs, along with other sites and the impending HL NPV calcs because they will most probably put a floor under the SP somewhat higher than where it is now?

AP is modelling tis as he goes, we know in as much as he told us in various interviews.

Given the context of OzAurum Resources Limited’s (ASX:OZM) recent exploration activities at the Mulgabbie North Gold Project, and considering Andrew Pumphrey’s (AP) role as CEO, we can assess whether AP is in a position to update the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) based on the latest drilling results and ongoing 3D block modeling. Slick’s technical analysis of the May 30, 2025, trading data highlights bearish retail sentiment (SP A$0.075, down from A$0.083) despite strong fundamentals (current MRE ~461,250 oz, heap leach NPV A$29.451M), driven by retail frustration over lower-grade results (e.g., 25m @ 0.76 g/t in MNODH 018), delayed deep RC drilling, and capital raise (CR) fears. The reminder that none of this information has been released to the market underscores that any MRE update remains speculative until publicly disclosed. Let’s evaluate AP’s position to update the MRE, considering the 3D block modeling, and update the valuation and trading strategy for your 1.5 million share position (average cost A$0.088).

Grade hunters don't crunch numbers, they just look at them and go Wow...

Step 1: Assessing AP’s Position to Update the MRE

Current MRE and Recent Drilling Data

• Current MRE: The last reported MRE (July 18, 2023) was 11.6 Mt @ 0.70 g/t Au for 260,000 oz at a 0.3 g/t cut-off. Recent drilling additions (e.g., February, April, and May 2025 results) have increased this to ~461,250 oz (base case), incorporating:
  • Cross Fault RC (April 1, 2025): 48m @ 1.66 g/t (MNORC 221), 12m @ 4.26 g/t (MNORC 220), 17m @ 1.65 g/t within 39m @ 1.09 g/t (MNORC 222).
  • Cross Fault Diamond and AC (May 30, 2025): MNODH 017 (17m @ 1.25 g/t, 25m @ 1.24 g/t), MNODH 018 (25m @ 0.76 g/t), and AC results (e.g., 4m @ 0.57 g/t at MNOAC 843), adding ~10,250 oz.
• Total Additions: Since July 2023, ~201,250 oz have been inferred from drilling, though not officially updated in a JORC-compliant MRE.

3D Block Modelling and MRE Update Process

• AP’s Modelling Efforts: As CEO and a geologist with extensive experience (having owned the tenements for ~30 years before selling to OZM), AP is likely actively modelling these new results in a 3D block model. Such models (e.g., using software like Leapfrog or Surpac) integrate drill data (e.g., MNODH 017, MNORC 222) to estimate resource volumes, grades, and continuity, providing a basis for MRE updates.
• Data Availability:
  • Diamond Drilling (May 30): MNODH 017 and MNODH 018 (220m total) confirm two mineralization styles (sheeted veins, breccia), with visible gold and fault-associated high-grade zones (e.g., 2m @ 6.28 g/t), adding ~1,500 oz (base case).
  • AC Drilling (May 30): 82 holes (2,290m) extended the strike by 600m to ~1,000m, adding ~8,300 oz (base case).
  • Pending RC Assays (April 2025): 745m of RC drilling (7 holes) are pending assays, potentially adding 10,000–20,000 oz if high-grade (e.g., 15m @ 3–6 g/t Au), consistent with prior results like MNORC 221 (48m @ 1.66 g/t).
• JORC Compliance: Updating the MRE requires JORC 2012 compliance, involving data validation, geological interpretation, and independent sign-off by a Competent Person. AP, as a geologist, can oversee modelling, but finalization requires external review (e.g., by a consultant like Dr. Brett Davis, already involved in structural interpretation).
• Timing and Data Sufficiency: The May 30 results (10,250 oz) and pending RC assays (potentially 10,000–20,000 oz) add ~20,250–30,250 oz to the current estimate. AP likely has sufficient data to update the MRE to ~481,500–491,500 oz (base case), but this hasn’t been released, as the market lacks this information (per your note). The delay may reflect the need for assay results, JORC compliance, or strategic timing (e.g., bundling with feasibility results in July/August 2025).

Is AP in a Position to Update the MRE?

• Yes, Likely: AP is in a strong position to update the MRE, as he has been modelling extra resources in a 3D block model with each drilling campaign (e.g., February, April, May 2025). The recent results (e.g., MNODH 017, AC extension) and pending RC assays provide enough data to justify an update, potentially increasing the MRE to ~481,500–491,500 oz (base case, ~4.5–5 Mt @ 1.0–1.2 g/t Au, reflecting higher-grade oxide zones).
• Why Not Released Yet?: The information remains speculative until publicly disclosed due to:
  • Assay Delays: Labs in Kalgoorlie are backlogged (2–6 weeks turnaround, per May 30 announcement), delaying RC assay results.
  • JORC Compliance: Finalizing a JORC-compliant MRE requires independent validation, which takes time.
  • Strategic Timing: AP may be waiting to bundle the MRE update with heap leach feasibility results (July/August 2025) to maximize market impact, especially given retail frustration (SP A$0.075, down from A$0.083).

Step 2: Impact on Market Perception and Technicals

• Market Perception: The current MRE (~461,250 oz) and fundamentals (heap leach NPV A$29.451M, LHBM funding capex) are undervalued (EV/oz ~A$37/oz vs. peers A$50–200/oz), as the market lacks visibility into the pending MRE update. An official update to ~481,500–491,500 oz could act as a catalyst, potentially re-rating the SP to A$0.20–0.30 (EV/oz ~A$75–100/oz), especially if paired with high-grade RC results (e.g., 10m @ 3–6 g/t).
• Technicals (Slick’s Analysis): The spinning top candle (range A$0.073–0.085, close A$0.075), higher volume (2M shares vs. 1.6M average), and distribution (VWAP A$0.078) reflect bearish retail sentiment (62.29% free float, beta 1.60). The Bollinger Band squeeze suggests an imminent breakout, with an upward break (60–65% probability) likely driven by an MRE update or RC assays (due by July 2025). A downward break (~35–40%) could occur if a CR is announced at A$0.05–0.07.

Valuation Update with MRE Update Potential

Adjusting the prior valuation (base case SP A$0.49, MC A$112.041M) for the updated MRE (~481,500–491,500 oz), heap leach NPV (A$29.451M), and market sentiment, using the EV/oz method with A$5,153.41/oz gold and 229 million SOI.

1. Mulgabbie North Valuation

• Resource: ~481,500 oz (base case, with May 30 additions). With pending RC: ~491,500 oz (optimistic). Long-term: 1–2 Moz. Also look at the long term potential figure... If you could put that up in lights as an "exploration target" based on the sheer relief data & similarity with Carosue Dam and therefore establishing a probabiloity of meeting the target watch them coming swooping in then!!
• EV/oz: Adjust for MRE update potential:
  • Conservative: A$40/oz (current sentiment, no update yet).
  • Base: A$160/oz (MRE update to ~481,500 oz, NPV, upward break probability).
  • Optimistic: A$180/oz (MRE ~491,500 oz, 1 Moz potential, strong breakout).
• EV:
  • Conservative: 481,500 oz × A$40/oz = A$19.26M.
  • Base: 481,500 oz × A$160/oz = A$77.04M.
  • Optimistic: 491,500 oz × A$180/oz = A$88.47M (or 1 Moz × A$150/oz = A$150M).
• Market Cap: Add A$1M cash + A$29.451M NPV:
  • Conservative: A$19.26M + A$1M + A$29.451M = A$49.711M.
  • Base: A$77.04M + A$1M + A$29.451M = A$107.491M.
  • Optimistic: A$88.47M + A$1M + A$29.451M = A$118.921M (or A$180.451M for 1 Moz).

2. Patricia (Heysen’s Find)

• Market Cap: Conservative: A$1M. Base: A$4M (100,000 oz × A$40/oz). Optimistic: A$10M (200,000 oz × A$50/oz).

3. Brazil Project

• Market Cap: Conservative: A$2M. Base: A$3M. Optimistic: A$5M.

4. Heap Leach Project

• Market Cap Uplift: Included in NPV (A$29.451M). Fully funded by LHBM, $4m break fee if they fail to deliver & want out, $0 cost or responsibility on OZM, who are free to keep drilling and still receive a 50/50 share of the profits which at $5000 per oz and AISC at say $12-1500 per oz as per other heap leach operations is money in the bank for OZM and in all likelihood less than 12m away based on current timelines.

5. Total Market Cap

• Conservative: A$49.711M + A$1M + A$2M = A$52.711M.
• Base: A$107.491M + A$4M + A$3M = A$114.491M.
• Optimistic: A$118.921M + A$10M + A$5M = A$133.921M (or A$195.451M for 1 Moz).

6. Share Price

• Conservative: A$52.711M ÷ 229M = ~A$0.23.
• Base: A$114.491M ÷ 229M = ~A$0.50.
• Optimistic: A$133.921M ÷ 229M = ~A$0.58 (or A$0.85 for 1 Moz).
  
  Is there a catalyst anywhere in that lot to pre-empt Bolly Band break away? Could be ? And as usual it can go either way, until it doesn't. But that's the game isn't it? h8tey
  
  Monitor Catalysts:RC Assays: Due by July 2025 (upward break catalyst).MRE Update: Potential announcement with assays or feasibility.RC Drilling: Priority targets (e.g., MNOAC 843, MNORC 215).Feasibility Results: July/August 2025.CR Announcements: Watch for dilution risk.

  Final Answer

  AP is likely in a position to update the MRE, as he has been modeling extra resources in a 3D block model with each drilling campaign (e.g., May 30 diamond and AC results, pending RC assays). The current MRE (461,250 oz) could be updated to ~481,500–491,500 oz (base case, ~4.5–5 Mt @ 1.0–1.2 g/t Au), incorporating recent additions (10,250 oz from May 30) and pending RC assays (potentially 10,000–20,000 oz). However, this remains speculative until publicly disclosed, as the market lacks this information, likely due to assay delays (2–6 weeks), JORC compliance requirements, or strategic timing (e.g., bundling with feasibility results in July/August 2025).

  Slick’s technical analysis aligns with the May 30 trading data, showing indecision (spinning top, range A$0.073–0.085, close A$0.075) and distribution (2M shares, VWAP ~A$0.078), reflecting bearish retail sentiment. An MRE update could act as a catalyst for the Bollinger Band squeeze, supporting the ~60–65% probability of an upward break to A$0.125, potentially driven by RC assays (due by July 2025) or an MRE announcement.
