Taking a look at DRD .. anyone not interested in SA or a buy the
physical type please scroll on by .. this is not for you .. I just
did a more comprehensive estimation of DRD earnings for myself ..
Here it is .. if you're interested .. for more detail on the 4th
quarter results .. go to the DRD site ..

Assumptions
avg Rand exchance rate 4th quarter 6.16
DRD capacity 1.25 mill oz/ year .. 310,000 oz in 4Q
103 mill shares outstanding ..

from 4th quarter results .. revenue = 282$/oz
loss was 35 mill rand with a once off
restructuring cost ot 39.6 mill rand

thus without restructuring they made a profit of 4.5 mill rand
or $730,000 on a 4th quarter on production of 310,000 oz .. call it
$2.50 per oz .. thus DRD costs are 282 - 2.5 = 279.5 $/oz at 6.16
rand to the $ ..

lets take a look at them right now
gold is 298
the rand is 6.28

first DRD cost are no longer 279.5 .. they become 279.5 * 6.16/6.28
or 274 .. and their profit per oz becomes 298 - 274 = 24 $/oz
rather than 2.5. ( this assumes that their restructuring enabled
them to realize the gold market value rather than the hedge value ) .
their annual profit becomes 24 * 1.24/103 = $0.29 so on a pe of
10 they should be priced at $2.9 instead of $1.62.

look at 3 sensitivities .. 325 and 350 and 400

at 325 .. profit per oz becomes 325 - 274 - 51 $/oz * 1.24/103 = $0.61
share .. at a 10 pe we get 6.1

at 350 .. we get 350 -274 = 76*1.24/103 = $0.91 or 9 $/share ..

at 400 .. we get 400 - 274 = 126 .... then 126 * 1.24/103 = $1.52/share
and we have a $15 stock ..

so if you BUY THE PHYSICAL ..you get a move of 400/295 = 35 % ..
and if you buy drooy you get a 10 bagger .. but dont tell these
guys ..
let me know if you find booboos ..
next Ill try to do the same thing for Harmony with Randfonts in
it ..
