How is the market valuing ounces in the ground? I took most of the companies from Dara's most recent Finding Barrick's list, and ran some numbers. Likely there
are some mistakes and outdated #'s as this has been done cursorily, and I am not very familiar with most of these cos. I left off anything more complex than
Au +/- Ag +/- Cu resources. I think the numbers are all in Canuckian $'s. Pure Au resource values per ounce are figured after estimated cash balance was
subtracted out. Au values in Au +/- Cu +/- Ag resources were figured by subtracting out estimated cash balance and in-situ value of Cu (0.40/pound) and Ag ($2/oz)
and in a second case without subtracting out the Ag and/or Cu value (No value assigned to Ag or Cu).
Some of the results appear to be out of whack, for instance the very high values given to Osisko and Miniere du Nord. Etruscan is high but they are also producing.
I would guess that there are more ounces indicated then I have found in the websites. Some of these look unusually low, like Mundoro and Kimber. Others appear
to assign little value to the Ag or Cu, such as Metallica, Metallic Ventures and Gold Reserve. If I haven't made significant mistakes in these, and barring
company specific negative circumstances, they might represent value? Others will know much more about these cases than I do.
I can't seem to format the column titles. So: Col. 3 = recent share price, Col. 4 = Cash, Col. 5 = shares, fully diluted, Col. 6 = Au ozs., Col. 7 = Silver ozs. (millions), Col. 8 = Cu pounds (millions), Col. 9 = Market valuation per ounce of Au with with Ag and or Cu values backed out if applicable, Col. 10 = Market value per ounce of Au with Silver and Cu values not backed out (no value assigned).
