Just happened to be looking at some of the estimates from the BAB scoping study and the GRY feasibility study, and was struck by some of the similarities.
shares on issue BAB 310m GRY 350m
Resources BAB 3.2 million ounces (2.1 Indicated) GRY 2.0 million ounces, all inferred.
Processing targets BAB 7.5 mtpa for 230,000 ounces per annum GRY 3.5 mtpa for 200,000 ounces per annum
share price BAB 25 cents ?? GRY $1.20
Location BAB Coolgardie GRY Burkina Faso
cash in bank BAB $20 million GRY $80 million
Estimated cost to production BAB $350 million GRY (could not find an estimate for this)
Average grade BAB 1.25 g/t GRY 2.50 g/t
Comments:
GRY is a market darling supported by some important and prestigious institutions, is doing very well, and rightly so.
Promoting BAB in a professional way, to these institutions (when BAB lists), will be an important task.
Finding the right MD and CEO to undertake these tasks for BAB will be critical.
Finding supportive financial institutions will be critical to BAB.
The BAB team, when they are formed, could learn a lot from GRY, and might consider using the GRY model as a template.
When BAB lists, a 25 cent share, has the potential to appreciate by more than 500% within 2 years, to approximately equal the current GRY value (bearing in mind that GRY has recently come down from $2).
It is now all up to the board and management of BAB (coming to a screen near you in March/April 2012).
