At the risk of being overly simplistic, I think this can be best described as a two-scenario (binary) situation:

Scenario A) If the water issue does get fixed, then from FY18 onwards KRM ought to be able to produce 40koz pa at a US$800/oz AISC. At the current POG and SP, that gives a static IRR in the region of 40% pa.

Scenario B) If the water issue does not get fixed, this going to be worth zero (probably a bit harsh, but conservative).

The main question for me then is, what static IRR do I want from a one-mine gold producer operating in Indonesia? Factoring in country risk and looking at the IRRs of comparables operating in Australia, I’d say something like 15% pa (that is obviously a subjective assessment).

So, what probability of success (let’s call it P) is such that P * 40% + (1-P) * 0% >= 15%? The answer is P >= 37.5%.

What do I know about what P really is? Nothing, but I do know that Chairman John Morris recently added 380k$ worth of stock to his own account (where he already held 7.6m shares), and I also know that existing substantial shareholders recently took part in the cap raising for a total of 8.5m$.

Would all these guys want to increase their already significant exposure to this Company if they didn’t see a probability of success of at least 37.5%? People do make mistakes but, as I said, the situation is binary here and I believe the Chairman of the Company and its substantial shareholders have enough technical knowledge to decide whether this water issue is fixable (at a cost that makes economic sense) or not.

From all of the above, I conclude that the probability-weighted static IRR of KRM is currently higher (perhaps substantially higher) than 15%, on which basis I have bought in and am planning to keep averaging in at the current prices until further news.

All IMHO and GLTAH.

Your train of thought is decidedly logical. So the old adage applies. You pays your money and you take your chances. Good luck!
