“Strawman” calculation of ore body at Nabanga and what MET should be worth, for comment.
Data from the MET Feb 6 announcement for the Nabanga Main Lode Length (L) m, Width(W) m, Grade (G) g/tonne North Zone:700,125,3.8/2,5.61 Central Zone: 500,125,4.4/2,7.23 South Zone: 1100,125, 4.4/2,6.63
Assumptions Depth (H) m in Central and South Zones same as for North Zone125 m. Assuming drill holes are all at 60 deg to the horizontal, widths (W) are half (ie cosine (60 deg)) of the down hole intersections. Continuity of ore body is assumed. Density(D) tonne/cubic m =2.65 C=0.035723 Oz per gm (Imperial.)
Using: Ore = L*H*W*G*D*C Oz we get North Zone 87179 Oz Central Zone 92924 Oz South Zone 187468 Oz Total for the Nabanga Main Lode 367571 Oz
Possible additions to the Nabanga ore body from, 1400 m of strike between N,C and S Zones, Nabanga North Lode 800 m. and Strike extensions beyond current 3.6 km strike length.
To put this into some sort of (very rough) value perspective,
At POG= $1700 per Oz with production cost of $1200, we get a value of 500* 367571=$183.8 M. Since there are 171 M shares and options, this is $1.07 per share
Don’t forget the other MET BF sites and its prospects in Aust when assessing MET’s value.
I think I will hang in there and wait for the official resource figure. Also think POG will go higher after the current “correction.”
