Read the room Mr Ferrar. Why do you think the shares have crashed while copper is high?

Pull out now, add 10p - 20p to the share price and recover your investor base - most are here for the divi yield, not a huge acquisition.

Don't be a stubborn inflexible boss. That'd make CAML uninvestable. Why not ask major shareholders if they want to keep upping the price for NWR? I'm very confident the answer is no.

The next date to watch for is 24/7/25 as per NWC's filing:

New World Resources
NWC said Kinterra Capital raised the offer price under its takeover offer to AU$0.066 per share, or AU$0.067 per share if Kinterra's stake in New World shares exceeds 30% by 5 PM on July 24, according to a Thursday Australian bourse filing.

Its takeover offer is also now unconditional.

The board of New World assessed Kinterra's updated offer and determined that it could reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal, compared to the AU$0.065 per share takeover offer from Central Asia Metals.

New World has issued a notice to Central Asia Metals under the matching rights regime in the Central Asia Metals' bid implementation deed, which gives it five business days to match the Kinterra takeover offer.

The board of New World continues to maintain its existing recommendation in favor of Central Asia until it has had an opportunity to match the Kinterra takeover offer.

As the saying goes a week is a long time in politics, 7 days in stock trading is an eternity. Given the share price has fallen more than 21p in the last 7 days ( 161p closing 9/7/25)to 140p today, there is ample time for the share price to reach its 12 month low of 134.4p Good luck . DYOR

RNS
CAML notes that, subsequent to the announcement in Australia of the increased CAML Offer price to A$0.065 per NWR share, Kinterra has increased its offer price to A$0.066 per NWR share. CAML will provide further updates as appropriate in due course.

New World Resources Limited 02 – Panel Declines to Make Declaration
The Panel has declined to make a declaration of unacceptable circumstances in
response to an application dated 1 July 2025 from Kinterra Capital GP Corp II in its
capacity as general partner of the Kinterra Critical Materials & Infrastructure
Opportunities Fund II, LP (Kinterra) in relation to the affairs of New World
Resources Limited (NWC).
NWC is currently subject to two control proposals, one from Central Asia Metals
PLC (CAML) and the other from Kinterra.
The application concerned whether a proposed placement to CAML frustrated the
auction for control of NWC and whether on-market acquisitions of NWC shares by
CAML on 20 June 2025 contravened certain provisions of the Corporations Act or
were otherwise contrary to an efficient, competitive and informed market (see
TP25/052). CAML’s first acquisition that day at 11:13am was made at a price above
the offer price under its then proposed scheme and takeover offer for NWC. The
proposed increase to CAML’s offer price was only disclosed to the market by NWC
at 6:03pm.
The Panel considered that the termination of NWC’s proposed placement to CAML
as announced by NWC on 7 July 2025 sufficiently addressed its concerns in relation
to the placement.
The Panel had concerns regarding the delay in the market being notified of CAML’s
offer price increase but was not satisfied that the effect that the circumstances have
had, or are having, was sufficient to justify the making of a declaration.
The Panel considered that it is not against the public interest to decline to make a
declaration of unacceptable circumstances.
On the basis of the above, the Panel decided not to make a declaration of
unacceptable circumstances

NWR directors hold naff-all shares, so their recommendation is irrelevant. The fact that NWR shareholders were complaining about a 'low-ball' is telling. This, with the new potential bidder at a higher price, also smashes to pieces Toxic's argument of CAML overpaying.

My bet would be NWR reject CAML's offer. I don't want CAML to enter a bidding war.

An update on local exploration by CAMLX would be welcome. Just telling us of any new exploration licences, and drilling plans.

It’s obviously true that there are development risks. But equally there is substantial upside to the central case projections arising from copper prices and LOM via exploration. I wouldn’t bet the farm on CAML, but it now offers substantial capital growth prospects in the medium term which was not the case before - see the longer term share price chart. People on ADVFN tend to be in search of multibaggers. CAML has now entered that market. And for mining a commodity which has very strong fundamentals wrt future global supply shortfalls.

As I see it:-
1. this acquisition, if and when they get it up and running, doubles CAML's production
2. the cost of acquisition and estimated cost of development are affordable
3. it is in a tier 1 'safe' jurisdiction
4. if all goes to plan, it will be value accretive.

But
5. It is still early stage, and may not prove to be as good a prospect as early investigations suggest
6. the success of the project depends upon development of a new mine on time and on budget. Slippage in either could radically alter the financial equation
7. it is 4000 miles away from CAML's current operations, in a jurisdiction of which CAML has no practical experience, and in which it has at present no management presence.
8. Even producing mining operations are prone to operational setbacks and political/regulatory risks. CAML's current operations are no exception (cf the travails of AAZ).This acquisition and prospective development costs are on a sufficiently substantial scale relative to the existing business that CAML can't now and for many years to come afford to suffer any serious setbacks in its present operations.

I can't even guess as to whether the price is good. I don't believe anyone can: see point 5. All we can say at present is that the vendor was happy to sell it now, at the price struck; it is happier to have the money than the project, and CAML has paid more than any other prospective purchaser was prepared to pay. That, of course is true of any sale and purchase.

In this instance though, the development risk (point 6) is higher than for the north American prospective purchasers who were not prepared to improve on CAML's bid: see point 7.

One piece of the jigsaw I have not seen is a projected timeline and CAPEX flow to production. The absence of that information may well be significant, and a warning. One thing which is clear though, is that CAML can't afford any interruption to its present operations and profits (point 8)..

The only conclusion I can draw at present is that CAML's management are going to need to be on the top of their mine development game. I hope we have the right new CEO for this new phase of CAML's business, but I can't make any guess as to whether we have as I don't know much about him.

The muted market reaction seems appropriate. This could be the making, or the near breaking of CAML.

IF (!!) the divi holds for the next few years, then accumulating at these levels is a real winner.

If the share price goes up above 160p...170p... 180p... then the chance to get that delicious divi yield has gone. The longer the share price stays down here is kind of a good thing!

Not sure when I will stop topping-up, but not stopped yet!

I remember from my calculations that at this SP, even if they don't get another asset, then the divi payments of 18p is basically all profit, as the amount of cash they will generate (and accumulate) over the years will pay back a purchase price of 155p.

So grab those divis + wait for the purchase of another asset or a massive payout (worth the current SP) if CAML stops trading when the 2 assets are used up.

Last time futures were this high in 2024 and 2017 the share price peaked at £2.30 and £3.20 respectively. Today the share price is stuck around multi-year lows. If the price of copper, zinc and lead just remain at these prices we are in for a fantastic year

MORE ANALYSIS
So I thought I would try to give the amount 1 CAML share is worth in 2034.
This is on the basis that there has been no “transformative” purchase.

Also, I’m not saying that this is the share price that would be achieved, but this is the amount of cash you would be getting back in 2034 (for your original 1 share at 155p), based on the amount your shareholding has increased (due to CAMLs increased cash in the bank and you increasing your holding by reinvesting the divi).

[1] EXTRA CASH IN THE BANK EACH YEAR
H1 2024 cash = 56.3m // FY 2024 cash (assumed) = 63.4m
Without the Sasa CAPEX, each year can add 15-17m extra cash to the bank (assumed)
This would give (10 * 17m) = 170m
Add the 63.4m = 233.4m USD = 177.4m UKP
This gives 97p / share (182m shares)

[2] DIVIDENDS EACH YEAR
Dividends at 18p for 10 years = 180p (assumed)

[3] COMPOUNDING EFFECT OF THE DIVIDEND
There’s a great compounding effect of reinvesting the divis, especially over 10 years.
Purchase 18p worth of a 155p CAML share, you then get the 11.6% divi on this too.
At the end of the next year, that 18p worth of a share is giving you 2p of extra divi.
Basically the 18p divi is now worth 20p.
If you keep doing this for 9 years, then the original 18p divi is worth 48p.

Repeat this for the next 9 years worth of divis too.
So for 2026-2034, the 18p divi ends up being worth 43p at the yield of 11.6%.

For all 10 years, this gives an extra value of 130p.

FINAL TOTAL
This gives a final value of your original 155p share = 180p + 97p + 130p = 407p.
This gives a 10% compounded annual growth from 155p, which is decent.

DRIVING THAT PRICE POTENTIALLY HIGHER
There’s still the extra 5 years of life at Sasa to 2039.
Metal price increases over the next 10 years, to increase the above.

RISKS
As the LoM approaches the end, the throughput will be less.
Metal prices might not go higher (but surely Cu and Zn are going higher medium term).

As Sasa has not been a thumpingly good purchase, I would hope the BoD would only purchase a new asset that is truly transformative. So if they did purchase a new asset, then it would increase that 407p target substantially (even with any potential dilution, borrowing or temporary pausing of the divi to purchase the new asset).

So, for me, I think 155p and around here is a good buy.
Of course the US is a risk now IMO, with the markets there going up 20% 2-years in a row.
