Goldplat Share Discussion Threads

that's super conservative to me Kimboy - plus the gold price rise must surely encourage both DRD and Goldplat to get this done asap, its an open goal.

[kimboy2] 08/3/2024 09:33

If we say that there is 130kozs of gold in the heap at the moment.

DRD get a recovery rate of 30-50%.

30% of 130 is 39kozs of gold recovered.

The cost of processing is $5.3/t of ore.

If we say 2.5mt of ore then that will cost $13.25m

If the gold price is $2,150 then that is a revenue of $83.5m and a profit of $70.25m.

If the gold price is $2,000 then that is a revenue of $78m and a profit of $64.75m


There will be some capex and a profit share with DRD, but I think recovery will be better than 30%. I also think gold has further to go as interest rates come down.

Still OK for a £10m company

[goldfund] 08/3/2024 09:20

Yes, you are right - just $9M extra profit for GDP🙂 another $9M when gold will be $2300🙂

[shill10] 08/3/2024 09:14

yes, but you've assumed 100% recovery rate my friend

[goldfund] 08/3/2024 08:51

I think it will be fixed cost (~$500-700/oz), so gold price upside = extra prifit to Goldplat

[shill10] 08/3/2024 08:44

goldfund, you ignore the recovery rate - lets say 50%, but you are right that is still $9 mill or 5p per share !!!!

[ertugrul] 08/3/2024 08:34

I believe bottom has not seen and should share price recover from here...

[goldfund] 07/3/2024 22:05

Gold price from 2000 to $2150. Extra 150$/oz profit. Goldplat TSF ~ 120000 oz gold. 120000x150=$18M Extra. Market cap just £10M. We need share buyback!!!

[ertugrul] 07/3/2024 18:01

Another nice tick up

[ertugrul] 05/3/2024 14:31

Good start let see can we see new highs with some good news, 10p should be first stop

[smackeraim] 05/3/2024 13:36

Yikes. Gold about to make a new high

[dangersimpson2] 05/3/2024 13:10

Apart from the TSF, it isn't a geared play, but it is linear. A 5% rise in gold price should add 5% to profits. The biggest impact is it allows them to profitably process stockpiles of lower-grade material they have bought cheaply and are marginal at lower gold prices. Plus, it opens up more opportunities for sourcing. So, it doesn't have the shoot-the-lights-out impact of the highest-cost producers, but it is positive and should have an impact on company financials and share price.

[kimboy2] 05/3/2024 10:56

Interesting question as to whther GDP is the most geared gold play. It isn't on the operating level as the cost of inputs will rise with the gold price.

However once you take into account the TSF is different. How much does gold have to go up for the increase in value of the TSF to equal the market cap of GDP as a whole?

I don't know because they haven't released the numbers. If the DRD processing costs are very low, as I suspect they will be, then it will be highly geared relative to market cap..

[dangersimpson2] 05/3/2024 10:18

This isn't the most geared gold play out there, but the high gold price makes a lot of the lower-grade material they have significant volumes of much more economic. It is hard to see SA making another loss if gold prices hold at current levels, and Ghana will be going great guns (although probably not at the exceptional level of Q2, which saw the delayed sales.)

[michaelfenton] 05/3/2024 10:18

Forgot to mention a bit of a flurry this morning. Maybe news coming?

[michaelfenton] 05/3/2024 10:15

ed sea7 this is indeed a crazy situation.

[sea7] 05/3/2024 10:10

The valuation of goldplat by the market is currently absurd

the last set of accounts show total current assets (excl non current assets) at £52.4 million, with total liabilities (current and non current) at £46.3 million.

This gives us a net current asset value of £6.1 million and the mcap is only £9.4 million.

meaning - we have the TSF, all the property, plant and equipment, as well as the intangibles, thrown in for £3.3 million.

golplat always used to trade fairly reliably on a p/e of 7 - today we are at a p/e of 3.4

The Q1 Trading update said £1.7 million in cash.

[shill10] 05/3/2024 09:47

Like you say Kimboy, the delay has more than doubled the profit of the TSF, be careful what you wish for :) my hope and expectation is that gold is heading much higher from here, maybe Martin thinks the same, hence the stalling

[kimboy2] 05/3/2024 09:36

The new JORC will be interesting. I would presume they are getting it done now. I would have thought that they would need some sort of estimate for the contract with DRD.

I am not sure how much difference to the share price a new JORC will have on the share price We have loads of gold on the premises now and it doesn't have any effect.

We need some numbers and preferably a timeline.

[sea7] 05/3/2024 09:34

and goldplat hit a new 52 week low - yesterday

[sea7] 05/3/2024 09:32

pan african is up 72% off its June 2023 low

[shill10] 05/3/2024 09:30

Also DRD shares bounced 20% from the lows, the higher this goes the more feasible a takeover

[shill10] 05/3/2024 09:26

Yep gold in rand up 8% since last communication, that probably increases the profit on TSF by c 20%

[sea7] 05/3/2024 09:02

gold is also pushing thru $2120 at the moment, as well as those highs in rand, you referenced.
