Backmarker I think you must be using the out of date figures on ADVFN. They have incorrect market cap and shares in issue for months. Never rely on them. If you look on mtl web site the market cap is currently 285m. So needs to just over treble to reach 1bl. So around 30-33p not 45p. As far as DB statement re 20-25p I think he is referring to value including la India but with market being forward looking would look to see that kind of price leading into production event. That was my take on it anyway

Another great presentation/update. Bowden is really convincing and I have every confidence he will deliver. Assuming his valuation of MTL at around 25p is realistic then 1p per month increase in the share price to end 2026 is feasible.That would satisfy me. But DB leaves you thinking he has targets well beyond those he has disclosed.

With gold doing what it is doing, the time is now to reflect on what next for gold shares. Particularly those small cap minnows like MTL which itself is uniquely positioned, operationally, with:1. No need to raise cash to achieve growth;2. No need for equity dilution to achieve growth;3. A first class management team to achieve growth;4. A CEO aiming to build a billion dollar company;5. How? By internally generated growth.So, what is the background for the gold price as the bull market in gold shares is on the runway, getting ready for take off. The talented Sisters who have produced The Aden Forecast, for over 40 years, are clear on this."It will remain robust if it stays above $3100 and even if it takes a breather and tests the $2900 level, it'll still be in a strong rise"Against this background, I am particularly excited at by the prospects ahead of us as shareholders in MTL. The trick, of course, is to stay aboard and not get tempted out by penny gains as the price rises; and continues to rise, penny by penny, on the way up. So I am going to lock mine away and in the hope that by doing so it will enable me to fully participate in those very big gains that should ensue from the success of our management team in implementing the corporate strategy.GLA

Hannam & Partners​ Research

Plant secured for La India, maintaining momentum towards 2027 production Metals Exploration (“MTL”) has entered into an agreement to acquire a secondhand plant for US$9.7m which will be funded from cash and cashflows with staged payments over the next 6 months. The plant will be re-assembled at the newly acquired La India project in Nicaragua. This is in line with management’s comments and should maintain the momentum towards first production in 2027. The main catalysts should be meeting guidance at Runruno in the Philippines, hitting development milestones at La India, and initial exploration at the Abra and Dupax projects in the Philippines. Our valuation remains GBp13/share. Secondhand plant sourced from Alaska, shipment in H2 MTL has announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with Almaden Minerals to acquire a 7,000t/day plant for US$9.7m with US$2m paid within 14 days, US$3m paid on verification of transport scheduling, slated for March 31st, US$2m paid on final inspection scheduled for 30th April, and US$2.7m paid when the assets are prepared for shipment around August 31st with an adjustment made pending a final inspection. A vessel will be chartered to transport the plant to Nicaragua from its current location in Nome, Alaska, which has an ice free shipping window from late May to early October. The plant was previously at the Rock Creek mine in Alaska where construction commenced in 2006 with start-up in 2008. The mine and plant were subsequently placed on care and maintenance in 2008 and as such the plant has relatively few operating hours. The equipment includes a primary jaw crusher and secondary & tertiary cone crushers, a ball mill, Falcon gravity concentrator, CIL agitator and impellers, a thickener, a gold room, a laboratory and associated pumps, motors and spare parts. Almaden acquired the plant in 2015 for US$6.5m plus approximately C$350k of shares. MTL also acquired a new ball mill as part of the acquisition of Condor that can be integrated into the circuit. This appears to be a good price for this plant, which although old has not been extensively used and was well maintained during storage. The plant itself should only need minor refurbishment once reassembled, however the control and monitoring systems may need to be updated to take account of improvements over the past 20 years. La India should produce 145koz/year from 2027 La India has a M&I resource of 1.14Moz, with a further 1.26Moz of inferred material that should sustain average production of 145koz over at least 12 years, with upside potential from the surrounding exploration leases. The La India project is fully permitted and construction-ready with access to grid power and paved roads, although management has flagged there is work to do on the power connection and final tailings facility location. Average AISC is expected to be US$1,176/oz, and MTL has guided for initial capex US$122m, which we believe can be funded from cashflows and the existing cash resources. Our NAV for La India is US$595m using a long term gold price of US$2,100/oz and an 8% discount rate. We apply a 0.5x NAV multiple to the project while design and engineering is completed. We currently assume construction is completed in Q4 2026 with commissioning and commercial operations in 2027. We currently model the depletion of Runruno in 2027, although this could be extended if ore from the Dupax gold-copper project is processed, albeit with some alterations required to the Runruno circuit. Valuation: GBp13/share, 136% upside potential Our DCF-based SOTP valuation is GBp13/share, offering 136% upside from the current share price.





​Hannam & Partners recent news and background-


Boutique investment bank Hannam & Partners is merging with a debt advisory firm as the natural resources specialist looks to expand its London business.

The bank, which focuses on the metals and mining, and energy sectors, is combining with HCF International Advisers in a deal that will see partners at the debt advisory specialist own 15% of the new business.

Neil Passmore, chief executive of Hannam & Partners, told Financial News that the deal will mean three partners and seven employees of HCF move across to its central London offices in Marylebone.

“Our two banks often leave business on the table. We pitch for M&A and equity capital markets deals, and work with other advisors on the debt, whereas HCF works on the debt and partners with others for M&A and equity,” he said. “This deal creates cross-marketing, mutual support and more opportunities for better integrated advice.”

The merger, which remains subject to approval by regulators, means the firms continue to be partner-and-employee-owned. Hannam & Partners has seven partner-level employees and 20 investment bankers.

Hannam & Partners was formed in 2012 by former JPMorgan banker Ian Hannam and Passmore. Hannam was previously chair of global capital markets at the Wall Street bank and was known as the ‘king of mining M&A’.

HCF was founded 20 years ago by president Guy de Selliers and chief executive Sean Gorman. HCF and Hannam & Partners have worked on deals worth a combined £55bn over these periods.

The UK broking and banking sector has seen a flurry of consolidation over the past year as City names have come together amid a dearth of M&A and listings. Panmure Gordon’s merger with rival Liberum in January is one example, while Deutsche Bank took over Numis last year in a £410m deal.

Passmore said that the tie-up with HCF was a “growth-oriented merger”.

“Whatever strains there have been on UK public markets in recent months, the appetite for natural resources M&A remains strong and there is abundant private capital and it continues to grow,” he said.

There is not enough buying here in recent days when the gold price has been moving higher. We have seen days of good rises from the vast majority of gold mining shares. Unfortunately MTL has not been rising with the gold price indeed one day last week when most were Up 4% and more, MTL fell more than 4%. The result of this is that MTL in recent days has fallen 5 places in the Top 100 Gold Mining Companies to 94th.
Let’s hope this situation improves as overhang of Condor sellers clears.

It has been taking longer than it should for investors to get their CNR shares converted into MTL shares.Nothing has happened at Barclays but II are showing the MTL shares. No sign of the cash yet but that was expected to take a few days. Hopefully next week will see it sorted so that we can see how many people are going to sell their new shares immediately but also when the cash lands will people use it to add to their MTL holdings. The prospects for MTL look very promising as set out in the presentation on Friday and it will be interesting to see how the Share price settles in the coming weeks.

If you like MTL, isn't it cheaper to buy CNR and get MTL shares cheaper in that way ? Right now you can buy CNR at 28.5p£10,000 gets you 35000 shares in CNR which converts to 142,000 MTL shares and £3,465 in cash. If you bank the cash, the 142,000 shares in MTL would've cost you 4.6p / share ! A significant discount to the current MTL share price...

I do not want this board to be "delightfully quiet"
We have potentially the most exciting couple months ahead of us.
We have managed to rid ourselves of the dreaded RHL who could dictate how the Company was run.
Normally the interim accounts for the first six months are announced in the second half of September.
Similarly the production figures for the 3rd quarter will be announced in the first half of October. All these figures will be very very interesting.
But even more interesting hopefully Darren Bowden will up date us on
1) How MTL have managed to extend the life of Runruno Mine beyond 2026. It is due to exhaust the reserves of gold at Runruno in 2026. I think the main reason that the share price is so low is that pessimists believe there will be no income in the Company beyond 2026.
2) What is the progress on the Abra tenement, again pessimists believe there won't be any gold in this area.

I believe positive information on these two fronts will double the share price up to 10p.

I am an amateur on MTL, there are some far more knowledgeable experts than me I wanr these experts to share their thoughts rather than have "delightfully quiet board"
