Analyst Report Outlines Brightstar’s ‘Cheapest, Quickest’ Path to Cash Generation

Description:

Corporate finance advisor Evolution Capital affirms Brightstar Resources’ (ASX:BTR) potential to be one of the cheapest and quickest pathways to cash generation.


Evolution Capital has given BTR a valuation of AU$95 million or $0.032 per share, assuming a flat gold price of AU$3,000 per ounce.

“The risks to our valuation are on the upside considering renewed investor interest in gold, further exploration success, which could be easily and quickly monetises … and a potential lithium pegmatite discovery,” the report noted.

BTR’s scoping study combining the development of the Menzies (Lady Shenton + Yunndaga deposits) and Laverton assets (Cork Tree Well + Alpha deposits) “demonstrates to the market some enviable characteristics” entailed with initial development capital AU$22 million, low technical risks, and a high profitability index, the report said.

Evolution Capital expects an intense 2024 newsflow, including cash flow from the Selkirk gold production, ongoing results from greenfield exploration, as well as infill and extensional drilling, resource updates, completion of the pre-feasibility study, and the potential discovery of lithium-bearing pegmatites at the Menzies project.

Highlights from the report:

  • The $5 million placement announced by BTR in November 2023 and the expected cash flow from the Selkirk 50/50 profit sharing JV in 2024 will accelerate exploration work and the completion of pre-feasibility study for the restart of the Menzies and Laverton gold projects. Production at the Selkirk JV is expected to generate cash flow for BTR by the first quarter of 2024. Evolution Capital estimates BTR’s profit share at $4 million.
  • The scoping study for the development of the Menzies and Laverton assets demonstrates some enviable characteristics, which Evolution Capital summarized as: low initial development capital of $22 million, low technical risks, and a four-times-higher profitability index.
  • Using a gold price of AU$3,000 per ounce, and a 25 percent risk discount, the analyst firm gave the Laverton and Menzies Projects a valuation of AU$93 million or $0.031 per share.

Leigh Goehring: Gold's "Massive Bull Market" Just Starting; Uranium and Copper Outlook

Leigh Goehring, managing partner at Goehring & Rozencwajg, shared his outlook for gold, outlining calculations that show the yellow metal potentially rising to the US$15,000 to US$25,000 per ounce range in this cycle.

"We're a believer that we have just entered into a massive bull market in gold, and the underlying fundamental reasons are the fact that over the last 15 years, ever since the global financial crisis, we've printed so much money," he said.

Goehring said that in a May 2000 interview with Forbes Magazine, he predicted the yellow metal could rise as high as US$2,500 — a call that was considered "outrageous" given gold's price of US$250 at the time.

Fed Cuts Rate in Post-Election Meeting, Gold and Silver Gain

Hot on the heels of Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election was an important meeting of the US Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) on November 6 and 7.

At the meeting, the committee decided to lower the benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 4.5 to 4.75 percent. This marks the second cut by the FOMC, which made an outsized 50 point cut at its last meeting in September.

The rate cuts have come as inflation has cooled towards the 2 percent target set by the Fed when it first began raising interest rates in February 2022. While the personal consumption expenditure index for September had fallen to an overall 2.1 percent increase year-over-year, the committee was still concerned about some stickiness, as the PCE less food and energy prices was up 2.7 percent.
