Caledonia Mining - Expansion on track, a gold mine with purpose

FY17 saw Caledonia Mining (CMCL) marginally beat its 54-56koz gold production guidance, drive down AISC costs, its head grade increase (which had a corresponding positive effect on gold recoveries) and add significantly to its code-compliant resource base. In relation to its investment plan to lift production to 80koz by 2021, we see capex peaking this financial year (FY18), which will then allow significantly improved free cash flow generation. Coupled with an improved political environment and regulatory changes seemingly favouring gold miners (with a key objective of improving Zimbabwe’s domestic US$ currency supply), Caledonia is very well placed to capitalise on the long-overdue opening up of one of Africa’s prime geological and mining gems.
