Pan African Resources - The sun rises over Egoli’s city of gold
Notwithstanding COVID-19, Pan African’s (PAF) normalised financial results for FY20 were materially ahead of our expectations, driven by a US$9.9m positive variance in the direct cost of production (see Exhibit 3). In consequence, the group announced a more than fivefold increase in its proposed dividend for the year in US dollar terms to a record ZAR312.9m, putting it among the top 14 dividend-paying precious metals companies globally in terms of yield (see Exhibit 15). While FY20 represented a step change in PAF’s profitability compared with FY19, we believe that another step change is possible in FY21 under the influence of higher gold prices, close control of costs as new projects come on stream, a benign foreign exchange environment, a rising production profile and the maturity of all remaining hedging contracts prior to December 2020.Pan African Resources is a mid-tier African-focused precious metals producer. Co.'s business activities were conducted through the following business segments: Barberton Mines (including Barberton Tailings Retreatment Plant), located in Barberton, South Africa; Evander Mines (including Evander Mines' Tailings Retreatment Plant), located in Evander, South Africa;Corporate; and Pan African Resources Funding Company Proprietary Limited.
