Wheaton Precious Metals - Majestic
On 12 January, First Majestic (FR, C$8.65) announced that it is to buy Primero Mining (the operator of the San Dimas mine, over which WPM holds a silver stream). As a result, the existing silver purchase agreement covering 100% (effectively) of the silver produced by the mine will be replaced by one covering 25% of gold production plus an additional amount of gold equal to 25% of silver production converted into gold at a fixed gold:silver ratio of 70:1. This has caused us to revise our FY18 EPS forecast from 67c to 63c on a like-for-like basis (vs a consensus of 64.5c, within a range 49-80c). In lieu of this, First Majestic will also issue to WPM 20.9m FR common shares with an aggregate value at the time of writing of US$145m (equivalent to US$0.33 per WPM share).
