Q1’23 revenues and profits were significantly down on Q1’22, unsurprising given earlier reporting of below-expectation production at the 64%-owned Blanket mine and a disappointing start to oxide production at Bilboes. However, there are indications that the worst is behind us, e.g. Blanket has since been producing at an annualised rate of 80koz (100% basis), allowing FY23 guidance for the mine of 75-80koz to be reiterated. We expect to see improving results over the course of 2023. Having update...
Q1’23 production at the 64%-owned Blanket gold mine in Zimbabwe was down at 16koz (100% basis) on breakdowns and logistical issues. Encouragingly, early April has been “better than expected”, and Caledonia reiterated FY23 guidance for Blanket of 75-80koz. However, guidance for Bilboes’ oxide operation has been withdrawn following operational challenges. We conservatively remove oxide production from our valuation, which sees our Target Price falling to 1102p (from 1255p). We also update our rati...
We quizzed Harmony Gold (JSE: HAR) about the Morobe provincial government’s change of stance to being supportive of the Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture (JV) in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Apparently, previous opposition stemmed from dissatisfaction with the split of revenues accruing to the province, which issue has been resolved. If Newmont’s blockbuster takeover of JV partner Newcrest goes ahead, Harmony would have first right to acquire Newcrest’s 50% interest, should this be put up for sale.
Consolidation in the gold space is a hot topic at the moment, particularly given Newmont’s approach to Newcrest. We believe Caledonia and Shanta to be potential targets; Centamin could look to merge with a Tier II/III peer; and Endeavour is unlikely to be a buyer for now. For 2023, we have advocated selected smaller African Gold producers which feature material upcoming catalysts to outperform – a strategy which has worked well so far, with the exception of Centamin (which we now rate SELL on ab...
We have revised our model for the FY22 results, a recently published technical report on Blanket and last week’s placing. Our Blanket valuation takes a significant hit from lower grades, higher opex and capex. Offsetting this somewhat is a preliminary valuation of Motapa (which we believe will be able to contribute to oxide production relatively rapidly), simplistically derived by applying a 50% risk ‘haircut’ to our Bilboes valuation. Our updated Target Price is 1,255p (prior to temporary suspe...
Caledonia this morning raised c.US$10.6m (c.£8.7m) at 1,115p/share. The proceeds will be used to accelerate planned work at the recently acquired Bilboes, Motapa and Maligreen projects. FY22 financials were also reported (gross profit was in-line with our forecast, but an impairment resulted in a slightly lower bottom line vs. FY21); and FY23 production guidance was reiterated. We temporarily suspend our rating and target price while we update our model for the placing and FY22 financials, plus ...
