It seems that I now have to run new prices into my spreadsheet for GG quite often to stay in touch with possible GG earnings at various price levels. Now that $700 has fallen, here is what the model spits out at 3 different price levels:
Gold $650, Copper $3.00
GG after tax EPS projects at: $1.50 per share on an one year forward basis once the 2 million ounces per year production kicks in.
Gold $700, Copper $3.00
GG after tax EPS projects at: $1.70 per share
Gold $750, Copper $3.00
GG after tax EPS projects at: $1.90 per share
Other info:
My model shows cash cost per ounce as follows at various copper prices:
$2.75 lb = $60 per ounce
$3.00 lb = $38 per ounce
$3.50 lb = $0 per ounce (yes, ZERO)
Those costs were calculated by taking the actual cash costs per ounce in Q4 2005 and BUMPING THEM UP ABOUT 30% to account for higher fuel costs and new higher cost mines at Amapari and from PDG.
My earnings calculations also provided for about $70 million in interest expense on the loan to acquire the PDG mines. That may be lower because that loan may be paid off quicker than expected due to higher cash flows.
golddataseeker:
Did your share count take the conversion of warrants into account?
Thanks in advance.
Listen up grasshoppers. When golddataseeker speaks, we listen. His spreadsheet model of GG earnings has been the best indication of what earnings will be bar none. The company would probably like to have him doing their guidance for them. Thanks again for sharing your work with us dataseeker. It's been invaluable.
...Bud
speaking of which, where is that guy..been a while..not that i miss (it).
And also the debt problem, methinks...
Another Telfer coup.
Numbers look good, real good.
I was under the impression that $1 per share would be on the high side of expectation.
Hope you�re right.
Thanks for the info :-)
I put the detailed numbers on here for $650 gold and $3.00 copper so you can see for yourself and change anything you want to:
All info is based on GG guidance and/or actual most recent available data.
Revenue:
Gold $650 x 2,050,000 = $1.3 Billion
Silver $3.90 x 12,000,000 = $47 million
Copper $3.00 x 160,000,000 = $480 million
------------------------------------------
Total of all Revenues = $1.86 Billion
Gold Operating Costs at $200/oz
times 2.05 million ozs. = $410 million
Copper Operating Costs at .93 per lb.
= $148 million in copper costs
Depletion & Deprciation at
$120/oz times 2.05 million oz = $246 million
General & Admin Expense including
Interest expense on loan = $60/oz
times 2.05 million oz = $123 million
Gross profit before taxes = about $933 Million
Taxes at 35% tax rate = $326 million
Net Profit after taxes = $607 million
Avg. shares out after warrant
conversion & Virginia deal = about 400 million shares
$607 million / 400 million shares = $1.52
notes - actual gold operating costs per ounce in Q4 2005 were about $145/oz, actual copper costs per lb. were about .83 per lb.

There you go.
