Minto Strategic Options
Pembridge Resources plc is a public company, listed on the standard segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange with a market capitalisation of £4.7 million/$6.3 million on 26 January 2022.
Following Minto’s successful raise of C$31 million and the subsequent listing on the TSX in Q4 2021, Pembridge is now focused on the next phase of its business development.
In addition to $4.1 million to be received as repayment for historic funding of the Minto mine, Pembridge will leverage off its resultant 11.2% interest in Minto (valued at $17 million/£12.4 million on 26 January 2022) and has the following options which can be pursued independently or in tandem:
Option
Retain 11.2% stake and receive dividends from operations. Expected net cashflow from existing resources expected to range from $17-30 million* versus current Pembridge market cap of approximately $6.3 million
Option
Expand the Pembridge portfolio by using the Minto asset as a basis to leverage for further investment in new projects – this is the chosen strategy by Pembridge Board of Directors and this presentation explores the options that can be considered
Option
Dispose of Minto holdings. Whilst this is low risk and accretive relative to the current Pembridge share price (current value of holding equates to approximately $17.0 million), it will cap expected future returns and upside.
