Introduction Case Study Conclusion Methodology Cost & Income Estimation DCF Sensitivity Analysis Risk Analysis Results of Mont Carlo simulation NPV = $ 49.65 Million This is the most probable NPV and not$ 36.6 Million
Sensitivity ranking by Mont Carlo Method Introduction Case Study Conclusion Methodology Cost & Income Estimation DCF Sensitivity Analysis Risk Analysis 2011 SME Annual Meeting, Feb. 27-Mar. 2, 2011, Denver, Colorado, US 29
Introduction Case Study Conclusion Methodology Cost & Income Estimation DCF Sensitivity Analysis Risk Analysis Risk Analysis Based on Forecast Data NPV is most sensitive to Gold Price Average price taken here to be 621.17 $/oz Future price estimation: World Bank forecasts that gold price will be 1,000 $/oz in 2020. This corresponds to growth in gold price of 5.4 % per year 2011 SME Annual Meeting, Feb. 27-Mar. 2, 2011, Denver, Colorado, US 30
Introduction Case Study Conclusion Methodology Cost & Income Estimation DCF Sensitivity Analysis Risk Analysis Risk Analysis Based on Forecast Data Therefore: If total costs increase by less than 5.4 % per year, NPV will increase 2011 SME Annual Meeting, Feb. 27-Mar. 2, 2011, Denver, Colorado, US 31
Introduction Case Study Conclusion Methodology Cost & Income Estimation DCF Sensitivity Analysis Risk Analysis Conclusion • Sensitivity Analysis showed that the selling price of gold and silver; and discount rate are the most important parameters. This is often the case in mining projects.
Introduction Case Study Conclusion Methodology Cost & Income Estimation DCF Sensitivity Analysis Risk Analysis Conclusion • The NPV and IRR of the project are calculated to be + $ 36.6 Million and %22.5 respectively. This is an attractive project for most investors. Based on the results of risk analysis, the average value for NPV is +$ 49.65 Million. We call this expected NPV.
Introduction Case Study Conclusion Methodology Cost & Income Estimation DCF Sensitivity Analysis Risk Analysis Conclusion • Mont Carlo simulation also ranks the importance of important parameters to be: • Gold Price • Discount Rate • Silver Price
