Pan African Resources has four major producing precious metals assets in South Africa: Barberton (target output 95koz Au pa), the Barberton Tailings Retreatment Project, or BTRP (20koz), Elikhulu (55koz) and Evander underground, incorporating Egoli (currently 45koz, rising to >75koz).
Following H123 results, our core valuation of PAF was 32.59c/share (27.08p/share), based on projects either already in production or sanctioned. However, this rises by 16.09–21.11c (13.30–17.45p) once other assets (eg Egoli) are also taken into account. Alternatively, if PAF’s historical average price to normalised EPS ratio of 8.6x is applied to our FY23 forecast, it implies a share price of 29.53p, followed by 30.49p in FY24.
