WORKSHOP LEADER: Peyvand Bayzae, CFA, Founder, MINING VALUATION RESEARCH

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:Mining, development and exploration companies, institutional investors, business development, corporate finance, investors, analysts, bankers, geologist & geoscientists, CEOs, CFOs, Chief Development Officers, M&A staff.

WORKSHOP OUTLINE: Mining Valuation Research is a proprietary screening and valuation tool aiming to address the business development and corporate finance needs of miners and those performing due diligence investigations in the sector. In contrast to traditional financial research, the approach focuses on breadth rather than depth and primarily addresses the question of what the prevailing valuations are (rather than what they should be). The research currently covers over 70 international listed gold miners and developers and the presented analysis will be likely based on market closing prices of September 12th, 2014.

The workshop will aim to cover:

1. Introduction to the research constituents: review basic features such as geographic focus, resource & reserve scale, grades, delineations, and management guidanceonproductionandcostsaswellasoperationsconfigurationandDCFassumptions, if relevant;

2. Prevailing Valuations: illustrate the valuation multiples on both by-product and co-product basis outlining the miners impacted and the magnitude of the impact for each;

3. Regional Perspective: consider the valuations on a regional basis, illustrating the differences of prevailing multiples in Africa versus the Americas versus Australasia/Eurasia;

4. Peer Comparisons: compare factors that could impact valuations looking separately at the majors, intermediates and other producers as well as developers;

5.TechnicalReports&CashflowModellingofLifeofMineSchedules:forsomethathavedisclosedLoMschedules,firstpasscashflowprojectionscanresultinothermeasures:a. Total Capital / Recoverable Oz over LoM;b. Implied Discount Rate;

6. Exploration Premium: leading on from the implied discount rates, an anomalous observation is made, highlighting that the implied discount rates associated with developers fall, on average, below that of the producers, postulating it as areflectionofvalueattributedbythemarketstothe“hope”fordiscoveryandexploration success.

7. Multiples Decomposition: explains the why behind how the multiples are configured,demonstrating:a. resource conversion as the link between the resource & reserve enterprise value multiples; and,b. reserve life as the link between the reserve & production multiples.

8. Difference in Research Approach: conclude by outlining the difference in approachbetweenMiningValuationResearchandtraditionalfinancialanalysis.

The evening will also begin with cocktails on arrival and progress through to the ball room for sumptuous dining, drinks with some formalities from our MC and guest speakers. We will also welcome the Australia Prospectors and Miners’ Hall of Fame to announce the induction of some legendary new members.
