Metals mining company announcements incorporated into today’s Peer Table (resource updates, economic studies, changes in attributable project ownership) include:
23 Jan 2025 - Intermediate gold producer Gold Road Resources (ASX:GOR) announced its annual resource and reserve statement as at 31 Dec 2024. The company’s reported attributable gold resources increased by 0.3 Moz or 6% to 4.81 Moz.
22 Jan 2025 - Lithium producer Pilbara Minerals (ASX:PLS) announced that its acquistion of Latin Resources (ASX:LRS) has become legally effective, and we have added LRS resource holdings to PLS resource holdings in our Peer Table, and removed LRS from the Peer Table, which was to be suspended from ASX trading at market close today. On market cap/t LCE, PLS leads the pack of ASX Li producers at a market cap/t LCE of $326/t LCE ($84/oz AuEq), but this is only a slight premium to our 10 company lithium producer peer group median of $286/t LCEe ($74/oz AuEq), which is still a far cry from the valuation of the most dominant players in the group (SQM, Albermarle, and Arcadium, trading at $1801, $770, and $522/t LCEe) - offering much upside potential for PLS still.
28 Nov 2024 - Wildcat Resources (ASX:WC8) delivered a large maiden hard rock lithium resource of 1.8 Mt LCE grading 1.0% lithium oxide (plus tantalum and iron oxide), and the company and resources have now been added to our lithium hard rock explorer peer group (after being identified as missing from the Peer Table).
