Orosur Mining — A transformational deal with Newmont

Orosur Mining — A transformational deal with Newmont

Orosur (OMI) has secured US$2m (at a 229% pre-deal premium to its share price) via a private placement with Newmont Mining (NEM) in relation to its Anzá project in Colombia. This alleviates OMI’s near-term corporate cash requirements and provides it with a funded route for Anzá through to production. Considering the beleaguered state of OMI before this with production at its Uruguay assets on care and maintenance, this initial financing from one of the world’s pre-eminent gold miners offers a realistic development route to realising Anzá ’s potential value.

Exploration and option agreement

This agreement allows NEM to farm-in up to 75% of the Anzá project. This requires total staged expenditure of US$30m, spread over three phases, and in addition also financing both a PFS and a bankable FS and paying US$4m in cash to OMI. NEM purchased an initial 29.2m shares at C$0.091 (£0.053) for gross proceeds of US$2m, reflecting a pre-deal share price premium of 229%. Phase 1 will see NEM earn 51% by paying US$10m in qualifying payments over four years and in addition US$2m in cash to OMI in the first two years. Phase 2 allows NEM to earn another 14% by spending US$20m, and financing a NI43-101 PFS and making a further US$2m in cash payments. Phase 3, if reached by NEM, will see the mining major earn its final 10% in the Anzá project by financing and completing an NI43-101 bankable FS within four years (ie 2026 to 2030). OMI also has the option to obtain financing from NEM for its share of mine development costs if NEM decides to proceed to production, with NEM’s share in the project increasing by 5% to 80%.

Interest on the Pacific shoulder of South America

We understand from management this deal has followed a number of site visit trips by NEM’s staff to Anzá. Highlighting NEM’s early confidence in Anzá being able to yield a mineral resource of suitable size and grade for it to develop (ie in the order of 3–4Moz Au) with anything smaller likely returned to, and benefiting OMI considerably in the long term. The region is seen as opening up a continuation of the world-class copper and precious metal regions of southern Peru and Chile.

Financials: FY18 results left OMI on a cliff edge

FY18 results were announced on 30 August 2018. OMI’s production of 27,586oz was sold at an average gold price of US$1,280/oz and incurred all-in sustaining costs of production of US$1,453/oz. These higher costs reflected OMI’s mining of lower than anticipated gold grades at San Gregorio and increased brown fields exploration. At 30 August 2018 the company had a small cash balance of US$0.45m, debt of US$1.9m and a net working capital deficiency of US$10.9m.

Research: Consumer

bet-at-home — Looking for a stronger performance in H218

bet-at-home is a long-established sports betting brand, successfully cross-selling into gaming. As a result of last year’s IP blocking in Poland, Q218 gross gaming revenues (GGR) declined 15.6% to €33.4m. EBITDA was additionally affected by FIFA World Cup marketing spend but management has reiterated FY18 guidance of €150m revenues and €36–40m EBITDA. Risks to forecasts include uncertainty regarding e-gaming regulation in core markets. Largely due to regulatory concerns, the stock is down 40% year to date, trading at 9.7x EV/EBITDA and 12.7x P/E for 2018e. This is in line with peers, but the company’s strong cash position and ability to pay special dividends is very attractive.
