1.  PRODUCTION

Data-
30 000 000 tonnes Cu ore/day for 350 days for 20 years
Mill recovery 87% for every 1 tonnage mined
Cu grade is 0.8% tone Cu per mill tonnage produce.
The price of Cu is projected to be US$1.25/lb

Production = 30 000 x 350 x 20 = 210 000 000 metric tones of Cu ore for 20 years.

Mill trough put Recovery =  87% x 210 000 000 = 182 700 000 Mill tonnage
                                               100

 Cu ore grade is 0.8% tonne Cu per mill tonnage produced

                0.8% x 182 700 000 = 1 461 600 tonnes Cu produced
               100

Price of Cu is projected to be US$ 1.25/lb
1 lb = 0.4535924 kg = 0.000453924 tonnes (Using Calculator Conversion)
                       US$ 1.25 = 0.000453924 tonnes                                                                                 
                          xUS$   = 1 tonne
                      1 tonne    = US$ 2755.778095

Therefore price of Cu projected is US$ 2755.778095/tonne

 Gross Revenue = US$ 2755.778095 x 1 461 600 tonnes of Cu = US$ 4 027 845 264  

2. Capital Cost

Data-
Capital cost projected to be US$600 million (1990)
Working Capital is US$ 70 million (1990)

NB: expected to be incurred in year 2

 Salvage value is 20% of the capital cost.

Capital Cost – 60% debt with 12% interest
                     -  40% equity raising 
Real escalation is 4%

Calculation

·         Inflation in 2010 =   CPI Dec 2010  - 1       =   US$ 219.179 - 1 =  63.81 %
        CPI Dec 1990                   US$ 133.80
                                           = 63.81%  nominal inflation in 2010

    
·         Nominal escalation    = (1+ inf 1990 -2010)* (1 + real esc.)n -1
= (1+ 0.6381)* (1+0.04)20 – 1
= 258.9 % over the 20  years period
Therefore,
·         Capital Cost (Dec 1990) US$ 600 M x (1+2.589) = US$ 2 153 400 000 (Dec 2010)

·         Working Capital ( Dec 1990) US$ 70M x (1 + 2.589) = US$ 251 230 000 (Dec 2010)

·         Capital Cost financed through debt  60% with 12% interest
      60%/100 x US$ 2 153 400 000 =  US$ 1 292 040 000 with 12% interest

·         Capital cost financed through equity of 40 %
      40% / 100 x US$ 2 153 400 000 =  US$ 861 360 000
·         Salvage
20%/100 x US$ 2 153 400 000 =   US$ 430 680 000

Annual Interest plus principle payment
A = P x    i x (1 + i) n = US$ 1 292 040 000 x 0.12(1 +0.12)10 =  US$ 228 670 619.5
                 (1 + i)n – 1                                      (1 + 0.12 )10 -1

                                   = US$ 228 670 619.5

Principle = US$ 1 292 040 000 = US$ 129 204 000
                            10

Interest = Annual payment – principle
             = US$ 228 670 619.5  – US$ 129 204 000 = US$ 67 201 632.5

3.      Operating Cost

i)              Mining Operation Cost

Data

Total ore & waste tonnage is 90 000 tonnes mined per day for 350 days for 20 years
 It cost US$1.0/tonne to remove both waste and ore.

Total cost = US$ 1.0/tonnes x 90 000 x 350
                  =US$ 31 500 000 (1990 value)
Therefore;
·         Mining operating Cost
 (Dec 1990) US$ 31 500 000 x (1+2.589) = US$ 113 053 500 (Dec 2010)

ii)             Milling, Severance and administration operating cost
 a)      Milling
Milling Cost = US$1.60/tonne x 30 000 x 350 = US$ 16 800 000 (1990 value)
        (Dec 1990) US$ 16 800 000 x (1 + 2.589) = US$ 60 295 200 (Dec 2010)
b)      Severance
Severance Cost = US$0.10/tonne x 30 000 x 350   = US$ 1 050 000 (Dec 1990)
                 (Dec 1990) US$1 050 000 x (1 + 2.589) = US$ 3 768 450 (Dec 2010)
c)      Administration
Administration Cost = US$ 0.20/tonne x 30 000 x 350 = US$ 2 100 000 (Dec 1990)
                        (Dec 1990) US$ 2 100 000 x (1+2.589) = US$ 7 536 900 (Dec 2010)

d)     1 tonne Cu smelter-charged is imposed on every 0.87 tonne mill production =
  1tonne/ 0.87tonne x US$1.60 x 30 000 x 350 =US$ 19 310 344.83 (Dec 1990)
           (Dec 1990) US$ 19 310 344.83 x (1+2.589) = US$ 69 304 827.59 (Dec 2010) 


Total Operating Cost = US$ 253 958 877.6

4. Development Cost (Capital Cost)
     Year 0 to Year 1 amount used is US$300 million (1990)
  (Dec 1990)US$ 300M x (1+2.589) = US$ 1 076 700 000 (2010 value)

Year 1 to Year 2 amount used is US$300 million (1990 value)
    (Dec 1990)US$ 300M x (1+2.589) = US$ 1 076 700 000  (2010 value)

5. Royalty
 2% + 0.25% = 2.25% from Year 2 to Year 12
2.25% - 0.25% = 2.0 % from Year 13 to Year 22
 6.      Income Tax
 PNG Income Tax rate is 30% of the corporate income.

7.      Depreciation
Year 2 – 14 Apply Double Declining Balance Method (1/2 convention)
Year 15 – 22 Switch to Straight line depreciation.

ii)                  Straight Line Depreciation

      Annual Depreciation = US$ 41 064 561.09 = US$ 5 133 070.137/year
                                                  8 years

8.      Discount Rate
Step 1
   E(Ri) = Rf + ßi [E (Rm – Rf )]
             =  5% + 1% * [ 6% – 5% ]
            =  6% is expected rate of return on the stock investment
Step 2
  WACC =   E(Ri) *     D    +      D      *  (1 – t )* i
                               (D + E)   (D + E)

  WACC = 6% *        60        +           60       * (1 – 0.3)*  12      
                            (40 + 60)           (40 + 60)

             = 8.64%

Therefore the discount rate is 8.64%



                                           Summary of the Calculation

·         Gross Revenue   US$ 4 027 845 264
·         Royalty -  2%  + 0.25% = 2.25% from Year 2 to Year 12
