Mariana Resources (MARL) - High Grade Gold&Copper

Flagship Hot Maden Project - PEA-Details:

"The study outlines an underground mining operation with annual production of 300,000 ounces per year. Approximate all-in sustaining cash costs are $450/oz. The Hot Maden project has a mine life of 9 years and an incredible after-tax IRR of 153% using a gold price of $1,250/oz. This would result in a payback of just over 2 years, and closer to 2.5 years using current gold prices."

UPDATE: MARL has opened at 87p in London on 3m shares traded. That's only just above its recent January highs and plenty below the nominal 110p offer price, probably due to UK capital gains tax laws. The lack of percentage lock-up is the main barrier to deal success here, so SAND may look like it's pitching high, what it's really doing is telling UK instos that this is a tax-efficient way of buying their shares. You can think what you like about the Hot Maden asset (for what it's worth, I like it and like it even more after the Yes vote in the recent referendum), but it's clear that Nolan has done his homework on the deal structure and thought it through well. After all, they'll still be 81% of the newco...that doesn't leave room for a massive price dumpage for SAND today.
