San Gold Corporation - one of Canada's most exciting new exploration companies and gold producers.
I like the 2nd model, P/E model in your post. It is fair and conservative to assume P/E 10, so 10 times next 3 yr average net profit is the market cap.
Lots of people like to talk in P/E's these days, but it's not really a reliable calculator and more of a rule of thumb:
John P. Hussman, Ph.D. [emphasis mine]:
"Talking in terms of multiples can make the process easier to explain, and can be a reasonable approach to the market as a whole if earnings are normalized properly, but ultimately, an investment security is a claim to a long-term stream of cash flows. It is not simply a blind multiple to the latest analyst estimate."
