dvsk, nice post.
Your post says: "$8,500/tonne @ 1.4M tonnes...$12billion in situ value...I'm more than happy to work with that until AE gives us more numbers to throw into our spreadsheets....if down the road we are verified for a higher per tonne value, and resulting likely increase in economic resource size, I will not be complaining one bit".
There is nothing wrong with speculating of some price higher than $8.5k/tonne. But, as you have indicated, $8.5/tonne is a conservative (and reasonable) value which came from the company Technical Report. Using that value and 1.4M tonnes would result in the $12B in-situ value for the Albany deposit. Assuming a 5% factor, the above ground value would be 5% x 12B = $600M which is 4.9x of the current Mkt Cap ($122M).
Projected SP value: 4.9 x current SP of ~$2.20 = ~$10/s. This is a projected floor level for the SP, based on a set of conservative and information that we currently have on the table with reasonable support from ZEN management (ZEN Technical Report).
$10/s is just plenty to make some of us millionaires. If the SP gets above $20/s then "multi-millionaires" could be used then.
Dare to dream!
