Thanks LX600 for the correction, and lellep for reminding me of the tin, and TDITD for Zijin/Cominiere's project valuation.
Here is the revised calculation using $US112,000/ton battery grade lithium metal:
Manono has a total mineral resource of 842 million tonnes grading at 1.61% lithium oxide (Li2O), containing 13.52 million tonnes of Li2O. The split is: Roche Dure, 669 million tonnes grading at 1.63% Li2O, and Carrière de l'Este: 173 million tonnes grading 1.58% Li2O.
Based on a spot lithium metal price of $US112,000 per tonne, the aggregate value of Manono's lithium resource is: 842 million tonnes x 1.61% Li2O x 0.464 (lithium content) x $US112,000/tonne = $US704.7 billion ($AU1,064 billion).
Three percent of $AU1,064 billion is $AU31.9 billion.
AVZ holds 75% of the resource, which equates to $AU23.9 billion. AVZ has 3,528,729,748 shares on issue, which is $AU6.78 per share PLUS tin credits.
While $6.78 is just a guesstimate, which does not take into account a wide range of variables and costs, it takes into account the 80% drop in lithium price since 2022. In any case, it's still a whole lot better than the 15c being bandied around by some over at the other place.
Cheers
