KEFI Gold and Copper is an exploration and development company with three projects focused on the Arabian-Nubian Shield – namely, the Tulu Kapi project in Ethiopia (projected 70% interest) and the Hawiah and Jibal Qutman projects (both 25%) in Saudi Arabia.
In the wake of its March equity fund-raising, we calculated that KEFI was capable of generating free cash flow of c £82m pa from 2027 to 2032, driving average (maximum potential) dividends of 0.59p/share and valuing the company at 2.21p/share. However, at spot metal prices, this valuation rose to in excess of 5.50p/share in FY27.
