Pan African Resources (PAF) has four major producing precious metals assets in South Africa: Barberton (target output 95koz Au pa), the Barberton Tailings Retreatment Project, or BTRP (20koz), Elikhulu (55koz) and Evander underground, incorporating Egoli (currently 30koz, rising to >100koz).

We have recently increased our core valuation of PAF to 48.08 US cents per share, based on projects either already in production or sanctioned. However, this rises by 46–57% once other assets (eg Egoli) are also taken into account. In the meantime, PAF remains cheaper than its peers on at least 66% of commonly used valuation measures and has the 18th highest dividend yield in the precious metals mining sector, globally.

Financials

After exceeding our forecasts in FY23, Pan African’s (PAF’s) interim adjusted EBITDA achieved a record of ZAR1,513m in H124 – 20% above the previous record. Since then, production guidance for FY24 has been increased to 186-190koz (cf 180–190koz previously) at an unchanged all-in sustaining cost of US$1,325-1,350/oz and it has concluded a five-year wage agreement at Barberton. As a result, we have increased our normalised EPS estimate for the year by 19%. Within the next two years, however, we expect output to exceed 250koz pa and normalised EPS to exceed 6c/share.
