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).

Our core valuation of PAF is 40.93 US cents per share, based on projects either already in production or sanctioned at a long-term (real) gold price of US$1,794/oz. However, this rises by 54–67% if other assets (eg Egoli) are also taken into account, while historical P/E ratios imply a value of 44.70p in FY25 and 41.17pp in FY26 and its peers imply valuations of 61.03p and 43.33p (respectively).

Financials

On 5 November, Pan African Resources (PAF) announced that it is to acquire privately owned Tennant Consolidated Mining Group (TCMG) in Australia’s Northern Territory for a total consideration of US$54.2m in an all-share deal that involves it issuing an additional 125.4m shares (or 6.5% of its existing share capital). The acquisition price equates to an undemanding US$42.15 per resource ounce of gold or US$139.21 per reserve ounce. While we expect the acquisition to have little effect on PAF’s earnings in FY25 (apart from the increase in share capital), we estimate that it will increase FY26 earnings by US$24.6m (or 19.1%) and FY27 earnings by US$42.6m (or 29.6%) and, on this basis, will undoubtedly be accretive.
