A minor increase in capital allocation to the Precious Metal sector will have a dramatic effect on associated equity prices.The HUI Index of 15 largest Un-hedged Gold Producers has comparable market capitalisation to McDonalds Corporation or Boeing Inc. Every Gold and Silver mine in the World can today be bought for less than the market capitalisation of large US retailer, Walmart.Precious Metals equities are massively undervalued relative to the physical metal.- Gold shares, when valued versus the gold price are cheaper than when gold was $270 per ounce in 2002.Natural Leverage of Producers to the Metal Price. - The inherent call option of unhedged gold in the ground.貴金屬投資技術(shù)分析英文版 (51)課件Equity Market OverviewII.

Investment StrategiesBuy gold reserves cheaplyConcentrate on the companies whose reserves are most attractively valued.Invest in high cost producersHigh cost producers have the greatest operational leverage to an increase in the gold price. Optionality.Gold is harder to find. More will be found where it was before.Companies who control significant historic production sites mothballed for decades due to price and indifference.Diversify globally.Evaluate country risk and diversify accordingly.Synthesize Silver ProductionSilver is significantly undervalued relative to Gold. Limited market. Synthetically convert gold production to silver production.Strategies貴金屬投資技術(shù)分析英文版 (51)課件Buy Gold Reserves CheaplyIII. Investment StrategiesMetal in the ground provides shareholders with a very real call option on the metal itself. - No hedging is a fundamental requirementMarket Capitalisation divided by Proven and Probable Reserves. The lower the better. Price of Gold used to calculate Proven and Probable Reserves understated in our view. - Many Producers using $500-600 per ounce to calculate reserve base. - Reserves Increase at higher prices in most cases. - Economic conversion potential of Resources to Reserves. Strip Ratios.貴金屬投資技術(shù)分析英文版 (51)課件Invest In High Cost ProducersIII. Investment Strategies Unlike many other equity investments, we prefer exposure to Producers with high costs and therefore very tight margins. Natural leverage to higher prices inevitable.-Consider the following example of a gold price of $800 per ounce.Miner A produces at $400 per ounce. Their margin is $400 per ounce.Miner B produces at $700 per ounce. Their margin is $100 per ounce.-The Gold Price subsequently rises to $1000 per ounce.Miner A still produces at $400 per ounce. Their margin is now $600 per ounce. An increased profit margin of 50%.Miner B still produces at $700 per ounce. Their margin is now $300 per ounce. An increased profit margin of 200%.-The share price of miner B should mirror the obvious outperformance. 貴金屬投資技術(shù)分析英文版 (51)課件Historic GoldfieldsMore to Yield.III. Investment StrategiesMany historic multi-million ounce gold producing regions have been dormant for more than a Century. Many simply shut after the mid 1800 gold rushes or the end of World War 1 due to costs, lack of a labour force and lack of capital. - Many historic mining regions have not been seriously re-worked or explored with modern methods and technology.- Many suffered due to disjointed and fractured ownership. Some regions are consolidated under one focused owner for the first time in their rich history. Examples such as:- Ballarat/ Bendigo in Victoria, Charters Towers in Queensland, Mt Lyell in Western Tasmania, the Carlin Trend in Nevada, Bathurst/Hargreaves in Western New South Wales.Gold doesnt appear in the crust in single “pipes” like diamonds. Where there is one gold mine there will be others. Red Lake Ontario, now controlled by Goldcorp Inc.Pure Silver mines are located in Mexico, Peru and Argentina. Historic areas again.貴金屬投資技術(shù)分析英文版 (51)課件Synthesize Silver ProductionIII. Investment StrategiesThere are very few pure Silver producers available anywhere to invest in. The Silver supply-demand imbalance suggests significant outperformance of Gold as an investment.- Silver is generally a bi-product of lead zinc and copper mines.- Supply is inelastic until pure silver mines from Mexico, Peru and Argentina become viable at much higher prices.Use of simple derivative contracts (with superior rated global banking institutions) allows AgAu Capital to convert Gold production to Silver production.- Buy silver / Sell Gold contracts effectively converts 1 ounce of Gold production to 80 ounces of silver production. - We expect the silver / gold ratio to fall from 80 to 1 at present to around 16-1 in the next 5 years.貴金屬投資技術(shù)分析英文版 (51)課件Gold/Silver RatioIII. Investment Strategies We expect significant outperformance by silver in coming years. Historic Bi-metallic monetary standard set at 16 to 1. Geologically the ratio is 14 to 1 but currently trading at 80-1 Industrial and Monetary applications ensure demand貴金屬投資技術(shù)分析英文版 (51)課件Diversify GloballyIII. Investment StrategiesAustralian Investors have very few options when looking at attractive Precious Metal investments in the local market.- We see significantly better value outside Australia at present.International Investors must be cognizant of Sovereign Risk when looking at Precious Metals as an asset class. Diversification is essential for risk management.- Nationalisation of Mines Crystallex Inc in Venezuela - Exchange Controls Zimplats in Zimbabwe.AgAu Capital monitors sovereign risk and adjusts portfolio balance accordingly.- Preference for companies incorporated in Commonwealth countries with operations in mature economies.- Manage exposure to African and South American production depending on country risk.貴金屬投資技術(shù)分析英文版 (51)課件Global ProductionIII.
