MLX has adopted a dividend policy where it will seek to pay out 30% of NPAT as
dividends in future years, consistent with our estimates. We estimate dividend yields of
4.8% and 5.8% in FY15 and FY16, respectively. We see this as achievable given
MLX’s modest CAPEX requirements from FY15+. We estimate MLX’s current cash
balance to be around $100m, following funds raised from its gold prepayment
arrangement with Citibank ($40.5m).
Currency and commodity price changes
We have recently trimmed our gold price estimates, now expecting US$1,208/oz
(previously US$1,265/oz) in FY15, US$1,175/oz (US$1,275/oz) in FY16, and
US$1,245/oz (US$1,290/oz) in FY17. We have also reduced our A$/US$ estimates,
now expecting 0.875 in FY15 and 0.85 from FY16 onwards. The net effect of these
changes is earnings downgrades of 5% and 1% in FY16 and FY17, respectively.

Absolute Price
Our 12-month forward NPV is $0.33/sh with around 75% of our valuation attributable to
MLX’s gold assets. MLX is trading on FY15 and FY16 PE multiples of 6.2x and 5.2x.
We see potential for MLX to re-rate as it grows gold production from around 138kopza
in FY14 to more than 350kozpa from FY17. We’ve made no material changes to our
earnings estimates and price target.

Valuation and sensitivity analysis
Valuation of $0.33/sh
Our MLX valuation of $0.33/sh is based on:
•
Discounted cash flow models of MLX’s two main producing assets (Renison tin mine
and HGO) and two development gold assets (SGO and CMGP) using a nominal WACC
of 10%;
•
A notional value on Rentails, Rover 1 and Wingellina;
•
An allowance for corporate costs; and
•
Bell Potter Securities base and precious metals estimates.

Revenue and free cash flow growth from gold production
Gold will make a substantial (+80%) contribution to revenue and EBITDA from FY16. Given
the minimal CAPEX required going forward, we expect MLX to generate substantial free
cash flow over FY15 – 18.
Our gold production assumptions are lower than company guidance (refer Figure 2) due to
differences in ramp-up assumptions and milled capacity. We have also excluded the early
stage Rover 1 project from our modelling.

Metals X Limited (MLX)
Company description
MLX is a diversified precious and base metals producer with two key producing assets
being the Renison tin mine (MLX 50%) and the Higginsville Gold Operation (MLX 100%).
The Renison tin mine is the only significant tin operation in Australia, producing around 7 –
7.5ktpa. Higginsville is producing at around 120kozpa gold.
MLX is also developing the South Kalgoorlie Operation (SKO) and the Central Murchison
Gold Project (CMGP). Combined gold production is expected to grow from around 138koz
in FY14 to more than 350koz by FY17. MLX will be increasingly leveraged to gold (and
decreasingly leveraged to tin) as CMGP and SGO ramp-up.
We estimate that gold assets will contribute to around 80% of MLX earnings in FY14 – 18.
Investment thesis and valuation: Buy, TP$0.30/sh
Our 12-month forward NPV is $0.33/sh with around 75% of our valuation attributable to
MLX’s gold assets. MLX is trading on FY15 and FY16 PE multiples of 6.2x and 5.2x. We
see potential for MLX to re-rate as it grows gold production from around 138kopza in FY14
to more than 350kozpa from FY17. We’ve made no material changes to our earnings
estimates and price target.
Shareholders
Major shareholders include: APAC Resources Ltd, 24.01%; Jinchuan Group Limited,
10.63%; and Blackrock Investment Management, 6.31%.
Risks of investment
-
Commodity price and exchange rate fluctuations. The future earnings and
valuations of exploration, development and operating resources companies are
subject to fluctuations in underlying commodity prices FX exchange rates.
-
Operating and capital cost fluctuations. Markets for exploration, development and
mining inputs can fluctuate widely and cause significant differences between planned
and actual operating and capital costs. Key operating costs are linked to energy and
labour costs.
-
Resource growth and mine life extensions. Future earnings forecasts and
valuations may rely upon resource and reserve growth to extend mine lives.
-
Regulatory changes risks. Changes to the regulation of infrastructure and taxation
(among other things) can impact the earnings and valuation of mining companies.
-
Operating and development risks. Mining companies’ assets are subject to risks
associated with their operation and development. Risks for each company can be
heightened depending on method of operation (e.g. underground versus open pit
mining). Development assets can be subject to approvals timelines or weather events,
causing delays to commissioning and commercial production.
-
Funding and capital management risks. Funding and capital management risks can
include access to debt and equity finance, maintaining covenants on debt finance,
managing dividend payments, and managing debt repayments.
