Interesting valuation comment relating to GCM
"Valuation...
Polo Resources' last announced NAV (for end September 2012) was 3.83p per share (or a total of £89.3 million). At the current 2.51p the shares trade at a 34% discount to this figure. Considering that the company's stake in Nimini (£21.1 million) is essentially valued at cost there is significant upside to NAV from this holding alone given the progress being made in Sierra Leone.
There are also many potential opportunities for value creation in the medium and long-term from the firm's listed and unlisted investments. Canadian business Ironstone Resources looks set to go public sometime in 2013, an event which should increase Polo's NAV. And there is always the potential bonanza from GCM Resources, which owns a 572 million tonne coal resource in Bangladesh and which management believes could be worth up to £15 per share (currently 36p) if mine development is approved.
Given the management team's excellent track record of value creation and frequent delivery of special dividends to shareholders we would argue that the shares should at least trade at par to NAV. As such Polo Resources remains a "buy"."
