NUSANTARA RESOURCES LIMITED Research Note

EMERGING INDONESIAN GOLD PRODUCER – 2 MOZ MINERAL RESOURCE 







Nusantara Resources Limited (NUS) is focused on the development of its 100% owned flagship Awak Mas Gold Project in Sulawesi Indonesia, which currently has a 2.0M oz JORC compliant resource, and production targeted for early 2020. NUS’s highly experienced Board and management team is working to increase shareholder value through advancing the Awak Mas Gold project towards development in the near-term. The company plans to undertake further drilling, which has the potential to significantly increase the resource inventory and complete a Definitive Feasibility Study by mid – 2018 in advance of a final investment decision expected for late 2018. Strong exploration upside. NUS has undertaken a high impact exploration program focusing on extensional resource drilling using the funds received through the IPO and is expected to allocate c.$2m for exploration per year post the DFS. In January 2018, the company announced a 12% increase in the resource to 1.93 Moz. This was followed up in February 2018 with a further 70 koz increase following the update of the Salu Bulo resource, bringing the project resource to 2 Moz. This update has now resulted in a 260koz increase using the US$1400/oz resource optimisation shells since commencement of drilling and includes an increase of 720koz using the US$1200/oz resource optimisation shells. Is Country risk too high? We consider Indonesia to be more problematic than other East Asian countries, with a history of issues with the Indonesian Government. There have been some highly successful mines in Indonesia, such as Gosowong, Batu Hijau, Toka Tindung and Ponkor. However, the loss of Intrepid’s Tujuh Bukit due to Intrepid’s issues with securing legal ownership of their tenements should not be seen as bearing on NUS, and recent issues with requirements to produce finished product in country have tarnished the investment appeal here (whilst not applying to projects such as Awak Mas which produce gold dore). Given Awak Mas is covered under a COW 7 and that NUS has direct ownership of the Indonesian subsidiary, PT Masmindo, and therefore direct ownership of the tenement, we feel ownership is less of an issue here, and look at the project as moderate risk with respect to country risk. Valuation. Our base case assumes a 10% discount rate, with us recently adopting a 5% discount rate for the broader gold sector (up from the historic Patersons discount rate of 0%). We have assumed a funding requirement of $200m, comprised $100m of debt, $100m equity, with the equity component completed at a 10% discount to the current share price. We initiate coverage on NUS with a target price of $0.59 and a Speculative Buy rating. We note the project valuation of $152.4m vs current market capitalisation of $20.9m. Our valuation is highly sensitive to the impact of the current NUS price on the shares issued for an assumed equity raise. Should we assume the IPO price of $0.42 for the raise, our valuation lifts to $0.84.

Nusantara Resources Limited

HISTORY NUS was listed on the ASX in August 2017, focussed on the development of its flagship Awak Mas project in Indonesia, which currently has a 2.00M oz JORC compliant resource, and production targeted for early 2020. The company is a spin-off out from One Asia Resources, with Lion Selection Group retaining a 32.2% interest in the company.

AWAK MAS GOLD PROJECT Figure 1: Project location

Source: Nustantara

Awak Mas has had varied international ownership since its discovery in 1991. The original partners in the Joint Venture were New Hope Consolidated Industries (New Hope) and Pt Asminco Bara Utama (Asminco). In September 1991, Battle Mountain concluded a farm-in agreement with New Hope and subsequently earned 60% of the project. The project was consolidated into one entity by Gascoyne Gold Mines, and ownership passed through a number of major gold companies in the ensuing years, generally viewed as not of size to justify development within the confines of a major. One Asia Resources took on ownership of the project in 2009, with ownership passing to NUS through the sell down and listing in 2017. To date, over 130,000m of drilling and several development studies have been completed. PFS was completed in 2015, which supported a 10-year 100koz pa operation with competitive margins. DFS is currently underway, with completion expected mid-2018, and targeted gold production in early 2020. Current 2.00 Moz (1.38g/t) gold resource includes 180k ounces of higher grade (1.53g/t Au material) at Salu Bulo which is expected to be processed early in the mine life to optimise cashflow. The project is under a 7 th generation COW (Contract of Work), which allows 100% foreign ownership. There is indication that the Indonesian Government will seek for NUS to divest 51% of the project before year 10 to Indonesian Parties. NUS has commenced a process looking for an Indonesian partner to purchase 25% of the project as part of its long-term funding strategy. The COW comprised 14,000ha in non-forestry land, with a three-year ‘Construction Phase’ awarded in June 2017, following the awarding of an Environmental Permit in April 2017. The Awak Mas Project has access to grid power, with easy access to the establish ports of Palopo and Belopa, daily flights to Palopo from Makassar, and 40km by paved and unpaved road from the project to Belopa. Current project scope envisages a 2-3mtpa operation Production 100-125k oz Au per annum, with AISC of US$500-700/oz, and project capital of US$150-175m, with a strip ratio of circa 3.5:1, with high grade early production from Salu Bulo Recovery rates of 90-94% are expected, with good water availability on site.

EXPLORATION NUS is expected to allocate post the DFS c.$2m for exploration for the next 12 months, focussed on extensional drilling of the Awak Mas and Salu Bulo deposits, resource definition drilling at the Tarra deposit and exploration targeted for satellite deposits. In February 2018, the company announced a new resource that included the previously announced resource upgrade to Awak Mas and a new updated Salu Bulo resource. This resource update results in a 15% increase in resource to 2.00M ounces, including a 720koz increase in contained ounces to 1.82 Moz for the US$1,200 optimisation shells at Awak Mas and Salu Bulo. Assays are pending on drilling to confirm eastern extensions of Awak Mas, with results due in February 2018.

VALUATION Our base case assumes a 10% discount rate, with us recently adopting a 5% discount rate for the broader gold sector (up from the historic Patersons discount rate of 0% for the gold sector). We have assumed a funding requirement of $200m, comprised $100m debt, $100m equity, with the equity component completed at a 10% discount to the current share price). Our spot gold valuation and 20% above spot gold valuation applies the same assumptions as discussed above, with the exception of the gold price. Figure 6: Valuation

RISK ANALYSIS We consider NUS to have a high risk profile given funding requirements of the project, with the political risk associated with Indonesia assessed as high. 1.

2.

3.

Project risk. Project risk remains quite high, with a DFS currently underway (but key project approvals already in place). Whilst the 7th generation COW in principal requires no local sell down, the Indonesian Government does appear to be agitating for some amendments to the COW system to potentially introduce mandatory Indonesian ownership via staged divestment of the project no later than six years following commercial production. In good faith, NUS has commenced a process to engage a strategic local partner for Awak Mas, with very encouraging initial talks. Funding. We view funding as problematic through both the fact that the capital requirements are c. 10X the current market capitalisation of the company, with an added risk of funding an Indonesian project with some question marks over the ultimate ownership structure. However, looking at the major shareholders including Lion Selection and AustralianSuper, we would view the share register as supportive in helping with any funding, and the Indonesian sell down could also bring in some further capital. Country Risk. Country risk is viewed as moderate in a project such as this, with a history of issues with the Indonesian Government. Most notably, Intrepid lost their first class Tujuh Bukit project when its Indonesian partners seized the site and ordered intrepid works to evacuate. Freeport has also been involved in a long running dispute with the Indonesian Government over ownership of the Grasberg mine. Conversely we has seen several mines operate successfully over an extended period including Newcrest’s Kencana mine and Newmont successful operating its 48.5% owned Batu Hijau copper and gold mine until sale to local company for $1.3bn in 2016.

SENSITIVITY The tables below show the valuation is most sensitive to changes in gold price and head grade. Given we have a relatively finite production profile for c.8 years, the incremental increase of tonnage at the tail of mine life doesn’t add significantly to valuation.

Recommendation History

Stock recommendations: Investment ratings are a function of Patersons expectation of total return (forecast price appreciation plus dividend yield) within the next 12 months. The investment ratings are Buy (expected total return of 10% or more), Hold (-10% to +10% total return) and Sell (> 10% negative total return). In addition we have a Speculative Buy rating covering higher risk stocks that may not be of investment grade due to low market capitalisation, high debt levels, or significant risks in the business model. Investment ratings are determined at the time of initiation of coverage, or a change in target price. At other times the expected total return may fall outside of these ranges because of price movements and/or volatility. Such interim deviations from specified ranges will be permitted but will become subject to review by Research Management. This Document is not to be passed on to any third party without our prior written consent.
