Investment summary

On 3 February, Cluff announced the acquisition of the Sega Gold project from Orezone for a consideration of 11 million ordinary shares and US$15m in cash (c US$31m in total). For a total resource of 597,710oz, the consideration equates to US$51.90 per resource ounce – in line with Cluff’s pre-deal enterprise value of US$47.83 per resource ounce (based on resources as at 31 December 2010). Assuming a similar ore and cost profile to Kalsaka (just 20km away), however, Edison estimates that the total internal rate of return to Cluff from its investment (ie including its acquisition cost) could be 77%.
