DCF Valuations probably the bestDCF Valuations probably the best
Reason
Market Cap/oz valuations are too simple
They:Take no account of ResourceTake no account of Resource
Take no account of Cost of production
Take no account of RiskTake no account of Risk
DCF valuations do all this: As a geologist and as a mining i I d thi th d th t tengineer, I recommend this method as the most accurate,
especially for properties in the Bushveld Complex

ConclusionConclusion
Demand for PGE’s will rise, prices will rise
Supply of PGE’s will disappoint
SA has 91% of global resources (34 out of 37 5 bn oz ) 74%SA has 91% of global resources (34 out of 37.5 bn oz.), 74% down to 3000m (whether SAMREC likes it or not)
ZAR vs USD → my bet is on a weakening ZARZAR vs USD → my bet is on a weakening ZAR
Share prices should rise as long as government …….
Outlook to 2020 → POSITIVE → global recovery likely by 2015 if not sooner, prices should rise
Watching platinum has been like watching a missile take off. The metal's run-up has been nothing short of astonishing — 41% so far in 2008 and about 75% in the past 12 months! The Market Oracle – Feb 2008
