The future of Brilliant Mining is complex.
It has a bright future of a nickel mining concern,
but
its financial structure, once simplified, creates unusual values.

 

 

International Nickel, a Vancouver-based company whose main operation is a 25% partnership with a nickel mining entity in Perth, Australia, itself a public company in Australia, is in the mining business.


The company was incorporated under the Alberta Business Corporation Act on October 1, 1998 and has its shares listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange. In the period ended June 30, 2006, the company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of a private Australian company, Donegal Resources Pty. Ltd. Donegal has a 25% interest in the unincorporated Lanfranchi nickel mine.

It is expected that all warrants and convertible debentures will be converted in 2007, and the company will receive $12M.


Brilliant Mining corp. is an international nickel explorer and producer. The company holds a 25% interest in the Tramways Tenements Project, host to the producing Lanfranchi Nickel Mine, located in the world-class Kambalda Nickel District of Western Australia. Kambalda is ranked third in the world for nickel production, with Lanfranchi contributing close to 10% of the Kambalda region's historic nickel production. Mining at the Lanfranchi Mine has increased from 200,000 tons of nickel ore in 2006, with current projections to produce 280,000 tons in 2007 and 350,000 tons in 2008. With the Lanfranchi Mine in Australia and early stage projects in Canada, Brilliant is capitalizing on nickel opportunities from exploration to production.


Calculating at the current market price of $50,000+ per ton, the Lanfranchi Mine is a meaningful entity.

1) Brilliant's 25% participation is currently 250,000 lb./month. By December 2007, the     monthly allocation would increase to 500,000.


2) The current market price (spot) is $22 - $24 per pound.


3) On August 1, 2007, the $7.00 hedge price will disappear and the $22+/lb. sale price will     apply. Accordingly, we expect an unusual per share earnings increase. Over the years, we     predict a meaningful cash accumulation of the company.

EVALUATION

 

FINANCIAL BREAKDOWN

 

Assuming the operating assets are worth:                    $3.00


EPS in 2008, if $3.00 is worth                                      $1.50


Cash, discounted till 2010, amounting to $100M           $6.00


There is a valuation of $6-10 per share                        $10.50

 

Optimistic as it may be, with the possibility of $100M cash in BMC in four years, the company is attractive both for speculators or private equity investors.
