Company Description:

Silver Bullet Mines is a Canadian-based silver and copper exploration and development company that recently went public and raised over $6 million. SBMI’s main asset is the Black Diamond (BD) Property near Globe, Arizona, with silver and copper-gold porphyry projects. The BD Property hosts five past-producing, high-grade silver mines. The Company’s current focus is the BD Property and restarting production at the Buckeye Silver Mine in Q1/2022. The area around Globe is well known for its copper mines, thus SBMI is also exploring for copper-gold porphyry targets, with a focus on the exploration around the historical copper mines and the mineralized prospects on its property.

SBMI - side barInvestment Thesis And Upcoming Catalysts:

  • Near-term Cash Flow De-risks the Project: Work is already underway to get the Buckeye Mine back into production in Q1/2022.
  • Pre-production Sweet Spot: Research shows that exploration companies can experience upward stock price movement starting at the time they make a mine construction decision to the time of first pour.
  • Strong Management Team: Management has extensive experience and geological knowledge of the region.
  • Fully Funded for 2021: With its recent $6.1 million oversubscribed financing, SBMI is fully funded to restart production at the Buckeye Mine and deliver on its 2021 exploration and development programs.
  • Upcoming Catalysts:
    • Buckeye Mine: Restart of silver production expected in Q1/2022.
    • BD Property & Other Projects: Exploration results.

Financial Analysis & Valuation:

  • The last financing was done in July 2021 at $0.30 and a significant amount of site work has been completed at the Buckeye Mine since then.
  • We value SBMI based on an estimate of $11.25 million in cash flow over a 12-month period from restarting production at the Buckeye Mine.
  • Assuming a 5x Cash Flow Multiple, this would value SBMI at $0.80 per share based on the fully-diluted share count of 69.9 million shares. The fully diluted number assumes all options and warrants are exercised, which would increase the treasury by approximately $6.1 million.

We are Initiating Coverage with a Speculative Buy rating and one-year price target of $0.80.
