West African Resources (WAF) started producing gold about two years ago
Now with the cash flow from their Burkina Faso gold mine they have transitioned from having $220m of net debt to having $200m of net cash.
So WAF are a cash producing behemoth.
Now Burkina Faso is a volatile country with a coup in January that temporarily impacted WAF's share price. And with that sovereign risk there is a significant discount to WAF's valuation.
Market Cap is approximately $1.4b
Cash receipts (TTM) = $740m
Operating cash flow (TTM) = $430m
CAPEX (TTM) = $60m
Free cash flow (TTM) = $360m (you can see why/how the company have gone from high debt to high cash levels)
So the company is trading on about 4 times free cash flow.
**Note: the company will pay $45m for the final downpayment of another project**
