Owning proprietary right of large open-cast mine reserves of Antimony ore, HGM is the only
significant producer of Antimony in Vietnam. Rich resources and the ongoing positive
movement of Antimony price are the key to HGM’s impressive earnings, and promise good
propects for the Company in the coming years.
Supply is still showing signs of being tightened on concern Chinese authorities may establish
strategic reserves of rare metals, a move which reflects the country’s growing concern over
scarce resources. This, as a consequence, keeps Antimony price continually extend records,
and currently surpassing USD12,000 per ton, an 80% increase compared to the same time
period last year.
Strong financial health with abundant cash allows the Company to self-finance its production
expansion with internal capital, without resort to external borrowings, and maintain a stable
and high cash dividend payout policy.
Forward revenue for 2010 is estimated at nearly VND 100 billion, which almost doubles that of
2009; forward EPS at VND 10,000, roughly 2.5 times as high as that of 2009.

Ha Giang Mineral Mechanics JSC Company Report
HGM’s Antimony COGS averages around USD 3,000 per ton and is expected
to remain stable in the years to come.
In typical mining companies, license application expense and exploration expense
will be capitalised on sucessful completion of the exploration process and then
periodically expensed into cost. However, in the case of HGM, these expense,
which is often a significant part of cost, has been expensed mostly when the
Company is still state-owned. Therefore, when restructured into the current
corporation form, little cost remains to allocate, resulting in a low COGS.
This low COGS effects a high gross margin for HGM, even amids economic
downturn as in 2008 and 2009. In the period of economic growth, COGS accounts
for only 38% of revenue, leaving gross margin as high as 62%.

Ha Giang Mineral Mechanics JSC Company Report
The dry weather in the fourth quarter is advantageous for the mining and transportation
of minerals. Therefore mining and export output quantity often surges in this quarter.
This advantage, supported by the positive movement of Antimony price, currently
breaking over USD 12,000 per ton, make it feasible for revenue to reach VND 30 billion
and net earnings to top VND 19 billion in the last quarter. 2010 revenue is estimated at
nearly VND 100 billion, net earnings at nearly VND 60 billion, and EPS at nearly VND
10,000.
7. VALUATION
To derive HGM value in different investment time horizon, we use P/E method and
FCFE model.
7.1. P/E Valuation
- P/E method is suitable for assessing investment opportunity in short-term horizon.
- Fair value: At the time of the report, average P/E of metallic minerals mining sector is
9.9 times. Given EPS forward for 2010 of VND9,801.5, the market value of HGM is
VND 97,000 per share.
7.2. FCFE model
- FCFE model is suitable to evaluate an investment opportunity in long-term horizon.
- Assumptions:
Remained reserves: as the information from the Company, the total reserve of Mau
Due Ore Body II is approximately 36,000 tons’ worth of Antimony metal. The
Company started its operation on industrial scale from 2002 with average output of
600-700 tons of Antimony metal per year. Therefore, in our estimate, the remained
reserve of Body II is around 30,000 tons at the beginning of 2011. The reserves of
Body I and III are estimated to be roughly the same as Body II’s. With these
assumptions, the total reserve of Mau Due mine reserve is 102,000 tons’ worth of
Antimony metal.
Beside Mau Due, HGM has obtained the exploration license and is almost certain
to get the exploitation license of Bo Moi mine reserve. However, since the
exploration is still underway, and reliable estimate of the reserve is not available at
the time of the report so we do not take this mine into account in valuation.
Annual output: As per 2010-2015 period plan of People Committee of Ha Giang,
the Company is planned to raise its production capacity to 2000 tons’ worth of
Antimony metal. We project the capacity lifting progress will lag for two years, so
from 2017 afterwards, annual output will be 2000 tons.
Profit margin of the business is heavily concentrated at around 50% so we adopt
this ratio to derive net income from revenues.
- Fair value: HGM is valued at VND 157,000 per share.

The valuation result does not take into account the value of:
Bo Moi mine reserve, because exploration result and reliable reserve forecast are
not available at the time of the report;
Ha Van lead and zinc factory, because the value of the factory has yet to be
appraised. In addition, at the moment the Company temporarily suspends mining
activities at lead and zinc mines to consider post-partnership contract strategy for
Ha Van factory
