16:20 Exploration Premium: Prevalence & ImplicationAfter illustrating the enterprise value multiples of the (gold-focused) research constituents as the valuation backdrop and relying on marketefficiency(&continuousdisclosure),theobservation is made that capital markets could attribute, on average, an exploration premium to explorers and developers in the resource sectors. Explorationpremiumcouldperhapsreflectthehope for further exploration success and minerals discovery,asreflectedbyimplieddiscountrates,linking prevailing market prices to the respective disclosedlife-of-mineschedule(s).Ifthereisunderlying truth to this observation, a question becomes whether industry practice incorporates such an exploration premium in its decision-making practices when evaluating explorers and developers (and if not, exploration activity would be rendered chronically underfunded and erratic inintensity).Iftimepermits,abriefcomparisonofselected peers will be examined and decomposition of the multiples illustrated, linking them through the resource conversion and reserve life ratios.
