Value
Value is all about what a company is worth versus what price it is
available for. If you went into a grocery store and all the bananas were on sale
at half price, they could be considered
undervalued.
In this section, we usually try to help investors determine whether Metals Exploration is trading at an attractive price based on the cash flow it is expected to produce in the future. But as Metals Exploration has not provided consistent financial data, and the stock also has no analyst forecast or coverage, its intrinsic value cannot be reliably calculated by extrapolating past data or using analyst consensus cash flow predictions.
This is quite a rare situation as 89% of companies covered by Simply Wall St do have a valuation analysis. You can see them here.

- It is not possible to calculate the future cash flow value for Metals Exploration. This is due to cash flow or dividend data being unavailable. The share price is £0.006.
PRICE RELATIVE TO MARKET
We can also value a company based on what the stock market is willing to pay for
it. This is similar to the price of fruit (e.g. Mangoes or Avocados) increasing
when they are out of season, or how much your home is worth.The amount the stock market is willing to pay for Metals Exploration's earnings, growth and assets is considered below, and whether this is a fair price.

Performance last year
We want to ensure a company is making the most of what it has available. This is
done by comparing the return (profit) to a company's available
funds,
assets
and
capital.
- It is difficult to establish if Metals Exploration has efficiently used shareholders’ funds last year (Return on Equity greater than 20%) due to its liabilities exceeding its assets.
- It is difficult to establish if Metals Exploration has efficiently used its assets last year compared to the GB Metals and Mining industry average (Return on Assets) as it is loss-making.
- It is difficult to establish if Metals Exploration improved its use of capital last year versus 3 years ago (Return on Capital Employed) due to its liabilities exceeding its assets.
Past performance checks
We assess Metals Exploration's performance over the past 5 years by checking for:- Has earnings increased in past 5 years? (1 check)
- Has the earnings growth in the last year exceeded that of the Metals and Mining industry? (1 check)
- Is the recent earnings growth over the last year higher than the average annual growth over the past 5 years? (1 check)
- Is the Return on Equity (ROE) higher than 20%? (1 check)
- Is the Return on Assets (ROA) above industry average? (1 check)
- Has the Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) increased from 3 years ago? (1 check)
Metals Exploration has a total score of 0/6, see the detailed checks below.

Health
How is Metals Exploration's financial health and their level of debt?
A company's financial position is much like your own financial position,
it includes everything you own
(assets)
and owe
(liabilities).The boxes below represent the relative size of what makes up Metals Exploration's finances.
The net worth of a company is the difference between its assets and liabilities.
- Metals Exploration's short term (1 year) commitments are greater than its holdings of cash and other short term assets.
- Metals Exploration's long term commitments exceed its cash and other short term assets.
Balance sheet
Assets
Liabilities and shares
- High level of physical assets or inventory.
- Metals Exploration has negative shareholder equity (liabilities exceed assets) therefore debt is not covered by short term assets.
Historical Debt
Nearly all companies have debt. Debt in itself isn’t
bad,
however if the debt is too high, or the company can’t afford to pay the interest
on its debts this may have impacts in the future.The graphic below shows equity (available funds) and debt, we ideally want to see the red area (debt) decreasing.
If there is any debt we look at the companies capability to repay it, and whether the level has increased over the past 5 years.
