“ Shanta Closer to Becoming a Mid-Tier East African Gold Producer
Singida is a low cost simple open pit operation with considerable upside to the production range and longevity. The project’s key points:
• High Returns – This is a low cost (capex $37m, AISC $930/oz) project with a reserve-based NPV8 of US$82m at $1800/oz and an IRR of 46%
• Low Risk - The internally-funded construction timetable of 24 months is quick and the mine is planned to be producing 35koz by Q1 2023 taking group production up to c.110,000oz pa.
• Disproportionate Upside - The 243koz of reserves grading 3g/t, around which the open pit is based, are only 120m deep. There is a further 664koz grading 2.11g/t of measured, indicated and inferred resource on the property with a strike length of 4. 9km and known mineralisation down to 500m.
• Adding to Shanta’s reputation in Tanzania – The construction and operation of this mine should bring about a major improvement in the socio-economic environment of the Ikungi community in Central Tanzania.”
