LW - Just been looking back through now, i remember reading in one of the first presentations in 2021
https://www.coragold.com/wp-content/uploads/Cora-Gold-Corporate-Presentation-Q4-2020-Final-30.10.20.pdf
Whether this was the presentation from 2020, it states about financing/term sheet on page 13
"Conditional on completion of a positive DFS by the end of
2021
• Agreement signed with Lionhead Capital, acting as lead
investor and arranger on behalf of a consortium of investors"
But this was for the $20m term sheet, but with the success of drilling and further research, the company elected for a CIL plant with higher CAPEX but much better recovery rates. The board were able negotiate the new term sheet and extend the 2021 deadline into 2022, still conditional on a number of levels.
"completion of positive DFS" can probably amount to a number of factors,

This from the 8th September
"? 8 years mine life and production of 40,000 ozs/year, or equivalent production over a different time period and delivering the minimum IRR threshold, in a US$1,700/oz gold price pit shell
? Updated Mineral Resources Estimate on target for Q4 2021 and completed DFS targeted for H1 2022"
Mineral Resource estimate not only completed, but exceeded expectations for me increasing it by 200% and gold price $200-$300 above the value stated which is huge. I think 40,000 oz per annum for 8 years is more than achievable having spoken to BM myself, they're targeting around 50,000 oz + and with the Resource set to grow, the mine life should comfortably fall into double figures. This alone would generate yearly revenue of £74,000,000 on todays POG but we know these variables will often change. I can't see the AISC exceeding anywhere near $1000 too which would be a massive bonus
Plenty of scope down the years to increase this towards 100,000 oz per annum.
