RE: Global productivity and gold...not to mention sustainable yield>5%31 May 2021 08:47
For me the Doropo news is fantastic. Another 200,000 ounces to add annually without the huge royalty payments. This project alone could nearly double CEY profits...also if they don't decide to proceed with it then they could sell it for a nice tidy sum. Either way CEY earns $$.
highlights
· The Doropo Project shows strong development potential with the completion of a positive preliminary economic assessment ("PEA"):
· US$234 million post-tax net present value ("NPV5%") with a 21% internal rate of return ("IRR") at US$1,450/oz gold price
· US$487 million NPV5% with a 33% IRR at consensus gold price per ounce of US$1,829/oz ("consensus")
· Total development capital expenditure ("CAPEX") of US$275 million, including a 15% contingency
· 13 year life of mine ("LOM") based on the updated mineral resource estimate of 0.16 million ounces (Measured and Indicated) and 5.21 million ounces (Inferred) of gold, with potential to further increase gold resources across the permits
· Average annual gold production of 207,800 ounces for the first five years, averaging 150,956 ounces over the LOM, for a total of 2.0 million ounces produced at an average AISC of US$904/oz
