Timeframe to production16 Jan 2020 17:16
LoM is very poor today . This needs to be much higher nearer to make a decent return here .
I picked this from another investing website , an experienced gold investor
“ This is only an initial study based on Inferred resources. They state that they have lots more work to do before they undertake a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).
The resource needs extensive drilling in order to move it up into Indicated and Measured categories - and they state that their drilling is ongoing.
Once they have results from a PFS (say 12-18 months time), assuming it is positive, they must then undertake a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) which will flesh out all costings and CAPEX requirements and raise parts of the resource to Reserve status (ie those parts of the resource that are economically mineable). That will probably be achieved by c. 2024'ish.
Then of course, that BFS can be used to raise pre-production CAPEX funding and finally start the development phase of the project (say c. 24 months on).
Put it all together and you can see that this project area will probably take until 2026 before any actual production can occur.”
