From RRR's presentation on its gold assets....
In 2014, Red Rock commissioned a preliminary technical and economic assessment constituting the first stage of a feasibility study, concluding the viability of the 200koz Au deposit as a standalone open pit operation for generating short term cash flow utilising a modular gravity plant. The outcome of the study is summarised as follows:
Projected life of mine revenue from gold sales of US$95 million (at US$1,200/oz Au price)
Capital cost of US$3 million recoverable within first 6 months of operation
Production of approximately 80,000oz of gold over 9 years mine life
This option gives a pre-tax NPV (at 10% discount rate) of $8 million
That is one 200k oz asset out of the JORC of 1.2mil. The NAV was $8mil in 2014 with gold at $1,200. Gold is around $1,500 now: it is likely that the NPV10 calculation would be somewhere around $20mil.
Migori is a serious asset. I now expect RRR to progress the JV negotiations that it has referenced several times and proceed to monetise Migori.
