Updated Scoping Study
The Board commissioned an independent technical consultant, 2M Mineral Services Limited, to prepare a revised Scoping Study on the Licence (the "2019 Report"), which includes a revision of the capital and operating costs and pricing assumptions that were presented in the URS/Scott Wilson 2011 scoping study report (the "2011 Report"). This revision has resulted in an estimated pre-tax net present value ("NPV") at a 10 per cent discount rate of US$1.05 billion; with projected annual revenues of US$323 million over a mine life of 30 years.
The project internal rate of return ("IRR") is expected to be approximately 25 per cent. The revised findings represent a near doubling of the previously reported equivalent NPV and an increase of 6.1 per cent in the project IRR. A summary of the key differences in scoping study outcomes between the 2011 Report and the 2019 Report is set out below.
