Turning Uganda on its head. They used [12%] discount rate (14% in the IMF doc). But we currently have ultra low interest rates for longer, and unconstrained monetary policy...
$575m is on average $23m for each year of production,
$23m in perpetuity at, say, 1% = $2.3bn
$23m in perpetuity at 12% = $192m
So we are >$2bn better off with the cash now in an ultra low interest rate environment. Using it to pay down debt must increase the horizon value more than the net asset historic cost..?
