interesting i visited the align doc with the 2019 scoping study and checked there numbers as follows
Assumptions and estimates
2019 updated Scoping Study
Run of Mine production 47mtpa
Life of Mine 30 years
Mineral content split of the
final product
Ilmenite: 93.4%
Rutile: 1.8%
Zircon: 4.8%
Annual production Ilmenite: 1.245Mtpa
Rutile: 24,000tpa
Zircon: 65,000tpa
Ilmenite: 1.245Mtpa
Rutile: 24,000tpa
Zircon: 65,000tpa
Mineral prices
Ilmenite: US$173/t (NOW 300+?????)
Rutile: US$908/t (NOW 1200+???)
Zircon: US$1,320/t (NOW 1700+???)
Projected annual revenues US$323 million
Initial Capital Cost US$742 million
ROM mining costs 1.80/t n/a
IRR 24.9%
NPV (10) US$1,046 million
HOLLY ****.....NPV if its right (the mineral grades are there)might go up a bit...:-)
