The recent mining plan 26th October gave some figures based on a low POG price of $1700 , this is your best starting point although I suspect AISC will be higher gven loans etc over the last few months (assume $1500 as a finger in the air)
· Independent Technical report providing 36 month mine plan for Kilimapesa Hill deposit;
· 49,155oz forecast production;
· AISC US $1,055 per oz;
· Gross Revenue + US $83.5m;
· Total Free Cash + US $31.7m;
· Gold Price US $1.700 per oz.
The Phase 1 mining plan has 2,427,279t of ore mined over the 36 month period at an average grade of 1.06g/t. 529,756t at an average grade of 1.8g/t are processed through the Milling/CIL plant with 1,897,524t at an average grade of 0.86g/t processed by the Heap Leach plant. The plan assumes a 75% recovery by the Milling/CIL plant for 23,002oz recovered and a 50% recovery through the Heap Leach plant for a total of 26,153oz recovered. Combined Milling/CIL and Heap Leach production over the 36 months is 49,155oz.
The current capital cost to complete the Kilimapesa expansion project is approximately US $10.5m based on the results from the Phase 1 work. A reduction in the capital is expected and this plan will now be costed and an updated capital cost for the expansion project calculated and announced.
This capital cost, along with the revised operating costs, will be used to update the financial model and agree the terms of the
