The first of these was an update to the 2019 Preliminary Feasibility Study, highlighting significant increases in the key financial parameters of the Project, an increase in overall lithium production, and further enhancements to the ESG credentials. The 2022 PFS Update shows an NPV8 of US$1.938B (post tax); an up-front capital cost of US$644M; and an increase in the overall annual production of battery-grade lithium hydroxide to 29,386 tpa. In addition, the post-tax IRR has increased to 36.3% (refer to the Company's ASX release dated 19 January 2022) ( PFS Update delivers outstanding results ).
The quarter was marked by continued strong progress by the Company towards finalisation of the Definitive Feasibility Study (" DFS ") together with ongoing discussions with potential offtakers for the products of the Project. From a macro perspective, prices for the Project's two key products, lithium hydroxide and tin, continued to increase significantly with lithium hydroxide prices exceeding USD 70,000/tonne and tin exceeding USD45,000/tonne during the period. These prices compare very favourably to the prices that were used in the 2022 PFS Update being USD17,000 for lithium hydroxide and USD24,000 for tin.
At the current lithium price has a 7bn+ NPV - 123mil mcap and at a $40,000 lithium price will be generating 500mil+ Profit per annum from mid 2024
123 mil mcap - will have a 1.23bn mcap in 2024 - European battery alliance has agreed that Europe will Not be able to meet net 0 by 2030 without EMHs mine coming online, they have a 500bn green budget and EMH will likely benfit for the grants in negotionations but also have multiple paths to recieving funding, including it 51% 12bn major partner - its the largest lithium mine in all of the EU - the current price is a bargin while the Ukraine situation effects European miners
