8 Sep, 2026Project Background and Resource Development
Black Pine project in Idaho has an indicated resource of just under 5 million gold ounces and nearly 1 million inferred ounces after extensive drilling and studies.
Approximately $100 million invested to date, equating to $17 per feasibility-level resource ounce.
Non-core assets were divested to focus on Black Pine, with in-house capabilities expanded for project development.
The project benefits from strong infrastructure, favorable geology, and a supportive mining jurisdiction, with direct highway access, grid power, and water rights.
Feasibility Study Highlights
Feasibility-level mineral reserve estimate stands at 4.04 million gold ounces (433.3 million tonnes at 0.29 g/t Au), with a 16-year mine life.
Average annual payable gold production projected at 202,000 oz for the first five years, with a peak of 277,400 oz in year five and 294,600 oz in year 13.
Initial capital requirement is $411.4 million, supporting a large-scale, low-complexity heap leach operation.
Life of mine all-in sustaining cost (AISC) is $1,566/oz Au, with life-of-mine cash costs of $1,388/oz Au.
Project demonstrates strong economics across gold prices, with after-tax NPV5 of $2.4 billion and 60.5% IRR at $3,250/oz Au, and NPV-to-initial capital ratio of 5.8.
Operational and Production Profile
Life of mine strip ratio is low at 1.34:1, with average throughput of 74,200 tons per day.
Over 16 years, the mine is expected to process 433 million tons of ore and deliver just over 2.8 million payable ounces.
Production profile improved from the PFS, with higher early-year output and a 30% increase in total payable gold over mine life.
Processing will use run-of-mine heap leaching with no crushing or agglomeration, targeting an overall gold recovery of 70.2%.
Key changes include increased mining rate, reduced stockpiling, and earlier mining of the Rangefront pit.
