Definitive feasibility study (DFS) and project economics
DFS delivers a post-tax NPV of US $1.2B, IRR of 41%, and payback within 1.8 years, based on open pit mining at a gold price of US $3,600/oz.
Average production of 150,000oz/year for the first 10 years, with a 14-year mine life and a maiden probable ore reserve of 1.95Moz.
Initial capital requirement of US $475M includes US $50M for strategic water and power infrastructure to support future expansion.
Life of mine C1 cost is US $1,519/oz, all-in sustaining cost is US $1,696/oz, supporting strong margins.
At July spot gold price, post-tax NPV increases to US $1.6B and IRR to 49%; at US $4,500/oz, NPV rises to US $1.9B and IRR to 57%.
Mineral resource and exploration
Mineral resource estimate increased 29% to 3.78Moz Au, with 53% in the Indicated category.
Maiden underground inferred resource of 560,000oz at 2.2g/t Au, not included in current DFS economics.
Ongoing drilling below open pit and regional exploration expected to add ounces and extend mine life.
Exploration licences cover approximately 2,700 km² in a proven gold jurisdiction.
