Der kleine Kupfer-Junior-Wert Excelsior Mining (TSX-V:MIN) kommt groß letzte Woche raus und schießt sich nach der Vorlage einer überragenden PFS ins Rampenlicht der nordamerikanischen Junior-Branche - und ist damit nun auch sogar an der Bay-Street (ugs. "kanadische Wall Street") ein Thema.
Der Aktienkurs setzt nach der 'Company Maker' News zu einer epischen Rally an, welche den Wert am Freitag um knapp 360% (!) binnen eines Handels-Tages ansteigen lässt.
Der Rohstoff-Anleger war und ist bei diesem sensationellen Deal mit an Bord.
Im Hinblick auf die Marktkapitalisierung von gerade einmal rund 33 Mio. CAD (atm) und diesen herausragenden PFS-Daten sind ein sattes 'Gap Up' am heutigen Montag und eine weitere Rally zunächst nicht unwahrscheinlich. Ich rechne diese Woche zudem mit einer hohen Volatilität und dicken Umsätzen. Dazu kommen die positiven Einflüsse der VRIC, auf der Excelsior gewiss ein heißes Thema sein wird..
Excelsior Releases Positive Prefeasibility Study Demonstrating $1.24 Billion Pre-Tax NPV and 59.7% Pre-Tax IRR for the Gunnison Copper Project
January 17, 2014
Excelsior Mining Corp. (TSX-V: MIN) is pleased to announce the results of a comprehensive Prefeasibility Study (“PFS”) on the North Star Deposit of the Gunnison Copper Project, located in southern Arizona. The PFS was completed by M3 Engineering & Technology Corporation (“M3”) of Tucson, AZ and is effective as of January 13, 2014. The National Instrument (“NI”) 43-101 compliant Report (the “Report”) summarizing the results of the PFS will be filed on SEDAR and Excelsior’s website within 45 days of this news release. Results of the PFS disclosed in this press release are in USD and pre-tax (except where otherwise indicated).
Highlights of the North Star Gunnison Copper Project PFS “Acid Plant” option include:
>> Pre-tax Net Present Value (“NPV”) of $1.24 billion (after-tax $0.826 billion) at a 7.5% discount rate (using a copper price of $2.75/lb)
>> Pre-tax Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 59.7% (after-tax 44.7%)
>> Pre-tax payback period of 1.8 years (after-tax 2.4 years)
>> Initial estimated capital cost (excluding sustaining capital) of $284.74 million
>> Average life-of-mine operating costs of US$0.68 per pound
>> Other costs of $0.12 per pound, including Royalties of $0.029 per pound
>> Annual production rate of 110 million pounds of copper for the first 14 years, then declining for a 20 year mine life, with a total of 1.682 billion pounds of copper produced over the life of the mine.
“The completion of a positive Prefeasibility Study is a significant de-risking event in Excelsior’s development and we are very pleased with the results. The results surpass the robust economic potential indicated by the 2011 Preliminary Economic Assessment and support copper extraction of the North Star Deposit through in-situ recovery with the potential to generate exceptional financial returns,” says Mark J. Morabito, Chairman of Excelsior. “With initial production expected to commence in Q4 2016 we are looking forward to beginning the next phase of development.”
Commenting on the results, President and CEO, Stephen Twyerould said, “With the completion of this major milestone, the commercial case for the Gunnison Copper Project has grown even stronger. The Prefeasibility Study has confirmed the robust economics and technical viability for what has the potential to be one of the lowest cost copper producers in North America..”
