Bis auf die Annahme von etwas hohen Kupferpreisen in der PEA (siehe Kalkulationen) sind die ökonomischen Kennziffern eine Augenweide und bestätigen eine sehr hohe Profitabilität. Das Projekt wird in einem Joint-Venture zusammen mit dem kanadischen Rohstoffriesen Teck Resources (NYE:TCK) entwickelt.
Pilot Gold Announces Revised Preliminary Economic Assessment for Halilaga Copper-Gold Porphyry Project
Project Generates After-tax 43.1% IRR and US$474 Million NPV7% with Initial CAPEX of US$346 million
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan. 29, 2015) - Pilot Gold (TSX:PLG) ("Pilot Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of a new Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the Halilaga copper-gold porphyry project in northwestern Turkey ("Halilaga" or the "Project"). The revised PEA illustrates a robust, low strip, technically simple and scalable open-pit copper-gold project, utilizing conventional milling and flotation methods. It requires modest up-front capital, has a rapid payback, low cash costs, strong cash flows and generates strong after-tax IRR of 43.1% and an NPV7% of US$474 million. All dollar amounts in this release are stated in US currency.
PEA HIGHLIGHTS (after-tax, based on $1,200/oz gold, $2.90/lb copper):
- NPV7% of $474 million, 43.1% IRR and 1.3 year payback;
- Cumulative Free-Cash-Flow of $802.9 million;
- Copper cash cost of $1.08/lb (net of by-products);
- Mine plan of 25,000 TPD over 13.6 years with strip ratio of 1.3:1;
- LOM payable production of 780 million pounds copper and 924 thousand ounces gold;
- Pre-production capital costs of $346 million (including a 25% contingency of $65.4 million).
"We have designed the optimal project for the deposit in the context of today's capital markets. The revised project more than doubles the IRR and retains the same after-tax value as the 2012 study while substantially reducing overall capital costs," stated Matt Lennox-King, President and CEO of Pilot Gold. "The revised PEA leverages the established infrastructure in the district and the high grades at surface to drive rapid payback of capital, showcasing Halilaga as a standout project in the mid-size copper-gold development space.."
