Pre-Feasibility Study - Highlights
Bosnian Pre-Feasibility Study
15 October 2020
- Post-tax net present value of US$ 1,040 million (8% discount rate)
- Internal Rate of Return of 113%
- Low upfront capital of US$ 173 million
- 1.2 years payback
- Average annual EBITDA of US$ 251 million in years 1-5
- 11.1 Mt of Probable Ore Reserves mined over a 14-year mine life, annual throughput of 800 kt
- 88.5% conversion of Indicated Resources to Ore Reserves at Rupice
- 45.3% of revenues from silver and gold
- The study relies on significantly more robust inputs over 2019 Scoping Study:
- 2020 Mineral Resource estimate with improved geological interpretation
- Metallurgical domaining of the orebody
- Low environmental impact with underground mining and partial tailings backfill at Rupice, and use of brownfield Veovaca mine site for majority of plant infrastructure
- Based on the positive outcome of the Pre-Feasibility Study, work is immediately commencing on the Definitive Feasibility Study
