A Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) is a significant milestone for junior exploration companies, essentially it promotes them into a select group of “valued asset” owners in the mining industry. It is a third-party assessment of the economic viability of the project’s resource estimates which a company has completed to date and it is an outline of the steps to be taken to reach commercial production. read more

Cartier Delivers Positive PEA for Chimo Mine Project Post-Tax NPV5% of CAD$388M and 20.8% IRR

Long term gold price of US$1,750/oz, Exchange rate of CAD$1.00 = US$0.77 Post-tax NPV5% of CAD$388M and IRR of 20.8% Post-tax payback period of 2.9 years and mine life of 9.7 years Capex of CAD$341M Average all-in sustaining cost of US$755/oz Average annual production of 116,900 oz 4,500 tpd underground operation Average sorted grade of 4.55 g/t Au for mill feed Processing plant with capacity of 3,000 tpd and rate of recovery of 93.1% Sorting of mineralization increases the grade of material prior to milling operations and recovery rate and also reduces costs of mill construction, material handling, milling and restoration leading to a reduced environmental footprint of mine tailings and thus increasing the social acceptability of the project

Highlights :
  • The industrial sorting tests of mineralisation representative of the Chimo Mine project produced a concentrate representing by mass a bit more than 50 % of the original mass of the material with a percentage increase of 170 % of the gold content compared to the feed of the sorter;
  • The sorting tests carried out by Corem and by Steinert US are comparable and these result in positive conclusions which bode well for increasing the value of the resources with the mineralization sorting technology. The objective of the industrial sorting of the mineralization is to increase the grade of the preconcentrated material preceding the milling operations, which allows to:
    • Increase the recovery rate at the mill;
    • Reduce transport costs to the mill;
    • Reduce milling costs;
    • Reduce the costs of environmental restoration of mine tailings;
    • Reduce the environmental footprint of mine tailings and consequently increase the social acceptability of mining project.
