Project Description
An updated preliminary economic assessment (PEA) on the Foxtrot REE project has reconfirmed that the project has robust economics and the potential to become a profitable producer of REEs.
The PEA envisages a mine with a 1 000 t/d processing rate and a mine life of 14 years.
Total life-of-mine (LoM) production is estimated at 44 129 t of total rare-earth oxides (TREOS) or 3 300 t/y at peak production. LoM production includes 7.09-million kilograms of neodymium oxide and 836 000 kg of dysprosium.
Foxtrot has updated the mineral resource comprising 7.4-million tonnes in the indicated category at a grade of 1.09% TREO and inferred resources of two-million tonnes grading 1.17% TREO.
Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
The updated PEA has estimated a pretax net present value (NPV), at a 10% discount rate, of $93-million and a pretax internal rate of return (IRR) of 22.2%, with a payback of 3.5 years.
The estimated after-tax NPV, at a 10% discount rate, is $48-million, with an
after-tax IRR of 16.7%, and a payback of 4.4 years.
Value
The PEA estimates total capital costs at $231.7-million.
