Name and Location
Yaoure gold project, Côte d’Ivoire.
Client
Amara Mining.
Project Description
An optimised prefeasibility study (PFS) has confirmed a compelling gold development project in the current capital-constrained market.
Based on the updated mineral reserve estimate announced in January, the study delivers an increased head grade, a reduced upfront capital cost
and robust economics at a conservative gold price.
The optimised PFS is based on a smaller 4.5-million-tonne-a-year processing plant, with production for years one to five estimated at 248 000 oz/y and average production at 203 000 oz/y over a 15-year life-of-mine from a single openpit containing 3.2-million ounces.
Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
The optimised PFS estimates a post-tax net present value (NPV), at an 8% discount rate, of $555-million and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 38% at
a gold price of $1 200/oz.
A post-tax NPV, at an 8% discount rate, of $281-million and an IRR of 25% are estimated, at a gold price of $1 000/oz.
Value
The optimised PFS estimates an upfront capital cost of $334-million, including a $44-million contingency and $60-million for an owner-operated mining fleet.
