Scoping Study<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on a proposed 1.2 Mtpa standalone mining and processing operation, the Scoping Study has demonstrated potentially strong financial metrics for the Cape Ray Gold Project (Table 1). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The preliminary economics indicate the Project has positive financial metrics over an initial mine life of 7 years with capital payback during the first 1.75 years of the Project\u2019s life.  This decreases to 1.5 years based on the current gold spot price of US$1,700. The first year of production includes a 6-month ramp up to full throughput capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Table 1 below provides an indication of the sensitivities on the Project\u2019s economics highlighting the NPV and IRR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
