CUU own 25% Schaft Creek: proven/probable min. reserves/940.8m tonnes = 0.27% copper, 0.19 g/t gold, 0.018% moly and 1.72 g/t silver containing: 5.6b lbs copper, 5.8m ounces gold, 363.5m lbs moly and 51.7m ounces silver; (Recoverable CuEq 0.46%)
Here's the estimate I came up with using the sensitivity charts from the 2013 FS and metal prices from Teck/RE. The charts are pretax so I scaled them using the 2013 differences for the post tax. I don't know why the 2013 post tax NPV(8%) was so low. I gave them a 5% bump on the opex and capex just because all of the work Teck did for the last 7 years should have improved something. Whatever they get in the 2021 PEA will have to impress a buyer enough to bid. CUU also needs to have a discussion with Teck about what they can say about the development plan for SC, which is still a mystery. If they used higher metal prices the results obviously be better. I did some rounding and eyeballed the numbers from the charts but if anyone catches a major mistake let me know. Just did it to see if I could get close to their numbers
