Message: NPV matrix

A little jet lagged so hard to sleep...played with the NPV numbers a little.

Using data from PEA we get the following:

Technical Parameters
Average Grade 3.14%
Cutoff Grade 0.60%
Reserve Level at Cutoff 45,200,000
Contained Value 1,418,000
Stripping Ratio 1.82
Ore Production Rate (t/d) 3,600
Mill Recovery 75%
Operating days/year 355
Mine Life (years) 20
Financial Parameters
Current Graphite Price ($/t) 7,500

Mine Operating Cost+G&A+Selling ($/t) 16
Mill Operating Cost ($/t) 10
Total Operating Cost ($/t) 26
Mine Capital Cost 150,000,000
Mill Capital Cost 180,000,000
Total Capital Cost 330,000,000
Working Capital 50,000,000
Real Risk-adjusted Discount Rate (%) 8%



Which gives us an NPV of 600K USD and IRR was 25%. That is with revenues starting in 2020.

Using 7000 ore production rate, 85% recovery gives us 66k t/y production and $9000 per ton revenue, NPV jumps to $2.9B USD. As anyone can see, every variable is a multiplier and has a drastic effect on NPV.


IRR was 51%.


I have set up the matrix to have every ton produced costs $2,067 which is above PEA#s which again was conservative IMO.


If anyone wants the spreadsheet to play around themselves, PM me.
