Argonaut recently released a research report on Wia Gold, providing an updated mining scenario for Kokoseb, incorporating our recent drilling. “Argonaut’s updated mining inventory for Kokoseb totals 39Mt at a diluted head grade of 1.2g/t Au for a total of 1.49Moz. Kokoseb is still in the discovery drill out phase – we estimate a minimum 20-30% increase to this mining inventory based on unconstrained economic drill intercepts. Argonaut models a largescale open pit development scenario for Kokoseb with 172Koz/pa operation over an 8- year mine life with estimated production commencing mid-CY28. In the first five years of production, our mining inventory includes an average mined grade of 1.34g/t Au with a 6.2 strip ratio. This enables low ASIC of A$1409/oz and provides a short payback period on capital invested. Our base case assumes a 5Mtpa processing plant that maximises NPV and to utilise additional mining inventory as Kokoseb grows. We also model a 3Mtpa scenario which returns similar financial metrics but with lower pre-production capex estimates.” Read the full report here: https://bit.ly/48JJF9S #WIA #Gold #Africa #Exploration #ASX
