Decrease debt over next 2 years?If they really do manage to heap leach over 250 days successfully the fcf over next 2 years (pog $1,300) looks something like this:
2019....$120mil (400k ozs X $300/oz)
2020....$267.5mil (535k ozs X $350/oz)
That is getting close to $400mil of cash they could use by the time the debt is due for renewal at end of 2020.
The resumption of heap leaching is great news. Not spending $500mil on the mill is even better news IMO.
If they can find a way of making the lower grade ore profitable to process, then Kisladag will be in play beyond 2020.
