Comparing PEA metrics As we get ready for the PEA for CNC, I looked up some of the existing metric values in some of the other projects. I looked at FPX, Dumont, and Giga. I apologize that some of the values for GIGA are missing.
**Keep in mind that FPX’s numbers are based on $7.75/Lb, Dumont is based on $9/Lb, and GIGA is based on $7.50/Lb. So Dumont’s operational costs are more inflated compared to the others.
- NPV post tax: FPX 1.72B, DUM 950M.
- IRR after Tax: FPX 18.3%, DUM 15.4% DM, Gig approx 5%.
- Total CAPEX - FPX 1.67B, DM 1B, Gig 1.9B.
- AISC All in sustaining costs per pound of nickel. FPX $3.12, DUM $3.80.
- Cash Flows (Amount of revenue during life of mine). FPX 8.73B, DM6.03B, GIGA 17B.
- Mine life. FPX 35 years, DUM 30 years, GIGA 35 years).
