Cocktail napkin calcs...Between Black Horse as presently known and their 30% of Big Daddy, KWG has a pubic inch shy of 100 milluion tons of chromite at 35% give or take a weenie bit.
Looking back at the PEA that KWG commissioned on Big Daddy, there was a reasonable value assumption of USD$325 or CAD$400 per ton of ore. In Situ potential revenue would extrapolate to $40 Billion without any value-added processing using their patented DR to Ferrochrome process to produce higher value FeCr.
With CAPEX of USD$2Bn for the Electrification and transport as recently scoped out by Cormoront and RallVeyor,Plus another $400MM or so for putting the mine together underground, a pricetag of $3Bn looks doable, but for Schizhen Giggles let's gross that up to CAD$5BN to cover unforseen Justinflation. OPEX is likely to be around or less than CAD$100/ton - open to hearing other opinions and hoping to, but for this purpose, it's an opinion of a guesstimate.
At a 6 million ton per year run rate at CAD$400/ton, revenue could be in the vicinity of CAD$(do the math)Bn/tr with $300/ton after opex, or CAD$ $(do the math)Bn/year to amortize the CAPEX over a 16 year mine life.
Should Black Horse be proven to extend all or almost all the way up to Big Daddy, then the Tonnage may triple or quadruple, or more if the theory of Frank's Fault holds true and Black Horse winds up being the deeper underbelly of Black Thor.
Tell me what you think that's worth given minimal additional capex would be required.
What's the PV of $1.8BN/yr over 15 or 16 years?
Taking into consideration year 1 may in fact still be 6 or 8 years away?
What wouold the PV be, if Black Horse is found to extend significantly, and potential mine life extended indefinitely?
BTW... It's a big cocktail. ( ;^ )=))
