Thierry overview

The more I study this project the more I feel this is quite a gift Braveheart captured. I do feel the capital costs are higher than I would expect for a past producing mine, but then again, I am not a mining consultant. Below are the meatl prices used for the Thierry project. Currently we are well above all these prices and the mine is viable at the quoted prices.

50% higher copper
90% higher nickel
20% higher gold
100% higher palladium
10% lower Platinum.
Huge increases in pricing

From the Jan 2021 PEA....



1.11 ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
The metal prices used in this PEA are US$3.48/lb Cu, US$8.00/lb Ni, US$21/oz Ag,
US$1,600/oz Au, US$1,100/oz Pt and US$1,250/oz Pd. The Project was evaluated on an after-
tax cash flow basis which generates a net undiscounted cash flow estimated at $549.1 M.




21.1 CAPITAL COSTS
The total capital cost of the Theirry Project is estimated at approximately $710.5M. This is
composed of $407.0M in pre-production capital and $303.5M in sustaining capital. An
allowance for contingency of 5% has been included in these totals. A breakdown of this estimate
is provided in Table 21.1 and includes contingencies.

Obviously Braveheart can not raise 407 million without major share dilution, but a partner or royalty stream could.
No matter how you look at it, the market cap of Bravehart at about 25 million canadian is quite a value.

I have listened to a number of the CEO interviews and am very impressed with his dilligent approach. I feel share dilution is not his MO.

All just my opinions. Other opinions appreciated.

Capital costs were reduced from 407m to 322m in the latest updated PEA. Missed that. Its even better. RD

You beat me to that correction .      The old mine was built in the days before government interference . Now safety and environmental standards drive costs way up.  There are many km`s of underground develpoement already in place and hydro power . A big plus . A 3 compartment shaft and decline , that need to be upgraded , but are a big plus .    As for dilution  ...more

Good analysis Wayned, I agree with all your insight. As I have stated earlier, I really like the way the CEO is being very careful about NOT going into debt and developing the mines that he can now. Thierry is just an awesome gift, whether it was luck or planned doesnt matter. The resource is huge and if BHT stays out of big debt then BHT can run the show. I feel very lucky I found this one ...more

Hi reddog11  ,  a friend has pointed out to me that the PEA numbers are probably much better than I thought .   I re-read the report once again . In a long article like that it`s easy to miss the important parts . The restart will cost approx. $322 million but there will be cash flow in Q4 of the 2nd of 3 years of the restart . $322 is the 3 year price tag but take $180 million ...more

Hi Wayned, Yes, I missed that also. Reread the news release from April 4th. Here is the statement.. "The net initial capital required to restart the mine is estimated to be C$142 million (C$322 million minus C$180 million). The project has a payback of 3.1 years".  A few posts back I listed the OEA metal prices vs now and the difference is huge. I still love Ians take on how to ...more
