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
