- Focus on de-risking the project, learning from past challenges, and avoiding previous mistakes.
- Completed 70,000 meters of extensive definition drilling to better understand the orebody.
- Moving into mine design and economic modeling phases.
- Pre-feasibility study (PFS) will provide economic projections based on real-time cost data from current site operations.
- Extensive technical work, including drilling, has significantly reduced project risk.
Conservative Production Strategy
- Careful, methodical restart strategy to ensure long-term success.
- Initial production will target a conservative 800 tons per day, rather than aiming for higher production levels.
- Focus on achieving stable production, generating cash flow, and refining operational processes.
- A measured approach reduces execution risk and allows for future growth.
Strong Financial Position
- WRLG acquired the Madsen project at an attractive valuation, minimizing capital requirements.
- Current infrastructure, including existing milling capacity, allows for a gradual, self-funded restart.
Significant Long-term Growth Potential
- While near-term production targets are modest, the Madsen property offers significant exploration upside.
- Major mining companies have expressed interest in the project due to its geological potential.
Upcoming Catalysts
- Pre-feasibility study (PFS) results will provide clarity on the project’s economic viability.
- Potential production restart decisions will serve as key milestones for investors.
Key Takeaways
- Near-term production potential: Clear path to gold production with modest initial targets.
- Risk-averse strategy: Focus on understanding the orebody and taking a careful, measured restart approach.
- Exploration upside: Long-term potential from underexplored areas of the Madsen property.
- Favorable market conditions: Current gold prices above $2,500 per ounce create a positive environment for project economics.
