Orezone is a mining exploration and development company focused on developing its flagship Bomboré Gold Project in Burkina Faso, West Africa. The company owns a 100% interest in Bomboré which is situated 85 kilometres east of the capital city, adjacent to an international highway.
Bomboré is the largest oxide resource in West Africa, with an April 2013 Measured and Indicated resource of 1.96 million ounces gold grading 0.91 grams per tonne. Its total Measured and Indicated resource equals 4.56 million ounces grading 1.01 grams per tonne, ranking it as one of the largest undeveloped gold projects in West Africa.
This weathered oxide material is softer and cheaper to mine and mill, and as it is near the surface, it has a lower strip ratio. In addition, it is chemically degraded and has higher recoveries and utilizes less reagents. With a multiple pit resource, it is easier to design a scaled down operation to reduce upfront capex, to design a mine plan to accelerate development of higher grade ounces and, once in production, to mitigate pit specific risks by shifting production from one pit to another to maintain a constant production rate.
Jennings Capital analyst Dan Hrushewsky stated, "The sensitivity of Orezone's target price to changes in gold price is one of the highest in our coverage universe - for a 10% gold price increase, Orezone's target price increases by 33%."
Additional assets include its Bondi Gold Exploration Project in Burkina Faso, with a Measured and Indicated resource of 282,000 ounces gold at 2.12 grams per tonne, and its Brighton Energy Uranium Exploration project in Niger.
The company also owns 11 million shares of Amara Mining, part of the proceeds from the sale of its Sega Project in 2012.
Orezone trades at $0.73, well below the $2.65 target price, and with 85.7 million shares outstanding the company is capitalized at $63 million.
