Blackham is on track to become the only new significant gold producer (+100koz) in Australia during 2016. The DFS confirmed the Project’s robust economics and minimal initial capital requirement for a Project of this magnitude.
We were particularly pleased by the increase in the mine life to more than 7 years (previously 5 yrs) given there was less than 6 months between the PFS and DFS.
We see further upside in the mine life (TSI assumption - 9yrs or 945koz) from both open pit and underground sources, as well as the potential to improve the underground mine grade further (4.9 g/t DFS vs. 5.6g/t TSI vs. 9g/t historical production).
We have increased our valuation from $0.46 / share to $0.87 / share. The primary drivers of our revised valuation was increasing our mine life assumption (945koz au vs. 600koz previous) and gold price (A$1,655 vs. A$1,597). Operating costs, capital costs and metallurgical recoveries were in-line with our previous estimation.
