GGG: Kvanefjeld Feasibility Study
 
  • The Kvanefjeld resource (>1 billion tonnes, JORC-code 2012) will support an initial mine life of 37 years and provide scope to both expand production and extend the life of the mine significantly.
  • The Project will produce rare earth products, uranium oxide, zinc concentrate and fluorspar.
  • The capital cost of the Project is $1,361M, comprising $1,121 M of project costs (plant, utilities, indirect costs and contingency) and US$240 M of associated infrastructure costs (power, port, village).
  • The cost of producing the primary product, a critical rare earth concentrate, is US$8.56/kg REO (after by-product credits) making Kvanefjeld one of the world's lowest cost rare earth producers.
  • The Project has an after tax net present value of US$1.4 Billion (at a discount rate of 8%) and an internal rate of return of 21.8%
  • The forecast basket price for the Company's critical rare earth concentrate is US$78.6/kg REO producing an operating margin of approximately US$70/kg.
  • The incremental cost of recovering the uranium from the high-grade mineral concentrate is less than US$6/lb U3O8, which will place Kvanefjeld into the bottom quartile of the cost curve for current uranium production
