Woulfe Mining was recognized as a TSX Venture 50® company in 2013. TSX Venture 50 is a trade-mark of TSX Inc. and is used under license.
The life of mine capital cost estimate for fixed plant items is US$60.2 million. This includes US$20 million for the processing plant, $19.4 million for the access decline, US$7.0 million for engineering, procurement, and construction management and US$4.3 million for sustaining capital. Project cash flows, expressed in millions of US dollars, are summarized below:
At an assumed gold price of US$1,600 per ounce, the Muguk project returns a substantial positive net cash flow. The undiscounted net pre-tax cash flow is US$68.6 million. The net discounted pre-tax cash flow, using a real pre-tax discount factor of 8%, is US$31.8 million. Payback of capital (in both discounted and undiscounted terms) is achieved during Year 6 of operation. The internal rate of return (IRR) is 22%. Woulfe cautions that the PEA is preliminary in nature. It is based on an inferred mineral resource. Inferred resources are based on limited information, and grade continuity has been assumed, but not verified. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resource that is the subject of the PEA will be converted into mineral reserve. No mineral reserves were estimated as part of the PEA. However, the positive outcome of the PEA does provide Woulfe with the incentive to continue to advance the Muguk project. Resource confirmation work on the Three Brothers Vein and exploration of the numerous smaller veins within the gold field are recommended. This work can most effectively be undertaken from underground drill sites. The report of the PEA in this release has been reviewed and approved in the form and context in which it appears by Woulfe's mining advisor, Mr Edward Gleeson MAusIMM (CP), BEng (Mining), of AMC Consultants Pty Ltd. Mr Gleeson has appropriate qualifications and sufficient relevant experience to qualify as a Qualified Person for the reporting of a PEA for the Three Brothers Vein of the Muguk Gold Mine. ________________________________________________ 1Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves, The JORC Code 2004 Edition, Effective December 2004, Prepared by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, Australian Institute of Geoscientists and Minerals Council of Australia (JORC).
