Doubleview Gold Corp. Announces Filing of Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report for the Hat Project
Rhea-AI Summary
Doubleview Gold Corp (OTCQB: DBLVF) filed a NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment for the 100%‑owned Hat polymetallic project on April 14, 2026. The PEA shows after-tax NPV(5%) of C$6.73B and IRR 23% at consensus prices (up to C$13.53B NPV/39% IRR at spot).
The 25-year, 120,000 tpd open-pit plan is underpinned by 609 Mt Measured+Indicated at 0.43% CuEq, producing ~67.6 kt Cu and 217 koz Au LOM average, with scandium and cobalt optionality; the PEA supports advancement to a PFS in 2026-2027.
Positive
- After-tax NPV(5%) up to C$13.53 billion at spot metal prices
- IRR up to 39% under spot-price scenario
- 609 Mt Measured+Indicated resource at 0.43% CuEq
- Multi-decade 25-year mine life at 120,000 tpd
- High first-decade output: ~74 kt Cu and 254 koz Au annually
Negative
- PEA includes inferred resources, which are geologically speculative and not reserves
- Economics sensitive to metal prices: NPV(5%) varies C$3.2B–C$10.2B at ±20% metal moves
- Project capex and opex exposures: IRRs fall though remain ≥16% with +20% CAPEX/OPEX

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 14, 2026) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed the independent National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report entitled "Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Hat Polymetallic Project, British Columbia, Canada" (the "Technical Report") on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and it can also be viewed on the Company's website at www.doubleview.ca. The Technical Report supports the positive Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") results for the Company's
The PEA demonstrates robust project economics for the Hat Project, including:
NPV:
- After-tax NPV(
5% ) of C$6.73 billion and IRR of23% at Consensus Metal Prices - After-tax NPV(
5% ) of C$13.53 billion and IRR of39% at Spot Metal Prices
NPV Including scandium and the associated processing circuit:
- After-tax NPV(
5% ) of C$7.27 billion and IRR of19% at Consensus Metal Prices - After-tax NPV(
5% ) of C$14.85 billion and IRR of32% at Spot Metal Prices
Three processing scenarios were evaluated-Scenario A1 (A1) a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flotation base case using current testwork recoveries1, Scenario A2 (A2), the same base case using expected recoveries1, and Scenario B (B), a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flowsheet with an added hydrometallurgical circuit and scandium recovery circuit, with results indicating the Project is financially attractive even without the scandium component.
Highlights:
Robust Project Economics: The PEA demonstrates a high-margin operation with an After-Tax NPV(
5% ) of C$4.96 billion (A1), C$6.73 billion (A2), or C$7.27 billion (B), and an IRR of19% (A1),23% (A2), or19% (B) at analyst consensus metal prices2. Using a spot-price scenario3, the Project delivers a compelling after-tax NPV(5% ) of C$11.05 billion (A1), C13.53 billion (A2), or C$14.85 billion (B) and an IRR of34% (A1),39% (A2), or32% (B).Sensitivity Highlight: Project economics show the greatest leverage to overall metal prices, with NPV (
5% ) ranging from C$3.2 billion to C$10.2 billion (IRR:14% -32% ) at ±20% on all metals; even under additional +20% CAPEX and +20% OPEX sensitivities, applied on top of a25% contingency already embedded in the base case, all scenarios deliver IRRs of16% or better, and Scenario B provides additional scandium oxide upside with NPV(5% ) of C$6.5 billion -C$8.1 billion (IRR:18% -20% ) at ±40% metal price.Scale and Longevity: The mine plan supports a multi-decade life of 25 years at a 120,000 tonnes-per-day processing rate, underpinned by a resource base of 609 Mt at
0.43% CuEq4 in the Measured and Indicated categories and 503 Mt at0.41% CuEq4 in the Inferred category.High-Output Production Profile B: Envisioned as a conventional large-scale open-pit operation, the Project is expected to produce an average of over 74 kt of copper, 254 koz of gold, 376 koz of silver and 2.7 kt of cobalt annually during the first 10 years, with life-of-mine (LOM) average production of 67.6 kt Cu, 217 koz Au, 348 koz Ag, 2.5 kt Co, and 128 tonnes of scandium oxide per year. (NOTE: based on publicly reported 2024 North American cobalt mine production of approximately 3,800-4,000 tonnes (Natural Resources Canada; U.S. Geological Survey), the projected cobalt output is estimated to represent approximately
69% of current regional mined supply).Strategic Importance for Critical Minerals: The Project is positioned as a primary North American source of copper, scandium, and cobalt. With approximately 2.42 billion pounds of copper, 80 million pounds of cobalt and 2,415 tonnes of scandium oxide contained5 in the Measured and Indicated categories, the Project represents an important discovery of critical minerals.
Stable, Supportive Jurisdiction: Located in a premier mining district in British Columbia, the Project benefits from a stable regulatory environment. The Company is committed to engaging with local First Nations in a respectful manner and to working toward positive and constructive relationships as the Project advances.
Catalyst for Development: The PEA serves as the technical foundation for an immediate transition into a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), providing a clear roadmap for early works and permitting activities in 2026 and 2027.
Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO of Doubleview Gold Corp., commented: "The filing of the full PEA Technical Report solidifies the robust economics outlined in March. With an after-tax NPV(
The Company cautions that the PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
