Southern Silver announced an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its Cerro Las Minitas project, highlighting a robust after-tax NPV5% of $501M and an IRR of 21.2%, with a payback period of 48 months. Increased metal prices could boost NPV5% to $876M and IRR to 30.1%.
The project spans a 17-year mine life with annual plant feed averaging 14.3 Moz AgEq, leading to gross revenues of $4.47B. Initial CapEx is estimated at $388M. The mine is located in southeast Durango, Mexico, a favorable mining jurisdiction.
Compared to the 2022 model, production, capacity, and revenue have increased by 20%, 18%, and 17% respectively. The project sees improved mine life, production schedules, and cost optimizations. The mine will use a longhole stoping method and conventional sulphide flotation for processing.
PEA assumes base metal prices of Ag $23/oz, Au $1850/oz, Cu $4.00/lb, Pb $1.00/lb, and Zn $1.25/lb. The study is preliminary, with potential risks from mining, environmental, and financial factors.
