Feasibility Study financial
"The Company recently completed a Feasibility Study for Panuco in November 2025"
A feasibility study is an assessment that evaluates whether a proposed project or idea is practical and likely to succeed before investing significant time and resources. It considers factors like costs, potential benefits, and challenges, helping stakeholders decide if moving forward makes sense. Think of it as a detailed plan that gauges if a new venture is worth pursuing.
after-tax NPV(5%) financial
"an after-tax NPV(5%) of US$1.8B"
IRR financial
"111% IRR and a 7-month payback"
IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is the annualized percentage return an investment is expected to produce based on its projected series of cash outflows and inflows; mathematically, it’s the rate that makes the present value of those cash flows balance to zero. Investors use IRR to compare and rank projects or investments—similar to comparing the interest rates on savings accounts—to judge which offers the best return for the time and risk involved.
payback financial
"111% IRR and a 7-month payback at US$35.50/oz Ag"
Payback is the time it takes for an investment or project to generate enough cash to recover the initial outlay—think of it as how long until the money you put in is paid back to you. Investors use payback to assess how quickly they get their capital back and how much short‑term risk they face; a faster payback reduces exposure to uncertainty but does not indicate total profit over the life of the investment.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Forward-looking statements in this release include"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
No Production Decision regulatory
"No Production Decision: The Company has not made a production decision for the Panuco Project."
