Technical Study Completed For The Goldfield Project
TORONTO Centerra Gold Inc. has completed a technical study of its Goldfield project in Nevada, which confirms attractive economics for the Project, including an after-tax net present value (5%) (NPV5%) of $245 million and an after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of 30%, using a long-term gold price of $2,500 per ounce and includes the impact of gold hedges on a portion of production in 2029 and 2030. Centerra is proceeding with the project and will immediately commence detailed engineering and early procurement activities for construction.
President and CEO, Paul Tomory, said, “We are pleased to be advancing with development and construction at the Goldfield project. Over the last several months, Centerra has undertaken additional technical work and project optimizations that have significantly enhanced Goldfield’s value proposition and have de-risked the project. Favourable gold prices combined with these recent developments have improved the Project’s economics, enabling us to move forward with execution. We believe Goldfield is well positioned to deliver strong returns. The project is expected to be funded from Centerra’s existing liquidity and is located in a top tier mining jurisdiction, with an approximate 7-year mine life, average annual gold production of around 100,000 ounces in peak production years at an all-in sustaining costNG (AISC) of approximately $1,392 per ounce, and a competitive initial capital cost of about $250 million. First production from Goldfield is expected by the end of 2028, which would grow Centerra’s near-term gold production profile, generate robust cash flow and deliver significant value to shareholders. We believe Goldfield to be ideally positioned in our project development pipeline, bringing gold production online as we continue to advance development of the longer-life Mount Milligan and Kemess gold-copper assets in British Columbia.”
