The Pinos Project Preliminary Economic Assessment results indicate a 7 year Life of Mine with projected gold equivalent ounce production of 89,000 with an after-tax IRR of 25%.
Curtis Turner, President and CEO of Candelaria Mining stated: “I am pleased to announce the results of the Pinos PEA. The PEA shows that Pinos is a great small scale project with the ability to grow. We are encouraged, not only by the PEA, but with the exploration potential on the property. The project is fully permitted. We have already sourced much of the processing facility. Therefore, we have limited much of the risk associated with the start-up of most projects at a PEA stage. Developing the property as outlined in the PEA will allow us to commence with a low-capex project which will generate cash flows and to allow us to expand the operations, conduct further exploration work and continue to advance the other projects in our portfolio.
