Polymetals Resources Ltd (ASX:POL) is gearing up for a profitable restart of the Endeavor Mine, located near Cobar in central New South Wales. The chairman, David Sproule, joins Proactive to discuss the exciting developments that have led to this decision.
Thanks to rising metal prices, the mine’s financial prospects have soared, with a 28% increase in pre-tax net present value (NPV), now at US$257 million, and an internal rate of return (IRR) reaching 120%. This remarkable growth in financial metrics is a clear indication of the positive impact of the current market conditions on the mine’s operations.
Sproule delves into the significant impact of strengthened lead, zinc, and silver prices on the mine’s economics. Of particular note is the price of silver, which has hit a decade-high above A$42.50 per ounce, propelling the mine’s near-term operations. The planned extraction of more than five million ounces of high-grade silver ore from the Upper Main Lode in the first three years is a testament to the mine’s potential for profitability in the current market.
Furthermore, Sproule covers the ongoing mine plan optimization, revealing new ore sources that could potentially boost the updated ore reserve. This strategic move demonstrates the company’s commitment to maximizing the mine’s potential and capitalizing on the favorable market conditions.
Additionally, Sproule sheds light on the upcoming announcement regarding the Environmental Rehabilitation Bond exchange solution, which is crucial for advancing the project’s financing and strategic partnerships. This development is a significant step forward in ensuring the sustainability and environmental responsibility of the mine’s operations.
Overall, these developments are shaping the future of the Endeavor Mine, setting the stage for a robust and profitable recommencement of operations. The positive outlook for the mine, fueled by rising metal prices and strategic planning, bodes well for its continued success in the industry.
