Robex Resources Inc./Nampala: Complete Feasibility Study Report Available on SEDAR

16.11.2011  |  Marketwire

QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 11/16/11 -- Robex Resources inc. (TSX VENTURE: RBX)(FRANKFURT: RB4) announces that the French version of the complete feasibility study report is now available on SEDAR and on Robex web site. An English version will be available soon. This feasibility study, for which a summary of the results were published in the press release dated November 8, demonstrates the economic viability of an open pit mine, with pre-tax net present value (NPV) of $113.6 million, discounted at 5%, and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 46.45% at $1,250 gold price per ounce (base case).


It is important to note that although the feasibility study is based on an amount of gold ounces totalling 345,418, the most recent calculation of the resource, published in the press release dated September 20, 2011, shows that the Nampala deposit presently contains 713,065 ounces Measured Indicated and 815,872 ounces Inferred. This substantial increase in the resource, combined with the fact that a southern expansion of the deposit is possible, suggests even greater performance for the Nampala mining project.


Highlights of the feasibility study are as follows (all currency in US dollars):



-- At $1,250 gold price per ounce (base case), pre-tax net present value
(NPV) of $113.6 million, discounted at 5%, and an internal rate of
return (IRR) of 46.45% (100% equity basis) and a two (2) year payback
period;


-- Using near-current spot price for gold of $1,600 per ounce, a pre-tax
NPV of $207.6 million, at 5% discount rate, and IRR of 73.70%;


-- Initial eight-year mine life at a mill throughput of 5,200 tonnes per
day utilizing conventional open-pit mining and a limited crushing-
grinding with CIL recovery of gold; after eight (8) years, depending on
market conditions, two (2) more years of processing low-grade stockpiled
ore;


-- Production average of 39,327 ounces per year (recoverable gold) for the
initial eight-year mine life;


-- At $1,250 gold price per ounce (base case), total estimated earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $206.3
million;


-- Average cash operating cost of $585 per ounce for the initial eight-year
mine life; ($640 average if low grade stockpile is processed in years 9
and 10);


-- Estimated low start-up capital of $52.9 million (excludes Owners Costs);


-- Average gold recovery rate of 88%;


-- Low strip ratio of 0.55:1;


-- Low rate of cyanide consumption;


-- Proven and probable open-pit reserves of 17.3 million tonnes at 0.70
grams per tonne gold for a total of 392,520 ounces of gold (345,418
ounces of recoverable gold at 88% average recovery rate);


-- Potential for future conversion of resources to reserves and further
resource growth.
