Kalkaroo Project Peer Comparison (Undeveloped Australian Projects, Ore Reserves, PFS or FS)

Continuing my focus on undeveloped Australian copper peer comparisons with JORC Ore Reserves and a PFS or FS, I have used Havilah's flagship Kalkaroo project alongside KGL Resource Limited's (ASX: KGL) only project, the Jervois copper project.

The table below shows a copper peer comparison of Havilah's 18 June 2019 Kalkaroo copper-gold project PFS (revised for the Havilah 2 December 2020 ASX Media Release new LT metal prices) with the Jervois copper project PFS (KGL ASX announcement of 2 December 2020).

Notes:
The Jervois copper project is a high-grade deposit (9.4 Mt @ 2.41% Cu ore reserve) in the Northern Territory. During January 2021, the Jervois Mining Management Plan was approved by the Northern Territory government. The PFS assumes the concentrate will be transported by road to Alice Springs (a distance of 380 km) and then railed to Adelaide for export. Options of alternative exporting ports, including Darwin, will be investigated as part of a Feasibility Study.

KGL has no other JORC Mineral Resources or mineral deposits. It has a number of other exploration licences in the Northern Territory, some with mineral prospects.
