Perhaps the spreadsheet below can give you some assurance that there is going to be enough money to pay for the loan repayment. Obviously, I will say again that this is just feasibility study and is highly dependent on actual figures. But I had been conservative in the figures.
Key assumptions: 1) Gold price stays at A$2,364. This is my very conservative figure because I project that GP will hit US$2,200 by end of the calendar year. 2) The production volume stays at 27,500oz. Neutral in conservatism. 3) AISC Cost is neutral perhaps may be a bit on the low side.
Below is the re-jigged AISC to show what is the impact if AISC is increased to $1,650. The two quarters will be about breakeven. The shortfall of perhaps $1.5M can be covered by the current Cash and Gold on hand of $28.3M. AND (drum beat please) DCN is debt free!!!! As you may note, there is $20M of development capital and exploration costed into the spreadsheet. Now if LJ feels money is a bit tight, he can always spend less i.e. light up the front loading of this expenditure and then back loading in the second half of FY22. He is a smart cookie and will know how to jiggle the finance to meet the loan repayment.
