Sighs heavily... here we go again. Project Finance 101
The "$50M = 55%, so 45% = $40M" logic falls apart because it assumes fixed inputs. But the 45% portion isn’t a static number. It flexes based on gold price, AISC, tolling costs, and early revenue performance, all of which change over time.
WWI Project Funding Scenarios
(All figures in USD millions)
Surely you can now see how the number behind the 45% moves depending on inputs, especially across a multi-year funding structure.
That’s your answer.
The $50M debt package is structured to cover peak drawdown and includes interest, buffers, and lender contingencies. The remaining 45% stretches over time and adjusts to actual site performance. It's not needed all at once. And it’s not locked to a single number.
It’s not a riddle. It’s called project finance.
