Not sure if anyone has reviewed the Thackaringa PFS that was released by COB this morning:
https://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20180704/pdf/43w8smpw7d82s8.pdf
Notes on my quick review of COB Pre-feasibility Study (68 pages):
Cobalt recovery assumed at 85.5%, lower than I was expecting.
CAPEX A$550 million (includes A$66 million contingency).
8% discount rate (pre-tax).
7.5% discount rate (post-tax) based on production target.
LT cobalt price US$32.87/lb.
LT FX rate A$/US$0.70
Plant throughput 5.25 Mtpa.
Post tax NPV A$544 million.
Post tax IRR 22%.
Project payback 4 years (simple).
Page 14 has NPV and other sensitivities.
Next target date for COB is 30 June 2019: BFS
HAV, AYR, CCZ, AUZ etc not directly named in the PFS, indirectly referred to on page 2.
Good write-up on elemental sulphur vs sulphuric acid on page 6.
Cheers
