@Drugo, if WMC was a 60koz producer right now, my guess is they'd need $35m with the next CR. However, WMC aren't anything close to being a 60koz producer right now as they're on target to be a 40koz - 45koz producer by the end of FY22.
IMO they need something in the range of $45m - $50m for the following reasons...
- Commercial production (i.e 8koz / month) has been delayed by (6) months from end of Jun'22 to end of Dec'22.
- Wiltails plant installation is still work-in-progress. Might be completed in Jul'22 if everything goes according to plan.
- Low ore grade being delivered to the mill (i.e. 2.7 g/t). Grade improvement (i.e. 3.5 g/t) might happen sometime during the second half of CY2022.
- Stage (1) has fallen well short of being fully funded with the proceeds of the US$42m Mercuria Loan.
- Unexpected (additional) costs associated with mine development & rehabilitation....or in the words of the Mar'22 quarterly (pg.7)....
- Production of 100koz - 120koz might be achieved in FY2024, but unlikely to happen in FY2023 due to delayed production ramp-up in FY2022.
@Drugo, if WMC was a 60koz producer right now, my guess is...
