Visualized Outcome: NuLegacy: Red Hill - 3,300 tpd UG Goldrush Two
NuLegacy spent over $20 million from 2012 onwards trying to find high grade Carlin type zones in addition to the low grade oxide Iceberg zone. In late 2017 NUG brought former Barrick exploration people including Ed Cope, Mark Bradley and Charles Weakly on board in an effort to salvage the play. Their work developed the Rift Anticline hypothesis to the west of all the drilling activity, an area covered by younger basalts which has never been drilled because it was assumed the Lower Plate rocks prospective for Carlin type mineralization. The ex Barrick team which worked on Goldrush relogged all the core to the west and developed a stratigraphic model they were able to map CSAMT geophysical data. A CSAMT survey over the barren rocks to the west developed a structural model very similar in scale and nature to the Goldrush deposit to the northwest that Barrick is developing as an underground mine expected to produce 450,000 oz per year at an AISC of $665 per oz. Barrick completed a PFS for Goldrush but has never disclosed cost details. However, from the technical reports it has filed for the Cortz JV operation which includes UG mining refractory sulphides similar to those that define the Goldrush deposit (25.2 million tonnes of 10.6 g/y gold), which are trucked to the Goldstrike roaster for processing, it is possible to come up with likely costs. This OV imagines a clone of Goldrush One, what it would cost to develop and operate, and what it would be worth at the current gold price.

MSV (Market Cycle S Curve): Market Speculative Value represents the typical market pricing pattern of a new discovery as it moves through its exploration-development cycle. The irrational pricing behavior of the yellow channel contrasts with the fair speculative value of the blue channel as defined by the rational speculation model because during the pre-economic study stages there is great uncertainty about how big the discovery will turn out.

View Detailed Visualized Outcome (KRO Members Only)
Disclaimer: A visualized outcome is one of many possible outcomes for an exploration project as it moves through the 9 stages of the exploration-development cycle from grassroots to a producing mine with failure as an outcome at any point along the way. The range of possible outcomes for the physical nature of a deposit shrinks after delivery of an initial 43-101 resource estimate. While the nature of the deposit constrains the range of mining scenarios, the cost assumptions will vary as the project moves through the feasibility demonstration stages of the cycle, which affects the economic value of the final outcome. This economic value will also vary according to the prices of the metals targeted for extraction which may change during the years it takes for a project to become a mine. An outcome visualization is thus a compilation of best guess assumptions for the key variables that drive the discounted cash flow model, the basis for assigning an economic value to a mine. An OV is not intended as a prediction, but rather as a framework that allows the incorporation of new information generated by the exploration-development cycle for the project into a valuation model on an ongoing, dynamic basis.
