Elk Gold Project PEA Summary
The PEA contemplates an initial 19,000 ounce per year mine that ramps up to 65,000 ounces of annual production by Year 4. The pre and post tax NPV (5% discount) are $395M and $231M, respectively. The PEA contemplates that for the life of mine, the mineralized material from the Elk Gold Project will be mined by the Company’s contract mining partner, Nwhelmen-Lake LP (“Nwhelmen-Lake”) and then delivered to New Gold’s New Afton Mine located approximately 130km from the Elk Gold Project (the “New Afton Mine”).
