Core Insights - West Red Lake Gold Mines has released a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its Rowan project, indicating strong economic potential due to its high-grade, nearly vertical deposit characteristics [1][2][4]. Project Overview - The Rowan project is located 80 kilometers from the Madsen Mine and mill, with plans to utilize toll milling at existing mills in the Red Lake area to process its mineralization [1][2]. - The PEA highlights an average diluted head grade of 8.0 grams per tonne and an average annual gold production of 35,230 ounces over a 5-year mine life [4][5]. Economic Metrics - The post-tax Net Present Value (NPV) of the project is estimated at $239 million at a gold price of US$3,250 per ounce, with an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 81.7% [4][11]. - The all-in sustaining cost (AISC) is projected at US$1,408 per ounce, with a life of mine cash cost of US$963 per ounce [5][4]. Development Plans - The company plans to complete a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) by Q3 2026, with new legislation in Ontario aimed at expediting the mine approval process [6]. - There are significant opportunities for resource expansion at Rowan, with ongoing drilling campaigns targeting both depth and strike extensions of the mineralization [6][9]. Exploration Potential - Recent drilling has indicated high-grade gold mineralization, with notable intercepts such as 70.8 g/t gold over 8.3 meters, suggesting potential for further resource definition [9][8]. - The company aims to upgrade approximately 37% of the mine plan tonnes currently classified as inferred resources [11]. Operational Context - The Madsen Mill, with a nameplate capacity of 1,089 tonnes per day, is a potential processing site for Rowan's mineralization, which aligns with the company's toll milling strategy [3][2]. - The ramp-up operations at the Madsen Mine have begun, with consistent mining and milling rates reported [21].
