Kvanefjeld Feasibility Study Completed
Study Highlights
•
The Kvanefjeld resource (>1 billion tonnes, JORC-code 2012) will support an initial mine
life of 37 years and provide scope to both expand production and extend the life of the
mine significantly.
•
The Project will produce rare earth products, uranium oxide, zinc concentrate and fluorspar.
•
The total capital cost of the Project is $1,361M, comprising $1,121 M of project costs
(plant, utilities, indirect costs and contingency)
and US$240 M of associated infrastructure costs (power, port, village).
•
The cost of producing the primary product, a critical rare earth concentrate, is US$8.56/kg REO (after by-product credits) making Kvanefjeld one of the world’s lowest cost rare earth producers.
•
The Project has an after-tax net present value of US$1.4 Billion (at a discount rate of 8%)
and an internal rate of return of 21.8%
•
The forecast basket price for the Company’s critical rare earth concentrate is US$78.6/kg REO producing an operating margin of approximately US$70/kg.
•
The incremental cost of recovering the uranium from the high-grade mineral concentrate is less than US$6/lb U3O8, which will place Kvanefjeld into the bottom quartile of the cost curve for current uranium production
Greenland Minerals and Energy Positioned to Become
a Critical Rare Earth Producer of International Significance
Greenland Minerals and Energy Limited (‘GMEL’or'the Company’)is pleased to announce the completion of a Feasibility Study (the Study) into the development of the Kvanefjeld rare earth-uranium Project (the Project). The Project, located in southern Greenland, comprises several large
multi-element deposits rich in rare earth elements,uranium and zinc. Collectively, these deposits
represent one of the world’s largest identified mineral resources of rare earths and uranium.
