GORNO

Gorno has the potential to become a new globally significant zinc district with a long life of mine.

The company completed a Scoping Study in November 2021 which estimates an approximate total production target of 6.0 million tonnes containing 77% indicated and 23% inferred mineral resources at or above a cut-off grade of 3.5% zinc equivalent at an annual mining rate of 800,000 tonnes over the proposed nine-year Life of Mine. 

The study also identified a Post-Tax NPV of US$211m​, a Post-Tax IRR​ of 50%​, and Initial Capital Expenditure of US$114m​. Annual free cashflow is expected to average about US$67 million during the first 5 years of production.
