Measured and Indicated surface mineable coal resources total 132.0 million tonnes, with an additional Inferred resource of 0.5 million
tonnes. Not included for mining in the 2020 PEA are in-situ underground mineable resources totaling 145.7 million tonnes (Measured
and Indicated) and 118.7 million tonnes classified as Inferred
The 2020 PEA economic analysis is based on a conceptual open pit mine plan targeting 99 million run-of-mine ("ROM") tonnes of
resource at an overall stripping ratio of 10.5:1 (bank cubic metres (bcm): ROM tonnes), yielding 72 million tonnes of product coal over
a mine life of 27 years. The previous PEAs identified a smaller open pit with ROM tonnage of 56 million tonnes at a stripping ratio of
8.6:1, that yielded 39 million tonnes of product coal over 13 years.
Projected clean coal production from open pit mining operations ranges from 0.7 million tonnes per annum ("Mt/a") to 3.0 Mt/a,
averaging approximately 2.7 Mt/a.
■ Potential coal production is identified as hard coking coal similar to coking coal currently exported from northeast British Columbia.
■ The stand-alone open pit cash operating costs for the purchased equipment scenario are estimated at US$55.08 per tonne of
product coal at the mine gate. The cash operating costs for the leased equipment scenario are estimated at US$61.47 per tonne.
■ Estimated direct operating plus offsite costs for the purchased equipment scenario (i.e., FOB cost), total US$91.90 per clean
tonne (excluding production taxes and royalties). The FOB cost for the leased equipment scenario is estimated at US$98.29 per
clean tonne (excluding production taxes and royalties)
☐
Pre-production capital cost for the proposed mine in the purchased equipment scenario is estimated at US$510 million, with
additional sustaining capital of US$215 million over the life-of-mine (LOM). Pre-production capital cost in the leased equipment
scenario is estimated at US$303 million, with additional sustaining capital of US$42 million over the LOM.
■ The Huguenot Project's proposed payback of initial capital is estimated within four years from start-up of operations for both
scenarios.View entire presentation
