Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. Welcomes Positive Developments at O’Brien Gold Project
Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. recognizes a significant advancement in the mining sector with the release of a favorable Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the O’Brien Gold Project by Radisson Mining Resources Inc. This assessment highlights that 22% of the initial production is subject to a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR), which will financially benefit Globex through its Kewagama Gold Mine claims. The PEA outlines an 11-year mine life, projecting a total extraction of 740,000 ounces of gold, with an anticipated recovery of 647,000 ounces, achieving an impressive average recovery rate of 87%. These results underscore the economic viability of the project and its potential to generate substantial revenue.
The production forecast indicates a steady output of 70,000 ounces per year during the second to eighth years of operation. This consistent production is expected to yield an average annual after-tax free cash flow of approximately $97 million, providing a robust financial outlook for the project. The resource estimates included in the PEA are based on recent drilling data from 2023, which has returned positive results, further validating the project's potential. Globex expresses its enthusiasm regarding this development, as it could significantly enhance revenues derived from the Kewagama Royalty, thereby reinforcing the company's financial position in the competitive mining landscape.
Moreover, the mineralized zones within the Kewagama claims exhibit substantial potential for expansion, with significant resources reported at Globex-owned adjacent properties. The current estimates reveal an Indicated Resource of 243,800 tonnes at a grade of 14.38 g/t Au and an Inferred Resource of 37,100 tonnes at a grade of 7.22 g/t Au. This promising data not only highlights the richness of the region but also aligns with Globex's long-term strategy of maximizing shareholder value through strategic partnerships and resource development.
In addition to the positive PEA from Radisson Mining, Globex Mining continues to focus on leveraging its mineral assets to create value. The company's commitment to pursuing new opportunities and enhancing existing projects positions it well for future growth in the mining industry. As the O’Brien Gold Project progresses, stakeholders remain optimistic about the potential financial benefits and the broader implications for Globex's operational strategy.
