Highlights
Xanadu’s Executive Chairman & Managing Director, Colin Moorhead said, “After strong support from shareholders at the recent Xanadu Extraordinary General Meeting3, it is pleasing to now have PRC regulatory approval, clearing the final hurdle to launch our partnership with Zijin. We look forward to working with Zijin to add real value to Kharmagtai, which is already a globally significant copper-gold project. The team is ready to go with drill rigs in place and study work ready to start immediately. We expect to provide regular updates and news-flow through the next 18-month PFS period.”
Strategic Partnership
The strategic partnership4 includes three phases of investment. The first phase (Phase 1 Placement) was completed on 27 April 2022, raising A$5.56 million via a subscription by Zijin to 139 million fully paid ordinary shares in Xanadu at A$0.04 per share to provide Zijin with a 9.9% shareholding in the Company. The two subsequent phases (which were subject to further negotiation, entry into formal documentation and the remaining approvals above) include a second placement of ordinary shares at A$0.04 per share to increase Zijin’s total shareholding in the Company to 19.99% (Phase 2 Placement) and the creation of a 50/50 Joint Venture in Khuiten Metals Pte. Ltd., the entity currently 100% owned by Xanadu that holds a 76.5% effective interest in Kharmagtai (Phase 3 JV), for a cash investment of US$35 million.
Following the 18 month PFS, Xanadu has the option to fund its share of construction, sell it’s 50% of the Phase 3 JV to Zijin for US$50 million or sell half of its share of the Phase 3 JV (25%) to Zijin for US$25 million plus a loan carry for Xanadu’s remaining share of costs until commercial production.
PFS to Evaluate Upside in Scoping Study
The 2022 Scoping Study5 confirmed Kharmagtai as a potential world class, low cost, long life mine with an estimated 20% IRR (range 16-25%), US$630 million NPV @ 8% (range US$ 405-850 million) and 4-year payback (range 4-7 years) over 30 year mine life. This included first quartile all in sustaining costs and projected production ranges from 30-50ktpa copper and 50-110kozpa gold production during the first five years.
The Scoping Study outlined a conventional, low technical complexity open pit and process plant with low 0.9:1 strip ratio for the first five years. However, it also identified growth-focussed upside opportunities which could materially upgrade the economics of the project, all of which will be investigated during the PFS:
During the PFS, Xanadu and its partner Zijin will complete all major project trade-off decisions and refine capital and operating cost estimates to +/-15-25%, leading to selection of a single go-forward option for final engineering and construction. With the study and inclusion of upside opportunities above, Xanadu is targeting a real and sustained uplift relative to the Scoping Study economics.
