By GlobalDataThe funds raised from the issuance of flow-through shares by the company will be allocated to Canadian exploration expenses. These expenses are specifically related to the New Polaris project.
Proceeds from non-flow-through shares will be utilised for the company’s working capital.
In July, Canagold’s feasibility study for the New Polaris project revealed an after-tax net present value (NPV) of C$425m and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 30.9%, based on a gold price assumption of $2,500/oz.
Should the gold price reach $3,300/oz, the NPV would increase to C$793m, with the IRR climbing to 47.3%.
The study estimates the initial capital expenditure for the project at C$250m. It also forecasts that the life-of-mine after-tax free cash flow could reach C$649m at a gold price of $2,500, rising to C$1.1bn if the price were to increase to $3,300.
The New Polaris project is expected to yield 805,589oz of gold over its 8.3-year lifespan, with an average diluted grade of 9.94 grams per tonne from the high-grade underground mine.
