An early morning walk and coffee to kick off the day!

A full moon was looking down on Elwood beach this morning, the second full moon of the month!

There’s a certain buz in the air with Spring just around the corner.

We made it through yet another gruelling winter!

  • Chalice Mining shares tumbled 25% yesterday in a bruising response to the scoping study for its Gonneville nickel, copper and PGE discovery
  • Mine, to be constructed by 2029, could churn through 30Mt of ore a year on farmland near Perth
  • PGE expert suggests mine will stack up if Chalices take the high grade route

It was the catalyst for a 25% cratering in the shares of one of Australia’s hottest exploration plays, but Chalice Mining (ASX:CHN) managing director Alex Dorsch insists the company’s initial scoping study on its famous Julimar nickel, copper and platinum group elements discovery is a ‘robust’ launching pad for what will be a multi-billion dollar development.

Located just 70km northeast of Perth on Chalice-owned farmland adjoining the Julimar State Forest, the question marks over Julimar and its 1.9km long Gonneville deposit have until now been around Chalice’s social licence and ESG outlook.

But doubts could well be shifting to economics, with analysts querying Dorsch on a call yesterday about price assumptions for its key commodities that run well above current spot levels and the discount rate used in a study which suggests the project will generate as much as $9.9 billion of free cash over its life.

The numbers for the Tim Goyder backed developer are thus.

Chalice plans to mine an open pit and build a two-step processing plant costing between $1.6-2.3b to execute what will turn either 15Mt or 30Mt of ore a year into 280,000t of palladium, platinum and gold (3E), 9000t of nickel, 10,000t of copper and 800t of cobalt or, at the higher level, 470,000tpa of 3E, 16,000t nickel, 16,000t copper and 1400t of cobalt.

The whole thing would generate free cash of between $6.6-9.9b post tax with an IRR of 26% at a discount rate of 6.5%, with payback in two years.
