LA FORTUNA

 

La Fortuna is a high-grade gold, silver and copper mine in Durango, Mexico currently being moved toward a production decision by Minera Alamos. In a Preliminary Economic Assessment released in August 2018, Minera Alamos published a study that envisions an open pit milling operation that is expected to produce an average of 50Koz of gold-equivalent ounces over a 5-year mine life at an all-in sustaining cost of  $440/Oz. The study estimates an after-tax net present value at a 7.5% discount rate of $69.8M, an internal rate of return of 93% and an 11-month payback assuming $1,250/Oz of gold, $16/Oz of silver and $2.60/lb of copper. Minera Alamos has reported that it expects to receive permits in the second half of 2020, with construction expected to begin in 2022. Minera Alamos has found other major gold-bearing structures that exhibit a similar style of mineralization within the La Fortuna land package, most notably, the Ramada, PN Zone and Cerro Pelon. Minera Alamos has announced that it has procured major mill components and is currently negotiating a debt package for their 12-month construction phase.(1,2)
