“Chama“ is a high sulphidation gold deposit (oxides and sulfides), to be exploited with an open pit mining operation, it is located 13 km north east of the Antabamba city, Apurímac region. Geologically the project is in a volcanic environment, with gold dissemination in a vuggy silica matrix. The estimate of ore resources measured + indicated + inferred is about 25.42Mt with ore grades of 0.447 gr/t of gold, 1.363gr/t of silver and 0.297%/t of Cooper. A blocks model has been developed and were calculated the ore reserves for the project, divided in proven + probable + possible, which report a total of 16.04Mt, with an average grade of 0.544 g / t of gold, 2.06g / t of silver and 0.26% of Cu, with a gold content of 280,532 ounces, and 1'062,309 Oz of silver equivalent to 15,935 Oz of gold. The exploitation method will be of open pit for 2Mt/year (5,600t/day), with an average gold grade of 0.54gr/t, and a stripping ratio of 0.16 / 1, ore treatment is anticipated, with an 80% recovery for gold and 25% for silver. It is expected an initial production of A production of 32,403 Oz Au / year, decreasing to 23,163 Oz Au in 6 th year to conclude with 30,059 Oz Au in the 8th year. The capital investment is based on similar projects, and supplier’s quotations, is considered an accuracy of ± 40%. Operating costs are considered within a precision range of +/- 30%. The average operating costs for a 2Mt/year open pit operation, the mining costs were calculated for at US $ 2.884/t, the heap leaching process in US$1.56/t and G&A in US $ 1.912/t, making a total of US $ 6.355/t, and the cost for ounce of gold of US $ 705.08. The initial investment amount is US$13.9 million (includes IGV and a contingency of US$831,800). The 28% of the total amount (US$3,000,000) will be covered by a 10% loan interest, and the difference US$ 10.9 million (72%), will be by own contribution. The economic analysis in the medium scenario, where the quotation of gold is US$1,000/oz., and a rate of 10%, indicates an economic NPV of US$28.85 Million and an economic IRR of 55.1%. The results for the financial analysis, developed for a scenario of 8 years considering the quotation of gold in US$1,000/oz and a profitability rate of 12%, at an average weighted capital cost of 10.93%, is obtained a financial NPV of $27,60million and a financial IRR 64.10% and a relation benefit cost 3.7, with a capital recovery of 2 years. The financial analysis was developed for a scenario of 8 years based on the production and price of gold at US $ 1,000/Oz and a silver price of US $ 15 /Oz. The period of capital recovery is 2 years, the project with sensitive variation of 15% of the level of the price of gold. The information from the various exploration campaigns has served as the basis for the realization of the present pre-feasibility study. The Full feasibility is in process and it is expected to be completed by November 2017.
