Boab Metals Secures Funding for Sorby Hills Project: A Promising Investment Opportunity

Description

In a game-changing move, Boab Metals (ASX:BML) has locked in crucial funding for its Sorby Hills Project, a significant lead-silver resource nestled in Australia. This financial boost not only fortifies the company's position but also lessens its dependence on equity markets. It's a pivotal stride towards the project's Final Investment Decision (FID), which is on the horizon for late 2025.

  • FEED Study Results: The recent Front-End Engineering & Design (FEED) study unveiled some eye-catching figures:
    • C1 operating cost: A lean US$0.36 per pound of payable lead
    • Net Present Value (NPV8): A whopping AU$411 million
    • Internal Rate of Return (IRR): An impressive 37 percent
  • Strategic Acquisition: Boab is upping the ante, set to snag an extra 25 percent stake in Sorby Hills from its joint venture partner for AU$23 million, showcasing its faith in the project's potential.

10 Silver ETFs for Every Investing Style in 2025

Investors looking for exposure to the silver price and silver-mining companies should consider silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Spurred by moves in the gold market, safe haven buying as well as increasing demand from industrial sectors, silver saw strong price movements in the first half of 2025, breaching US$37 per ounce for the first time since 2011.
