Deep-South Resources Inc. (TSXV:DSM) has launched its campaign on the Investing News Network’s resource channel.
Deep-South Resources is a mineral exploration company looking to advance its Haib copper project in Namibia towards production. In 2018, Deep-South Resources released a preliminary economic assessment( PEA) and a resource estimate for the project. The resource estimate report outlined an indicated resource of 456.9 million tonnes grading 0.31 percent copper and an inferred resource of 342.4 million tonnes grading 0.29 percent copper.
The PEA focused on four extraction options and offered numerous suggestions for improving the project’s economics. At a price of copper of US$ 2.65 per pound, the Haib has an after-tax IRR of 19.3 percent, an after-tax NPV (7.5 percent) of C$427.5 million and 55-year mine life for a throughput of 8.5 million tonnes per annum. At a throughput of 20 million tonnes per annum, the after-tax IRR is 23.7 percent, the after-tax NPV is C$782.6 million with a 24-year mine life. The PEA also suggested that a pre-feasibility study (PFS) should be completed on the project to help improve economics. Work on the PFS is currently underway along with metallurgical testing.
Deep-South Resources has also acquired a 75 percent interest in the Kapili Tepe copper-nickel–cobalt–gold project in Turkey. The property contains two IP anomalies that have the potential to host over 200 million tonnes of mineralization amongst multiple targets. Deep-South Resources is currently working towards completing a NI 43-101-complaint resource estimate for Kapili Tepe.
