Golden Independence CEO Christos Doulis: Unlocking the Bigger Value of Independence Project in 2022

“We formed the joint venture and we now own 51 percent of the Independence project with a 10 percent operator fee as we advance it. And then the other big piece of news that we had was the PEA on the near-surface resource at Independence,” Doulis said.

“We outlined a nice little robust operation over a six year mine life with a net present value of around US$45 million using the current spot gold and silver prices.”

According to Doulis, the company aims to prove that the resource at the flagship property is considerably larger or even twice as big as the current 800,000 ounce estimate. The PEA envisions a 9,000 tonnes per day open-pit and heap-leach operation with a Merrill-Crowe circuit. Significant opportunities exist for improvement and optimization, including the potential for shared infrastructure with the adjacent Phoenix operating mine.

“The old Fortitude, which was mined out 30 years ago, about a mile to the east of us, was 2.3 million ounces at 7.5 grams,” Doulis shared. "And that was definitely a world-class deposit. We are hoping that the scoring that we have on our project has a similar profile. Somewhere in that same kind of order of magnitude and size, we certainly know it has the same kind of grade profile. That'll be the focus in 2022. We'll be exploring to see whether we can show that it's got real size to it."
