St. Barbara Corporate Events
St Barbara has completed a Pre-Feasibility Study for its 15-Mile Processing Hub Project in Nova Scotia, confirming a capital-efficient, long-life gold operation built around a central processing hub at 15-Mile fed by satellite open pits at Beaver Dam and Cochrane Hill. The study outlines average annual production of about 103,000 ounces over more than 11 years based solely on existing reserves, with forecast life-of-mine all-in sustaining costs of US$1,188 per ounce and initial capital of roughly C$283 million, supported by the reuse of Touquoy processing plant equipment. Project economics are described as outstanding, with strong post-tax NPV and IRR metrics under the gold price assumptions provided, and St Barbara plans to fund development largely from cash flows from the New Simberi Gold Project and the proposed Touquoy restart. The design incorporates substantial reductions in surface disturbance and avoidance of wetlands and watercourses compared with earlier concepts, reflecting feedback from regulators, First Nations and local communities, and the company notes that the work coincides with a more supportive permitting environment in Nova Scotia as it advances toward environmental and social impact assessments and a full feasibility study.
