Reported in a Feasibility Study, the Certej project yields a positive return at US$650 /Oz gold and US$12 /Oz silver. Lower commodity prices represent a significant risk for the project and appropriate price mitigation should be put in place to ensure that capital repayments and operating margins are protected. The areas of cost opportunity should be investigated and confirmed as soon as possible.
