Resouro Strategic Metals Inc. (RSGOF) Presentation: Delivering Robust PEA for Tiros Titanium and Rare Earth Project

RSM · Price

Executive Summary

  • Resouro Strategic Metals Inc. released a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its Tiros Titanium and Rare Earth Project in Minas Gerais, Brazil, detailing a phased development strategy beginning with a 500,000 tpa starter operation.
  • The base case highlights strong project economics, including a US$714.9 million post-tax NPV, 44.2% post-tax IRR, and a low upfront capital expenditure of US$191.1 million.
  • The project contains a globally significant 1.4 billion tonne Measured and Indicated resource with substantial expansion potential, with next steps focused on infill drilling, metallurgical testing, and progression to a Pre-Feasibility Study.

Key Details

  • PEA Base Case Highlights (500,000 tpa Starter Operation):
  • Post-tax NPV (8%): US$714.9 million
  • Post-tax IRR: 44.2%
  • Pre-tax NPV (8%): US$1,138.8 million
  • Pre-tax IRR: 62.7%
  • Upfront capital expenditure: US$191.1 million (gross, including contingency)
  • Mine life: 20 years
  • Post-tax life-of-mine cash flow: US$1,673.9 million
  • Average annual post-tax cash flow: US$70.0 million
  • Post-tax payback period: 1.9 years from first production
  • Processing rate: 500,000 tpa ROM ore
  • Steady-state annual TREO in product: 3,636 tonnes
  • Steady-state contained TiO2 in concentrate: 90,100 tonnes per year
  • Mineral Resource (Effective 9 April 2025):
  • Measured and Indicated: 1.4 Bt @ 12% TiO2 and 4,000 ppm TREO
  • High-grade domain (basis for starter operation): ~10 Mt, representing ~0.7% of total resource
  • High-grade domain specifics: 103 Mt @ 23% TiO2 and 9,100 ppm TREO
  • Inferred Resource: 500 Mt
  • Mining & Processing Methodology:
  • Mineralisation is near-surface weathered clay, amenable to free-digging open-pit mining
  • Conventional processing to produce coarse and fine TiO2 anatase concentrates plus a mixed rare-earth sulphate product
  • Project Setting & Next Steps:
  • Located in Minas Gerais, Brazil, within an established, mining-friendly jurisdiction
  • Planned next steps include infill drilling, metallurgical optimisation, product specification testwork, and progression to a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS)
  • Structured permitting pathway to be led by Sete Solucoes
  • Strategic Highlights: Strong economics, low-capital starter operation, expansion potential from large resource base, dual-product revenue opportunity (TiO2 + TREO), simple mining design, and clear development pathway.
