Technical Study

Thesis Gold Files Pre-Feasibility Technical Report for the Lawyers-Ranch Gold-Silver Project

TAU · Price

Executive Summary

  • Thesis Gold filed its NI 43‑101 pre‑feasibility study (2025 PFS) for the wholly owned Lawyers‑Ranch project on SEDAR+.
  • The study reports strong economics: after‑tax IRR of 54.4% and NPV₅% of C$2.37 billion at US$2,900/oz Au and US$35/oz Ag, with a quick payback of ~1.1 years.
  • Highlights include a maiden mineral reserve of 76.16 Mt @ 0.97 g/t Au & 28 g/t Ag (AuEq 1.33 g/t), initial capex of $736.2 M, and average AISC of US$1,185/AuEq oz.

Key Details

  • Report filing: Pre‑feasibility Study (“2025 PFS”) filed on SEDAR+; technical report prepared by Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC et al., compliant with NI 43‑101.
  • Economic assumptions (base case): US$2,900/oz Au and US$35/oz Ag.
  • After‑tax results (base case):
  • IRR 54.4%
  • NPV₅% C$2.37 billion
  • Payback period ≈1.1 years
  • Upside scenario (US$4,100/oz Au & US$51/oz Ag):
  • After‑tax IRR 87.8%
  • NPV₅% C$4.36 billion
  • Production outlook:
  • First three years – average 266,000 AuEq oz/year (payable).
  • 15‑year LOM – average 187,000 AuEq oz/year.
  • Silver contributes ~23% of projected revenue.
  • Mineral reserve: 76.16 Mt containing 0.97 g/t Au and 28 g/t Ag (AuEq 1.33 g/t).
  • Capital expenditure: Estimated initial capex $736.2 M; after‑tax NPV₅%/capex ratio of 3.2:1 (excluding C$91.1 M pre‑production stockpile revenue).
  • All‑in Sustaining Cost (AISC): US$1,185 per AuEq oz (average over LOM).
  • Project upside: Potential for further engineering optimisation in a forthcoming Feasibility Study and untapped exploration potential across the project area.
  • Forward‑looking actions: Environmental Assessment underway; Feasibility Study planned for 2026 to de‑risk and advance the project.
