Mike Struthers, CEO of Luca Mining (TSX.V:LUCA – OTCQX:LUCMF – FSE:TSGA) joins me to discuss two significant milestones for the Company. As outlined in the June 28th news release, the Tahuehueto Gold Project in Durango, Mexico, has achieved a production capacity of 500 tonnes per day (“tpd”), on time and budget and the Company closed an oversubscribed private placement for $24,896,551.42.
We discuss the move to 500 tpd at Tahuehueto and the next step to 1,000 tpd by the end of the year. At 1,000 tpd the mine will have a net present value of USD $131.8m, an IRR of 65%, and will have an average all-in sustaining cost of USD $855/oz AuEq over the 10-year mine life. Mike provides an overview of what the key elements are to grow to 1,000 tpd and the expected costs.
