Northern Dynasty Minerals (T.NDM; Amex: NAK) received an updated 43-101 Preliminary Assessment on the Pebble copper-gold-molybdenum project in southwest Alaska. The independent report called it “one of the most important metal producers of the 21st century.” Three cases were outlined – 25, 45 and 78 years, with the 45-year “reference” case showing Pebble producing 31 billion pounds of copper, 30 million ounces of gold, 1.4 billion pounds of molybdenum, 140 million ounces of silver, 1.2 million kilograms of rhenium, and 907,000 ounces of palladium. This scenario yields a 14.2% pre-tax IRR, a 6.2-year payback on initial capital investment of $4.7 billion, and a $6.1 billion pre-tax NPV at a 7% discount rate. Northern Dynasty owns 50% of the project.
Here’s a good video of XL-er Ron Thiessen discussing Pebble and what they’re focusing on this year.
