The smelting, refining, transportation and marketing costs were estimated to be<br />

US$8,310 million. The LOM NSR revenue was determined to be US$24,930 million or<br />

US$17.21/t mined.<br />

LOM net revenue, determined as NSR revenue less royalties, was US$24,930 million<br />

or US$17.21/t mined.<br />

Unit operating costs for open pit mining, site services, G&A and mineralized material<br />

processing were applied to annual tonnages mined and milled, to determine the<br />

overall mine site operating cost which has been deducted from the net revenue to<br />

derive annual operating margin. The LOM operating cost is US$12,056 million or<br />

US$8.32/t mined.<br />

The LOM operating margin, net revenue less operating costs, was determined to be<br />

US$12,874 million or US$8.89/t mined.<br />

Pre-production capital and sustaining capital were considered in the year spent. The<br />

LOM pre-production capital, including a 25% contingency, consisting of expenditures<br />

for project execution, surface facilities and mine equipment was determined to be<br />

US$863 million or US$0.60/t mined for the 2012 through 2018 period. The LOM<br />

sustaining capital, including a 25% contingency, consisting of expenditures for major<br />

mine equipment, other mine equipment, support mine equipment and a TMF, was<br />

determined to be US$1,122 million or US$0.77/t mined for the period of 2019 through<br />

2054.<br />

The LOM closure cost, including a 25% contingency, was estimated at US$61 million<br />

or US$0.04/t mined and was applied equally in the period 2051 through 2054.<br />

Pre-tax cash flow or EBITDA, determined as net revenue less operating costs,<br />

capital and closure costs was estimated at US$10,828 million. The <strong>Project</strong> has:<br />

• a pre-tax NPV of US$2.4 billion at a discount rate of 8%<br />

• an IRR of 32%<br />

• a payback period of 4.88 years.<br />

A summary of the <strong>Project</strong>’s inputs, and estimated costs and financial results are<br />

presented in Table 22.4.<br />
