The project acquisition joint venture between Commissioners Gold and Australia Gold Corporation Limited (ACN 146 769 217) (based in Lima, Peru) has been operating since July 2012 and has produced a pool of projects which meet the JV objectives of early cash flow, scalability and modest entry cost. A number of those projects have been agreed in principle pending project financing or are at an advanced stage of negotiation.

In terms of moving into a production and cash flow position, the JV is focussing on getting an existing small gold processing plant into full operation to reprocess a nearby old mine tailings field which contains significant recoverable gold. Based on current scheduling, this plant and tailings reprocessing project is expected to be producing gold-loaded carbon for sale by the end of 2012.

The JV is currently progressing a number of other advanced projects into the final investment decision stage.

Mollehuaca - Santa Rosa Project

The Mollehuaca–Santa Rosa Project combines two separate but symbiotic sub-projects. The Mollehuaca (pronounced “Maywaca”) Plant is an existing carbon-in-leach (CIL) processing plant located in southern Peru. At Santa Rosa, tailings produced during gold mining activities more than 50 years ago contain significant recoverable gold. These fine grained tailings will be trucked to nearby Mollehuaca for processing and underpin upgrades to the plant.

This is a relatively small project, however will deliver gold production and positive cash flow in a short period of time.

The Mollehuaca Plant is an existing small cyanide CIL gold processing plant which presently processes third-party ore on a toll treatment basis, and will be upgraded to a capacity of about 80 tonnes per day of virgin ore and about 160 tonnes per day capacity for reprocessed tailings.

Since the late 1990s, gold resources contained in the Santa Rosa tailings have been assessed during a number of studies into the feasibility of recovering gold.

Between 1925 and 1968, mining operations targeted high grade gold mineralisation hosted by quartz-sulphide veins. Waste from the processing of high grade ore was deposited in a valley-fill tailings field, the Santa Rosa tailings. Total tailings deposited during the life of mining operations is estimated to be in excess of 800,000 tonnes with an average residual gold grade of between 4.0 and 7.8 g/t gold.

Due to the fact that the tailings occupy a steep ravine, estimates for the total volume of tailings at Santa Rosa vary considerably. More reliable estimates range from a minimum of 400,000 tonnes to a maximum of 824,249 tonnes, the latter by an independent surveying company based in Lima. A conservative volume of 300,000 tonnes has been assumed by the Peru JV for production forecasting and economic modelling.

The residual gold grade of the tailings has been the subject of multiple campaigns. Since the late 1990s, 722 samples totalling 3.46 tonnes of material have been analysed for a bulk average grade of 6.65 g/t gold. A more conservative average grade of 5.4 g/t gold has been used by the Peru JV for modelling purposes.

Studies conducted by previous operators since the late 1990s have identified significant recoverable residual gold in these tailings.

Metallogenic studies completed in 2003 by CH Plenge, a reputable Peruvian laboratory, on a 200 tonne bulk sample returned very good results in agitated cyanide leach tests. Results show increasing gold recoveries of 81.45% in 15 minutes, 91.82% in 2 hours and 93.5% in 6 hours of leach time.

Analysis of particle size distribution of Santa Rosa tailings shows that more than 48% of the material is in the minus 325 mesh size (<45 microns or <0.045 mm). Importantly, the highest grade of gold is contained within this particle size fraction. The fine grained nature of these tailings make them well suited to agitated cyanide leach recovery of gold with very short leach times (<6 hours).

Commissioners Gold intends to acquire 25% equity in Goldsmith Resources SAC, operator of the Mollehuaca-Santa Rosa Project, by funding US$400,000 in two separate tranches. Additional capital required for the project will come from third-party investors via our joint venture partner Australia Gold Corporation Limited.

Economic modelling shows that the project has great potential to be a small cash earner, with CGU‟s portion forecast to generate around US$700,000 per annum over the next 10 years (post Peruvian tax).

The project is forecast to produce 9,723 ounces of gold in the first year of production at an operating cost of approximately $401 per ounce.

Equity CAPEX or Internal Rate of Net Present Value
Investment Return (IRR) (NPV)
Total Project 100% $1,700,000 164% $16,860,927
CGU Investment 25% $400,000 175% $4,237,959

Table 1: Mollehuaca-Santa Rosa investment assessment

Notes to Table 1 : The term of the project is 10 years. NPV is calculated at a 10% discount rate. Production forecasting includes a 6 year life of Santa Rosa tailings reprocessing. Plant feed is augmented after 2.25 years with virgin ore from nearby operations at Kazan mine (a separate Peru JV mining project 5km from the Mollehuaca plant) and other projects currently being negotiated. Unless stated otherwise, all currency is quoted in US dollars.

Modest cash flow generated by these operations will support some of the Company‟s activities moving forward.

It should be noted that much of assessment of the viability of the Santa Rosa tailings field is based on previous work undertaken on behalf of the current owner. Commissioners Gold has relied upon its due diligence of this data and field visits in Peru.

Advanced Projects

The Peru JV has identified, evaluated and moved into advanced negotiation to acquire or invest in a number of exciting projects across Peru. Over coming months it is expected that some, if not most of these projects will be brought under the JV operating umbrella with the commencement of project financing, exploration, development and production.

Importantly, these advanced projects fulfil the JV objectives of early cash flow, scalability and modest entry cost.

Advanced projects include:

==> picture [9 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

  • Puno Gold Placer Mine – The JV is establishing an operating company to conduct placer mining operations in a well known world class placer deposit in mountainous northern Peru. Agreement has been made with a local miners cooperative to acquire 75% of the project by operating an existing gravimetric plant to process auriferous gravels mined at an initial rate of 3,000m3 per day at a conservatively low average grade target of 0.25g/m3. Studies and permits to commence operations is expected to take up to one year, within which the operating company will move to acquire similar scale projects in the immediate area. Importantly this project is seen as a bridgehead onto this world class placer deposit.

Robust production forecasting and economic modelling of an operating Puno Gold Placer mine indicates that 524 ounces of gold will be recovered per month, and that the sale of monthly gold production is valued at USD $495,000 after operational costs. This assumes that 3,000 m3 at 0.25g/m3 is processed daily with 85% recovery of contained gold, and a stable gold price of US$1,600 per ounce.

  • Huaraz Silver Mines – The JV is in the final stages of negotiating a farm-in based staged investment for increasing equity and operational control of two separate silver mining operations in the highlands of central Peru. These two mines are currently in production. The JV aims to initially optimise existing operations before conducting targeted internal exploration to identify mineable reserves and subsequent upscaling of mining operations, including installation of a flotation processing plant. In addition to high grades of silver (Ag), both of these deposits contain significant lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) mineralisation with some samples reporting ore grades of copper (Cu), gold (Au) and antimony (Sb).

  • Piura Gold-Silver Exploration – The JV has reached the final stages of negotiating sole access to 17,000 hectares of very prospective ground in northern Peru. This highly mineralised area is prospective for epithermal and porphyry system deposits and is the focus of a number of major international mining companies. The initial phase of the project is seen as a bridgehead into the area and will include the construction of a small cyanide/flotation processing plant on a 50/50 ownership basis between the JV and the local community association. Access to prospective mining ground underwritten by support from the community is seen by the JV as removing a critical project risk, vis-à-vis opposition from community groups (an issue in parts of Peru). A JV operational subsidiary company set up to accommodate this project will also be actively seeking other high grade projects in the immediate area.

It should be noted that these advanced projects have been progressed to the point of executing binding Memoranda of Understanding (MOU), after lengthy geological, engineering, legal and financial due diligence by the Peru JV team in both Lima and Sydney. The actual names of these projects, mining operations and localities has not been disclosed herein in order to protect business advantage at this late stage of final negotiations with our prospective partners.
