Gold Standard Ventures Corp. (GSV:TSX.V; GSV:NYSE) announced in a news release the completion and filing of a South Railroad preliminary feasibility study on its Dark Star and Pinion oxide gold, heap-leach project in Nevada.
The study has 47.344 million tons of reserve ore at 0.82 grams per ton (0.82 g/t) gold, 4.7 g/t silver at Pinion, overall containing 1.248 million ounces of gold and 2.705 million ounces of silver.
Assuming $1,400 per ounce gold and $17.11 per ounce silver prices, the resulting life of mine pretax net present value 5% (NPV5%) was estimated at $302.1 million and the internal rate of return (IRR) at 32.4%. After tax for the life of mine, the NPV5% would be $241.5 million and the IRR, 27.8%.
