Neil MacRae: Growing Beyond 1-million Gold Ounces, Mining in Finland is Much Cheaper than in Canada

Mawson Finland(link is external)’s Executive Chairman, Neil MacRae, joins GoldSeek TV in Zurich to talk about advancing the Rajapalot Gold-Cobalt project in Finland, which continues to grow in ounces as the company looks to grow the gold resources by at least 50%.

What makes this project distinct from other gold projects around the world?

Finland is a great jurisdiction for mining and exploring, a Tier 1 jurisdiction.

A total of about 100,000 meters will have been completed on the Rajapalot project, significant amount of drilling.

A PEA is out with a resource of 867,000/ozs of gold at 2.8 g/t and 441 ppm Cobalt, but is not capturing the latest drilling and gold prices.

Our mandate is to increase the size of the resource by 50% over two winter drill seasons.

Currently the economics of the project are robust with a NPV at $1,700/oz Gold = $211M and $333M at $2,000 Gold.

In the next year or so the PEA will be update with current gold prices and additional exploration work.

What makes this such a low-cost potential mine?

The operating costs for Mawson in Finland are about ½ the cost we see in Canada. Power to labor is substantially less along with the efficiency of the project.

We also discuss the state of the gold sector, I ask Neil:

Is there a growing interest in the gold stocks with the rising gold price and why haven’t the share prices responded more positively?
