Cardinal Expands Namdini Mining Licence Area

Cardinal Resources Limited is pleased to advise that it has received approval for the expansion of the current Mining Licence from 19 km2 to 63 km2, more than tripling the size of the Mining Licence for its world‐class Namdini Gold Project in Ghana.

Cardinal Resources Limited (ASX/TSX: CDV) is pleased to advise that it has received approval for the expansion of the current Mining Licence from 19 km2 to 63 km2, more than tripling the size of the Mining Licence for its world‐class Namdini Gold Project in Ghana.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Mining Licence increased to a maximum allowable area of 63 km2 from 19 km2 for a term of 15 years and is renewable
  • Expanded   Mining   Licence   allows   for   further   financial   optimisation   by   repositioning infrastructure such as tailings storage facilities, stockpiles and waste dumps
  • Exploration potential enhanced within expanded area along the Namdini shear to the south

 

Cardinal’s Chief Executive Officer / Managing Director, Archie Koimtsidis stated:

“It is most pleasing to have the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources and the Minerals Commission of Ghana support our Mining Licence area expansion. The expansion aligns with the Company’s plan to not only significantly optimise the location of key infrastructure such as tailings storage facilities, stockpiles and waste dumps but also to further explore financial benefits during the Front‐End Engineering  and Design (FEED)  of  the  Namdini  Project.  Further,  it  allows  the  Company  to  expand  its  exploration  activities immediately  south of Namdini which has great potential along the southern extension  of the Namdini shear.”

Namdini Mining Licence
The Minerals Commission of Ghana has approved a significant expansion of the Namdini Mining Licence. The new Mining Licence area covers a total of 63 km2 which is the maximum allowable area (Figure 1).

A Large‐Scale Mining License covering the Namdini Mining License was granted to Cardinal Namdini Mining Limited (“Cardinal Namdini”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cardinal Resources Limited, by the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources under the Ghanaian Minerals and Mining Act 2006 (Act 703) in 2017.

The Large‐Scale Mining Licence originally covered 19km2  in the Dakoto area of the Talensi District in the Upper East Region of Ghana. The expanded Large‐Scale Mining Licence now covers 63 km2  (Figure 1) and has been granted for an initial period of 15 years commencing in 2020 and is renewable. The expanded Large‐Scale Mining Licence allows Cardinal to optimise and de‐risk mine and infrastructure design and optimise financial outcomes as the Company continues to progress the FEED programme.

 

Cardinal is readying for development of the world‐class Namdini Gold Project located in Northern Ghana, subject to concluding project development financing. Once developed, the Namdini Gold Project is expected to produce over 360,000 ounces per annum for the first two years of operation and over the life of mine is expected to produce an average of 287,000 ounces per annum. The Definitive Feasibility Study completed in late 2019, indicated compelling economics, including a post‐tax NPV5 of over US$958 million which is capable of generating over US$1.55 billion in undiscounted project cashflow (assuming a gold price of US$1,550/oz).

Cardinal’s Project development timetable is outlined below.

Project Development Timeline

Proposed Project Development Schedule (subject to financing*)
Milestone                                                                                                                                                       Target timeline
Advance Resettlement Action Plan to completion**                                                                       Q3 2020
Advance Front End Engineering and Design (“FEED”) to completion                                         Q4 2020
Target production commencement                                                                                                          H2 2022

*The Company’s proposed project development schedule assumes that the Company is fully funded to proceed throughout and beyond the FEED process into early works and full construction. Whilst the Company is currently engaged in the financing process, the actual development schedule will depend upon the manner and timing of the Company’s financing plans as well as any potential delays that may be associated with future Covid‐19 disruptions. Dates are therefore indicative only.
**Key milestone in relation to the RAP was achieved with approval from the Minerals Commission of Ghana (MinCom) received. For more information please see ASX/TSX press release dated 11 March 2020.
