Nye County & the Bruner District

Canamex’s Bruner project is located in Nye County, one of the largest and most mineral rich counties in the United States. There are numerous gold districts in this county, with one of the world’s largest gold mines, Round Mountain, also located here.

Nevada Mining Overview

In 2017 Nevada produced around 174,000 kg of gold worth USD 9.5 billion at today's values, representing 71% of gold produced in the United States and 5.6% of the world's production.

Total gold production recorded from Nevada from 1835 to 2017 exceed 6.2 million kg, worth over USD 341 billion at today’s values.

Much of Nevada's gold production comes from large open pit mining using heap leaching recovery, such as that to be used at the Bruner project.

Nye County, founded in 1864, comprises more than 44,000 square km in south-central Nevada and is studded with north-trending mountain ranges. The intermontane valleys are not drained, and streams terminate in sinks or salt-encrusted flats.

The most important mineral commodities of Nye County have been precious metals, with several high-quality mines operating in the county.

Drill Intercepts

Bruner has some of the best drill intercepts in Nevada USA, which includes 110m at 4.08g/ton of gold and 57.9m at 5.23g/ton of gold. A typical grade for open cut oxide mines (such as Bruner) is 0.5g/ton.

Resources

The project is currently estimated to have total resources of around 12,162 kg of gold and 113,248 kg of silver, with potential expansion of these resources through further drilling, with over 80% of the project relatively unexplored.

Projected IRR

At a gold price of USD 46,650 per kg, Bruner’s projected internal rate of return (IRR) is over 60% pre-tax. A good mining operation typically has a pre-tax IRR of 20% and above.

Capital Payback Period

The average annual gold production is forecast at 1,322 kg over 10 years, at an average cost of USD 18,551 per kg for the initial two years, giving a capital payback period of less than 15 months.

Operations

As extraction source and facilities over the initial two years of production is located entirely on patented claims, permits can be readily obtained. Furthermore, 90% recovery of gold from crushed material is projected from a single stage of oxide heap leach processing, based on sample testing.
