West Wits Mining secured $50M in financing for its South African gold project using share options instead of cash.
West Wits Mining has secured a key financing step for its Qala Shallows gold project in South Africa, with Absa Bank accepting 100.4 million share options instead of ZAR 7.65 million in cash fees for a US$50 million loan.
The deal, with a 1.85-cent strike price, reflects confidence in the project located in the historic Witwatersrand Basin.
The deposit holds 1.026 million ounces of gold, and a feasibility study projects a US$500 million net present value, 81% post-tax IRR, and annual output of 70,000 ounces at all-in sustaining costs of US$1,289 per ounce.
Total capital costs are estimated at US$60 million, with peak funding needs of US$44 million already covered.
