Full summary

Lunnon Metals Limited (ASX: LM8) has announced that following the completion of the Lady Herial Feasibility Study and the confirmation of the Ore Purchase Agreement (OPA) with major shareholder St Ives Gold Mining Co. Pty Ltd (SIGM), the Board of Directors has approved the Final Investment Decision. This allows mining contracts to be executed and mining to commence.

Operating free cash flow (pre-tax) is recorded as $40.4M (@ $6,250/oz), $42.9M (@ $6,500/oz) or $47.9M (@ $7,000/oz; spot gold sits at ~$6,900/oz). The preferred contractors are Hampton Civil and Mining for mining, and Goldfields Technical Services of Kalgoorlie for statutory positions, operational blast design, dig plans, mine geology, surveying and general site/Run of Mine pad management. Final contracts are being prepared and are expected to be executed in the short term, after which mining can commence. Lunnon Metals is confident that Lady Herial's mine plan can be delivered safely, efficiently and extremely profitably at the current A$ gold prices, to the benefit of all key stakeholders.
