North Peak Strategy and Acquisition Criteria

  • Since 2020 North Peak reviewed + 60 properties seeking low cost gold production in politically safe jurisdictions and the former 3 mine producing Black Horse property attracted North Peak
    • Similar strategy in the founding of Kirkland Lake Gold (Ontario, Canada) and Rupert Resources (Finland, Central Lapland Gold belt)
  • Target properties with favorable exploration and/or production histories as Black Horse property does - of low operating cost, long life mining life either open pit or underground
    • Such history can reduce risks and challenges in permitting, reserve development, processing
  • The "ideal project" has costs below $1,000 an ounce for its first ten years of production, this is based on acquire, build and operate economics. For example, plan for 750,000 ounces in the first ten years at an open-pit mine
    • Property acquisition $50 mln - $66 per ounce
    • Mine build and Capex $75 million - $100 per ounce
    • Operating Cost per ounce with Sustaining Capital $600-700 per ounce
