West Vault Mining Community

West Vault Mining Summary (2025) Projects : Hasbrouck and Three Hills (Nevada) Ownership : Acquired from Allied Nevada in 2014 PFS (2023) : Production: 70,000 oz/year for 8 years Capex: $66M After-tax IRR: 80% at $2200 gold Development Plan : Phase 1: Three Hills (shovel-ready, 12-month build) Phase 2: Hasbrouck (18-month build) Combined Reserves: ~725,000 oz (175K TH, 550K Hasbrouck) Strong exploration potential with high-grade intercepts Status : Development on hold, waiting for higher gold prices Burning ~$1M/year (conservative spend) Cash: ~$2.5M Announced share buyback: up to 3% Additional Assets : 60% interest in 11 Nevada properties (300K acres, from Newmont/Rubicon) 25K acres in Quebec (between two 4Moz deposits) Market Cap : ~$43M (fully diluted) — very low for a near-term 70K oz producer Risk/Reward : Upside: 10x potential at $4000 gold if mine built and extended Risk: May sell project instead of building Insiders/Ownership : Sun Valley Gold: 46% Ruffer: 17% Eric Sprott: 5% Konwave AG: 3% Management/Insiders: 1.5% Total Insider Ownership: ~70% CEO Quote (2/18/2025) : “We see building Hasbrouck as a viable way to unlock value, but we’re cautious of being a single-project company. Our market cap must be significantly above initial capex before we build — to allow room if things go wrong.” Key Assumptions Annual Production : 70,000 oz Mine Life : 8 years (likely to extend with exploration) Gold Price : $4,000/oz AISC (All-in Sustaining Cost) : Assume $1,200/oz (to be conservative) Free Cash Flow (FCF) per ounce = $4,000 - $1,200 = $2,800 Annual FCF = 70,000 oz × $2,800 = $196,000,000 Valuation Multiple : 10x–15x FCF (common for miners with solid assets) Market Cap Range : Conservative (10x) : $1.96B Optimistic (15x) : $2.94B Shares Outstanding (FD) : ~70 million (estimate) At $4,000 gold , West Vault Mining could be worth: $28.00/share (10x FCF) $42.00/share (15x FCF) Current stock price is under $1 , so this is a potential 30-40x return if the mine is built and production is realized.
