Horizonte Minerals plc Provides Updates on Construction HORIZONTE MINERALS provided Q3-2023 CON Construction progress continues to be made at Araguaia. Strong safety performance, no lost time injuries with close to 5.1 million hours worked. Rotary Kiln sections have been installed on the support piers. The furnace shell is complete with roof installation underway. All critical equipment packages have been contracted and are either on site or en route to site. As of 30 September, 138,000 tonnes of ore averaging 1.92% Ni has been stockpiled. Commissioning of the 126 km (230kV) power transmission line underway. USD429 million has been spent at Araguaia as of 30 September 2023. Reta Engenharia's detailed capital cost and schedule analysis is on-going, with the updated estimate being assessed to meet the requirements of AACEI Class 1, improved from the estimate utilised in September 2022. Principal capital changes are linked to the following: Civil works: the development of engineering maturity and identification of new scopes to the project resulted in increases in civil quantities (concrete, rebar and formwork) and the corresponding rise in the installation costs. These changes relate to the water storage reservoir, the water abstraction pipeline, selected major equipment packages and equipment interfaces. More detailed information will be given once the final engineering study is complete by mid Fourth Quarter-2023. Project FINANCING ACTIVITIES. Araguaia line 2: FEASIBILITY Study EXPECTED in Fourth Quarter 2023. The results from the Feasibility Study on Araguaia Line 2 remain on track to be published in mid fourth quarter-2023. Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, the ability of the Company to complete a positive feasibility study regarding the second RKEF line at Araguaia on time, or at all, the success of exploration and mining activities; cost and timing for delivery of the equipment to be purchased, the estimation of mineral resources and reserves and the ability of the Company to achieve its goals in respect of growing its mineral resources; the realization of mineral resource and reserve estimates and achieving production in accordance with the Company's potential production profile or at all. 공지 • Oct 05
Horizonte Minerals Plc Provides Update on Araguaia Nickel Project Construction Horizonte Minerals Plc announces that it has made good progress in completing the final detailed engineering and construction design for Line 1 of its 100%-owned Araguaia Nickel Project ("Araguaia" or "the Project"). This work, along with a comprehensive cost review, has resulted in changes to the design and execution scope, which are expected to increase the overall capital expenditure requirement by at least 35% (of current capex budget) and delay first production to Q3-2024. Given the progress made to date with construction, the value of the Araguaia Line 1 Project and the upcoming delivery of the Feasibility Study on Araguaia Line 2, the Company continues to have strong support from its major partners. The Company is working on a plan with its various financial institutions together with the cornerstone shareholdersfor a financing solution to complete construction. Construction work on site continues to progress well with all key engineering drawings issued for construction. Ore stockpiling activities commenced last quarter, and ROM build-up is progressing to schedule. The rotary dryer is now in place, with all shells aligned for final welding. Construction of the 126km, 230kV transmission line is well advanced, with all pylons erected and 118km of conductor cable installed. Construction of the water storage reservoir is also well advanced, with the initial sections of the water abstraction pipeline positioned and foundations poured for the river abstraction pump station. To de-risk the operation, the final detailed engineering work has added additional scope items linked to the major equipment packages, made several enhanced design changes from the original engineering study (including changes to the water abstraction pipeline design and water storage reservoir), and has identified the requirement for additional civil works and quantities. Additionally, changes have been required with selected suppliers who have not been able to deliver to the project timeframe, which has added further cost pressures. Accordingly, the Company engaged Reta Engenharia to undertake an independent review of the remaining capital expenditure and schedule, incorporating the change in scope, material and quantity variations, increased project duration to first metal and associated costs, and additional working capital requirements. The Company has also undertaken a detailed review of the ramp up and operational costs. The Company expects to publish an update by mid Q4-2023 once this review is complete. The results from the Feasibility Study on Araguaia Line 2 remain on track to be published in Q4-2023. The combined production of Araguaia Line 1 and 2 is expected to be 29,000 tonnes per annum.
