Hat polymetallic porphyry project, Canada

Name of the Project
Hat polymetallic porphyry project.
Location
North-western British Columbia, Canada, on the traditional territories of the Tahltan Nation and the Taku River Tlingit First Nation.
Project Owner/s
Doubleview Gold Corp.
Project Description
The project entails the development of the project as a conventional large-scale openpit mine and processing operation. The preliminary economic assessment (PEA) outlines a 25-year life-of-mine (LoM) and plant throughput of 120 000 t/d, or 42-million tonnes a year. Two processing pathways were evaluated, A1 and its alternative, A2, and B.
The first alternative, A, is a copper/gold/silver/cobalt flotation concentrator with two recovery cases based on current metallurgical testwork, and A2, reflecting expected performance. A2 proposes LoM average production of 70 800 t/y copper, 183 100 oz/y gold,
271 300 oz/y silver and 1 000 t/y cobalt. B proposes a full circuit that retains the base flowsheet and adds a downstream hydrometallurgical scandium recovery circuit.
B is envisioned as a conventional large-scale openpit operation, with LoM average production of 67 600 t/y copper, 217 300 oz/y gold, 348 000 oz/y silver, 2 500 t/y cobalt and 128 t/y scandium oxide.
Results have indicated that the project is financially attractive even without the scandium component.
Potential Job Creation
Not stated.
Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
Scenario A2: The project delivers an after-tax net present value (NPV), at a 5% discount rate, of up to C$6.73-billion and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 23% at consensus prices.
Scenario B: The project delivers an after-tax NPV, including scandium and the associated processing circuit, of C$6.94-billion and an IRR of 19% at consensus metal prices.
Capital Expenditure
Scenario A2: Initial capital expenditure is estimated at C$6.22-billion.Scenario B: Initial capital expenditure is estimated at C$6.39-billion.
Planned Start/End Date
The PEA serves as the technical foundation for an immediate transition into a prefeasibility study (PFS), providing a clear roadmap for early works and permitting activities in 2026 and 2027.
