Shares of Europa Metals Ltd (LON: EUZ) surged 24.6% today after the company released the preliminary findings of a new economic study of the Toral lead-zinc-silver mine project located in the NorthWestern part of Spain.
The report revealed that the mine could produce 700,000 tonnes annually over a 12-year operation span. Europa Metals noted that the mine could produce high-grade concentrations of the above metals that meet EU regulations, which would allow them to be sold within the region.
The study pegged the projects net value at $156 million with a 31.3% internal rate of return. Europa Metals would have to invest $79 million upfront with the mine’s operations costing an additional $477 million over the 12-year lifespan. The mine’s lifetime revenues are predicted at $963 million.
