Orsu Metals updates Corporate Presentation

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 24, 2020 / Orsu Metals Corporation (TSX-V:OSU) (“Orsu” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that it has posted its updated corporate presentation for June 2020 on its web site:

https://www.orsumetals.com/investors/presentations/

The Corporate presentation showcases:

  • The Company is permitted to pilot mine 1,050,000 tons of mineralized material for up to 3 years in order to establish the essential elements of the Sergeevskoe gold project such as optimal flowsheet, achievable recoveries, mining loss and dilution among other things.
  • The Company expects that, as an added benefit of the pilot mining project, it will conceivably generate enough cash to fund exploration to grow the deposit base and advance the project without dilution to its shareholders.
  • Orsu Metals expects that pilot mining will begin in late summer 2020.
  • Notes:

The Company has made a decision to proceed to a bulk sample test followed by pilot mining production without first establishing mineral reserves supported by preliminary feasibility study, and is instead advancing to pilot mining production using drilling, metallurgy data alongside market evaluation. The Company understands that such projects are typically associated with higher risk of economic or technical failure.

Disclosure: Companies typically rely on comprehensive feasibility reports on mineral reserve estimates to reduce the risks and uncertainties associated with a production decision. Some industrial mineral ventures are relatively simple operations with low levels of investment and risk, where the operating entity has determined that a formal prefeasibility or feasibility study in conformance with NI 43-101 and 43-101 CP is not required for a production decision.. The Company has not completed a feasibility study on, nor has the Company completed a mineral reserve or resource estimate at the Sergeevskoe project and as such the financial and technical viability of the project is at higher risk than if this work had been completed. Based on geological data, metallurgy and current engineering work completed or in process by Orsu Metals, the Company intends to move forward with the development of this asset beginning with a bulk test followed by pilot mining from two outer perimeter areas of the project. The Company further cautions that it is not basing any production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability, and therefore there is a much greater risk of failure associated with its production decision. In addition, readers are cautioned that inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. The development of a mining operation typically involves large capital expenditures and a high degree of risk and uncertainty. To reduce this risk and uncertainty, the issuer typically makes its production decision based on a comprehensive feasibility study of established mineral reserves. The Company has decided to proceed without established mineral reserves, basing decision on internal projections.
