Santana Minerals Ltd

The most exciting thing to happen to Santana Minerals since the discovery of the high-grade Rise and Shine gold deposit. The NZ Government has now passed the Fast-track Approvals Bill, and named our Bendigo-Ophir project as a project of national significance, to be fast-tracked into production. We're now well on our way to developing the most significant gold discovery in NZ in over 40 years. #gold

The next step toward developing our highly profitable gold mine in NZ is complete. Out to today is our PFS showing low costs, high margins, high grades, 150koz per annum in the early years, rolling up into a project NPV of A$1.06 billion after tax. Making A$1.8 billion in free cash after tax over 9 years. Now onto the final study stages, financing and construction in 2025.

Another great quarter in the books as we march on toward project development. During the quarter our Bendigo-Ophir Gold Project was designated as a Fast Track Approval project by the NZ government. We are now looking forward to releasing our feasibility study and applying for our mining consents under the new regime. #gold #NZgold #Santana

We're excited to announce that our project is now eligible for Fast Track permitting, pending the imminent passing of the Fast Track Approvals bill by year-end. Our project has been recognised as nationally significant, with the potential to provide substantial economic benefits both regionally and nationally. The next steps include completing the feasibility study, reaching a final investment decision, and moving forward with construction. #gold #NZ

Our team is excited to be at the 2024 Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek, Colorado.

We were thrilled to announce another monster gold intercept at RAS today. MD326 - 41.6m @ 8.6g/t There's not many gold deposits like this around! #gold

Proud to see our local Otago olympian Finn Butcher win gold at the Paris Olympics. Can we say Santana predicted it in this sound bite as we chatted with the NZX in July?
