Investor update summary
24 Mar, 2026Project overview and economics
Paris is a high-margin, primary silver project in South Australia, producing silver doré bars with direct leverage to silver prices and rare pure silver exposure.
The DFS confirms strong economics: pre-tax NPV of AUD 618 million at consensus pricing, rising to AUD 1.2 billion at spot, with IRRs of 61% and 93% respectively, and rapid payback periods of 13 and 11 months.
Life-of-mine free cash flow is AUD 1.9 billion at spot and AUD 1,038 million at consensus, with robust operating margins and 30Moz LOM production over an 11-year mine life.
Every $1 increase in silver price adds AUD 27 million to NPV and AUD 42 million to free cash flow.
Project is underpinned by a shallow, high-grade ore body, enabling low-cost, bulk open pit mining and staged mine plan for early cash flows.
Technical design and operational strategy
Mine plan stages high-grade ore early, supporting strong early cash flows and rapid payback.
Large ore stockpiles built early provide operational flexibility and resilience, with stockpiles peaking at nearly AUD 500 million in value.
Processing uses a conventional, low-risk Merrill-Crowe flow sheet, with a 1.5 Mtpa plant sized for financeability and simple metallurgy.
Infrastructure is expansion-ready, with overbuilt tailings storage, water redundancy, and conservative power and camp assumptions.
All-in sustaining cost is about AUD 39.70/oz, with a simple, predictable cost base and further optimization potential.
Capital, financing, and scalability
Development funding requirement is approximately AUD 260 million, fully loaded for all site infrastructure and working capital.
Capital approach is conservative, with scope for optimization in power, camp, and road costs.
Project is designed for scalability, with infrastructure supporting potential satellite deposits and throughput scenarios tested up to 2 Mtpa.
Targeting a funding structure of roughly 70% debt and 30% equity, with ongoing work to support project finance readiness.
Recent AUD 55 million placement ensures the project is well-funded for execution readiness and de-risking activities, with a further AUD 13 million pending shareholder approval.
