    Zink in tien jaar niet zo duur

    LONDEN (AFN/BLOOMBERG) - De prijs van zink stond maandag op de hoogste stand in meer dan tien jaar, na berichten dat de voorraden van het metaal stevig waren geslonken. Daarnaast bereikte de nikkelprijs zijn hoogste piek in drie jaar tijd. Dit was weer het gevolg van gunstige economische vooruitzichten en de impact van de zwakkere dollar.

    Nevsun Provides 2018 Outlook and Guidance
    VANCOUVER, Jan. 31, 2018 - Nevsun Resources Ltd. (TSX:NSU) (NYSE AMERICAN:NSU) (Nevsun or the Company) today provided its outlook and guidance for 2018. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in millions of US dollars.

    2018 Outlook Highlights

    Achieve top quartile safety performance at all operations
    Invest $50 to $60 million advancing the Timok Upper Zone Copper-Gold Project

    Produce 210 to 240 million pounds1 of zinc at:
    C1 cash cost of $0.70 to $0.90 per payable pound sold with copper on a co-product basis; and
    C1 cash cost of $0.60 to $0.80 per payable pound sold with copper on a by-product basis2

    Produce 20 to 30 million pounds1 of copper at:
    C1 cash cost of $1.55 to $1.75 per payable pound sold on a co-product basis

    Invest $15 million including 12.5 km of follow-up drilling on highly prospective Upper Zone targets

    Suspend the dividend and redeploy capital to growth

    Peter Kukielski, President and CEO commented, "In 2018 Nevsun will drive value by advancing the high-grade Timok Upper Zone project, one of the world's best copper development projects. We will complete our prefeasibility in Q1 2018, significantly advance the definitive feasibility, and follow up on last year's successful Upper Zone exploration program." Mr. Kukielski continued, "At Bisha, zinc and copper production are expected to increase, taking advantage of a strong base metals market. The resulting cash flow and dividend redeployment will bolster an already strong balance sheet enabling growth from Timok development and exploration."

    Timok Copper-Gold Project

    The Company expects to invest between $50 and $60 million (excluding exploration) at the Timok Upper Zone Project for 2018. Key activities include:

    Complete the in-progress pre-feasibility study in Q1-2018 including a maiden reserve estimate;
    Commence and advance the definitive feasibility study work for completion in the first half of 2019;
    Start development of the exploration decline once all permits are received;
    Continue land acquisition to cover the majority of the Upper Zone mine footprint;
    Complete the condemnation drilling program to assist with infrastructure planning; and
    Advance other critical path activities including the environmental and social impact assessment.
    Commencement of exploration decline work is contingent on permitting by the State of Serbia. The Company was expecting the exploration decline permit in Q4 2017 and is now collaborating with the State of Serbia to understand the source of the delay and to expedite approval. An estimated $15 million of work on the exploration decline is budgeted in 2018.

An estimated $15 million of work on the exploration decline is budgeted in 2018.

    Bisha Zinc-Copper Mine

    In 2018 the principal source of mill feed is primary ore sourced from the Bisha main pit. This is in contrast to the second half of 2017 when zinc-only stockpiles were processed. Stockpiles of zinc-only ore remain available for processing, if required. At current gold prices there are no plans to monetize precious metal stockpiles in 2018.

    Bisha expects to achieve improved zinc and copper recoveries from primary ore in 2018. An ongoing program of metallurgical improvement is yielding improvements in copper recoveries at Bisha. Recent work has focused on reagent optimisation and further work is planned on water quality and tighter pH control within the flotation circuit. Processing of stockpiled zinc-only ore, which adversely impacted 2017 overall metallurgical performance, is not planned in 2018.

    Planned total material movement (ore plus waste) of 21.2 million tonnes is up 15% from 2017. To achieve this increase, the mine will take advantage of recently purchased additional heavy mining equipment, shortened haul distances from planned waste dumping in the now exhausted north portion of the pit, and continue to use contractors to enhance maintenance capacity and improve fleet reliability.

    Capital investment at Bisha is estimated at $15 million for 2018 including $3 million for continuation of studies investigating the underground potential and $12 million for general sustaining capital.

    Exploration

    The Company is investing $5 million in exploration for the Upper and Lower Zone projects during 2018. This budget includes drilling approximately 12,500 metres of Upper Zone exploration. Drilling will target new high grade, high sulphidation mineralization near the Timok Upper Zone, building on the promising exploration results announced in January 2018.

    For the Timok Lower Zone porphyry exploration, the $20 million agreed work program with Freeport-McMoRan Exploration Corporation ("Freeport") will be completed in 2018 with the final $1 million of this program 100% funded by Nevsun. Freeport, the joint venture partner on the Lower Zone, continues to work with the Company to design and execute the next phase of the Lower Zone work program which would be funded pro-rata by the partners.

    The Company will drill approximately 16,000 metres at its 100% owned exploration projects in Serbia and Macedonia at a cost of $4 million. The exploration costs at Tilva in Serbia are predominantly funded by Rio Tinto as part of their earn-in.

    In 2018 a budget of $7 million for 15,000 metres of exploration drilling is planned at Bisha. Work is targeting new shallow near-mine copper, gold and silver discoveries, and the work programs will include diamond drilling, ongoing surface and borehole geophysics, and target generation.

    Dividend Policy and Capital Requirements

    The Board of Directors has completed the review of its dividend policy announced in early December 2017. Following the January 17, 2018 dividend payment, the Company will suspend dividend payments to redeploy the capital to the high-grade Timok copper-gold project in Serbia. Nevsun has determined that the development of the Timok Upper Zone represents, by far, the Company's best allocation of capital.

    The Company will continue to advance its financing activities for the Timok project in 2018. The Company is in early stage discussions with project finance providers and expects to advance these discussions on release of the Timok pre-feasibility study. In parallel with these discussions, the Company is currently evaluating options for sourcing additional capital, including equity, convertible debt, precious metal streaming, and strategic partnerships.

    About Nevsun Resources Ltd.

    Nevsun Resources Ltd. is the 100% owner of the high-grade copper-gold Timok Upper Zone and 60.4% owner of the Timok Lower Zone in Serbia. The Timok Lower Zone is a partnership with Freeport, which currently owns 39.6% and upon completion of any feasibility study, Nevsun Resources Ltd. will own 46% and Freeport will own 54%. Nevsun generates cash flow from its 60% owned copper-zinc Bisha Mine in Eritrea. Nevsun is well positioned with a strong debt-free balance sheet to grow shareholder value through advancing Timok to production.

    Nevsun Receives Permit for Exploration Decline at Timok Project in Serbia
    VANCOUVER, March 1, 2018 - Nevsun Resources Ltd. (TSX:NSU) (NYSE AMERICAN:NSU) ("Nevsun" or the "Company") announced today it received the Decline Exploration Permit from the Serbian Ministry of Mining and Energy for the Timok Upper Zone project.

    Peter Kukielski, Nevsun CEO, commented, "Our team has been working closely with the Ministry of Mining and Energy and other government agencies in Serbia over the past several months to achieve this significant milestone for the Timok Upper Zone project. The pre-feasibility study remains on track for release at the end of Q1 2018, after which we expect to immediately proceed with the full feasibility study work. We would like to thank the State of Serbia for their ongoing support of the project and our team in Serbia for their hard work in managing the permitting process."

    With this permit in place, the Timok project team will commence preparatory work and contracting for construction of the decline. The exploration decline is expected to take approximately two years to reach the Timok Upper Zone orebody.

    Nevsun to open one of the richest copper and gold mines near Bor

    27/02/2017Author Snezana Bjelotomic
    Canadian company Nevsun plans to start exploitation of a copper and gold mine in the Cukaru Peki region near Bor by the year end. Cukaru Peki is thought to be potentially one of the richest copper and gold mines in the world.

    “The feasibility study is supposed to be finished soon, after which, in the fourth quarter of 2017, we are going to start preliminary activities on opening of the mine”, says Cliff Davis, CEO of Nevsun.

    “Our plan is to develop this pit quickly and to make it fully operational by 2021”, Davis adds.

    According to the preliminary feasibility study, the value of the copper and gold deposits in the Cukaru Peki is estimated to be worth around 7 billion USD. The study also says that the costs of making this mine operation could go up to 500 million USD. Also, the study unequivocally states that this could potentially be the richest global deposit of copper and gold.

    The study goes on to say that the Serbian state authorities would get 5% of the net revenue generated from the exploitation of this mine on the account of the mineral raw material fee, as well as an additional 15% on the account of tax.

    Experts say there are very few companies that can handle such a big project that is opening a mine in Cukaru Peki. Rio Tinto, one of the biggest mining corporations in the world, is one of such companies. So, it would not come as a surprise if Nevsun were to cooperate with Rio Tinto on opening of the Cukaru Peki mine. The mine supposedly has 1.7 million tons of copper and 98 tons of gold where just one mother lode contains 50.3 grams of gold per ton.

    Ze zitten nog met die Bisha mijn. Dat is niet zo'n feestje als Cukaru Peki. Daar is weinig mis mee.
    De cashflow van Bisha zal het grootste deel van de mijnkosten in Servië gaan betalen.
    Samen met een lening heeft Nevsun dan geld genoeg om de nieuwe mijn alleen te financieren.

    Nevsun Advances Timok Upper Zone Copper-Gold Project with Release of Robust PFS

    Vancouver, BC – Nevsun Resources Ltd. (TSX:NSU) (NYSE AMERICAN: NSU) (Nevsun or the Company) today announced the results of a pre-feasibility study ("PFS") for the Timok Upper Zone copper-gold project in Serbia ("Timok Project" or "Project"), one of the world's best development stage copper projects. All economic values within this release are in US dollars unless indicated otherwise.

    Nevsun CEO Peter Kukielski commented, "The PFS confirms the extraordinary value of our wholly-owned Timok Upper Zone project. This is a high-grade, high return, fully executable copper project in a supportive jurisdiction. The PFS is an important advance over our October 2017 Preliminary Economic Assessment and further de-risks the Project by improving confidence in the engineering details, metallurgical understanding, timeline to production and capital assumptions.

    As we drive toward a feasibility study in mid-2019, I am confident that we have the right team in place to bring the Timok Project into production. Between our management and the Board, we collectively have decades of development experience through the building of multiple projects and tens of billions of direct over sight of deployment of capital."

    Timok Upper Zone Project PFS Highlights

    Initial Probable Mineral Reserve of 27 million tonnes at 3.3% copper and 2.1 grams per tonne gold using a price of $3.00 per pound copper and $1300 per ounce gold
    Pre-production capital cost of $574 million, excluding $114 million to be spent to reach a construction decision
    After-tax NAV8% of $1.82 billion and IRR of 80% at $3.15 per pound copper valued at start of construction (July 2020)
    After-tax NAV8% of $1.45 billion and IRR of 55% at $3.15 per pound copper, including pre-construction capital and valued at June 30, 2018
    Initial production targeted for 2022
    Ten-year mine life producing over 1.7 billion pounds of payable copper, excluding inferred resources
    Life of Mine average annual payable production of 86 thousand tonnes per year at an average C1 cash cost of $0.92 per copper pound
    Average annual payable copper production of 143 thousand tonnes at an average C1 cash cost of $0.54 per copper pound over the first three full years of production
    Strong front-end cash flow and quick payback period of less than 1 year supports a wide range of financing opportunities and alternatives
    Scoping level work suggests potential to decrease initial capital by up to $100 million through a staged ramp up from 1.6 to 3.2 million tonnes per annum while maintaining strong Project economics
    Significant exploration potential exists through the future conversion of inferred resources and greenfield exploration

    Nevsun CEO Peter Kukielski continued, "The Project lies in an established mining jurisdiction with a supportive and collaborative government. The Republic of Serbia recently granted an exploration decline permit for the Project, advancing our timeline to production. The decline permit is a testament to the strong working relationship that we have built with the government of Serbia. We are grateful for their continued support as we begin initial construction of the decline in Q2 2018, advancing the Timok Upper Zone Project for the benefit of both local stakeholders and our shareholders."

    Serbia's Minister of Mining and Energy, Aleksandar Antic commented, "The Timok Project is very important to Serbia. I, and my Ministry, are committed to supporting Nevsun along the journey to production."

    Mr. Kukielski added, "We are very excited about the potential upside from additional high-grade Upper Zone type deposits. Based on our recently disclosed exploration results, we are confident there are more discoveries to be made, which could eventually increase the production profile and extend mine life."

    Ryan MacWilliam, Nevsun CFO, said, "The Timok Upper Zone remains a low capital intensity project which the Company is in a strong position to finance, considering our strong cash position, debt-free balance sheet, Bisha cash flow and the robust front-end cash flow from Timok. We have initiated discussions with several potential project finance providers, including traditional banks, development banks and precious metals streaming companies and potential strategic partners. These discussions have confirmed that we have multiple viable options for financing the Project which will now be advanced in parallel with the feasibility study. As we move to feasibility, we will closely examine further de-risking the Project via a ramp-up scenario starting with initial production at 1.6 million tonnes per annum ramping up to 3.25 million tonnes per annum. Recent scoping level studies suggest that this approach has the potential to deliver a capital savings of up to $100 million while maintaining strong economics."

    Daar verschillen we ten gronde over van mening. Ik vermoed zelfs dat Nevsun blij zou zijn om van Bisha af te zijn zodat ze zich volledig op Servie kunnen richten.

    Als ze Bisha kunnen verkopen tegen een goede prijs zullen ze dat heus wel doen, maar voorlopig is Bisha de enige bron van inkomsten.
    Zonder Bisha zou er een enorme verwatering moeten plaatsvinden en zou de koers enorm gaan dalen.
    Bovendien kunnen ze in Bisha veel ervaring opdoen.

    Bisha kan nu gemakkelijk ca 100 miljoen per jaar cashflow opleveren, waardoor Timok grotendeels gefinancierd kan worden; een partner is dan niet meer nodig.
    Het ziet er nu ook naar uit dat de levensduur van Bisha weer naar 8 jaar gaat ipv 4 jaar.
