Erdene Receives Tax Stabilization Certificate for Bayan Khundii Gold Project

10.01.2022 | 13:30 Uhr | GlobeNewswire

HALIFAX, Jan. 10, 2022 - Erdene Resource Development Corp. (TSX:ERD | MSE:ERDN) ("Erdene" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received a Tax Stabilization Certificate for the Bayan Khundii Gold Project from the Mongolian Government's National Development Agency (NDA), effective December 21, 2021.

Quotes from the Company

"We are very pleased to receive a Tax Stabilization Certificate which protects the Bayan Khundii Gold Project's economics from potential statutory tax or royalty increases," said Peter Akerley, Erdene's President and CEO. "The Tax Stabilization Certificate demonstrates the Government of Mongolia's commitment to regulatory stability and promotes foreign direct investment in projects like Bayan Khundii, which benefit local stakeholders and Erdene's shareholders, including thousands of Mongolian investors."

Stabilization Certificate - Mongolia's Investment Law

Mongolia's Investment Law guarantees fair, stable and globally competitive tax treatment for investors through Stabilization Certificates, which fix the taxation rates applicable to qualifying investments at the lower of those in place at the date investment and those currently enacted.

The Tax Stabilization Certificate fixes the statutory tax rates applicable to Erdene's Bayan Khundii Gold Project until December 21, 2030, at no less favorable than those incorporated into the Bankable Feasibility Study, including:

  • Gold Royalties: 5% of net revenues
  • Corporate Income Tax: 25% of taxable income
  • Value-added Tax ("VAT"): 10% of all goods and services
  • Customs Duty: 5% for all process equipment, materials and consumables sourced internationally

The Tax Stabilization Certificate is valid for nine (9) years, and may be extended for up to half of the initial term, if certain conditions are met.

Receipt of the Tax Stabilization Certificate was contingent upon the approval of Erdene's Detailed Environmental Assessment, which was announced on December 7, 2021 (press release here).

Khundii Gold District

Erdene's deposits are in the Edren Terrane, within the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, host to some of the world's largest gold and copper-gold deposits. The Company has been the leader in exploration in southwest Mongolia over the past decade and is responsible for the discovery of the Khundii Gold District comprised of multiple high-grade gold and gold/base metal prospects, two of which are being considered for development: the 100%-owned Bayan Khundii and Altan Nar projects. Together, these deposits comprise the Khundii Gold Project. The Company also has a 100% interest in the Khuvyn Khar license which hosts the large Zuun Mod molybdenum-copper deposit and multiple copper and molybdenum porphyry targets, 30 kilometers east of the Khundii gold district.

The Bayan Khundii Gold Resource1 includes 521,000 ounces of 3.16 g/t gold Measured and Indicated ("M&I")? and 103,000 ounces of Inferred resources at 3.68 g/t gold. Within the M&I resource, a proven and probable open-pit reserve totals 409,000 ounces at 3.7 g/t (see the full press release here), providing significant potential growth of reserves with the development of the remaining M&I and Inferred resources1.

In July 2020, Erdene announced the results of an independent Feasibility Study for the Bayan Khundii Gold Project (press release here). The Feasibility Study results include an after-tax Net Present Value at a 5% discount rate and a US$1,400/oz gold price of US$100 million and Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 42%. The Feasibility Study envisions an open-pit mine at Bayan Khundii, producing an average of 63,500 oz gold per year, for seven years, at a head grade of 3.71 g/t gold, utilizing a conventional carbon in pulp processing plant. Production is expected to commence in early 2023 based on the current project schedule.
