About Capricorn Metals
Capricorn Metals Ltd is a Western Australian-based gold exploration and development company. The company is led by CEO Kim Massey, who brings extensive experience in the mining industry and has been instrumental in the development of the Karlawinda Gold Mine. Karlawinda has been a solid asset for the company whilst still holding significant potential for growth, with a proven and increasing resource base. It is anticipated to last another 10 years and possesses 1.25Moz Ore Reserves and 2.23Moz Mineral Resources. This does not account for the prospect for further discoveries at the project, which could enable a mine life extension. The catch for investors is that the company is starting a second mine in the Mt Gibson gold mine. has built up a 1.45Moz Ore Reserve Estimate, with an operation delivering A$1.2bn in free cash flow and with an NPV of A$828m. It anticipates an average of 152kozpa for the first 7.5 years and a full mine life of 10 years. Again, the company thinks it can extend this, given the average pit depth is only 140m.
Capricorn Metals Company History
Karlawinda was discovered by IGO (then known as Independence Group) back in 2008 and Capricorn bought it in 2016. It entered production in the middle of CY21 (right on June 30) on time and on budget. The irony is that this company was close to throwing this all away. Regis Resources tried to buy Capricorn in 2018 but was unsuccessful. Perhaps for the better, because the bid was only 11c per share. Mt Gibson, meanwhile, was a historic gold mine in the Murchison region of WA that had produced >868koz gold between 1986 and 1999. The project was mothballed for 30 years due to low gold prices in the 1990s – we’re talking A$450/oz – and remained mothballed for 20 years. Capricorn picked it up in December 2021 when it was granted tenure. The company built up a resource over time and is set to recommence mining there in the next 12 months.

Future Outlook of Capricorn Metals (ASX: CMM)
The future outlook for Capricorn Metals is positive, driven by strategic plans for expansion and growth in gold production at Karlawinda as well as Mt Gibson.

Of course, there is the risk of delays in production or other operational hurdles which can impact all companies, even at record high commodity prices.

Is CMM a Good Stock to Buy?
Investors looking for exposure to gold with a promising exploration pipeline might find Capricorn Metals an attractive option. Not just because gold is hot, but because it is going from one operating mine to two operating mines this year. But, as always, potential investors should consider their risk tolerance before making a decision.
