Capstone has entered into a framework agreement with Puerto Abierto S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Puerto Ventanas S.A. (subsidiary of Sigdo Koppers S.A., collectively “Puerto Ventanas” or “PVSA”), under which Puerto Ventanas assumes responsibility for financing, constructing and operating the proposed port component of the Santo Domingo project. This represents approximately $250 million of the initial capital identified in the most recent NI 43-101 Technical Report. Discussions with Sigdo Kopper’s rail business “FEPASA” are ongoing and present an opportunity for a further $150 million reduction in Santo Domingo project capital costs by replacing the iron pipeline and related port infrastructure with a rail option. Under the terms of the Framework Agreement, Puerto Ventanas assumes responsibility for the design build, operation and financing of the Port which reduces initial capital expenditure at Santo Domingo by an estimated $250 million. PVSA strategy is to convert the approved port to a multi-user terminal capable of both shipping and receiving cargo. PVSA and Santo Domingo have coordinated and aligned their respective development schedules to match port operations with beginning of mine operations. The Agreement is based on proposed tariffs that are tied to an open-book costing model with a mutually agreed economic recovery model. At the time of full notice to proceed the tariffs will convert to a fixed recovery fee and a cargo throughput services fee. A prearranged rate discount has been agreed for any third-party roll-in additions to the port. Santo Domingo will guarantee a throughput commensurate with the economic recovery model for an agreed IRR. PVSA will have an option to purchase the facility outright subject to approval from environmental regulatory bodies.
