American Sands Energy Corp. Announces Update of Project and Mine Feasibility Studies

07.11.2014  |  PR Newswire

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- American Sands Energy Corp. (OTCBB: AMSE, "AMSE" or the "Company"), an oil sands exploration and development company operating in Utah, is pleased to report the completion of a new Project Feasibility Study, including a Class IV estimate of capital and operating costs, undertaken by FLSmidth USA, Inc. (which supersedes a previous study by AMEC BDR) and the issuance of an updated Mine Plan and Cost Study by Mine Engineers Inc..

"The updating and completion of these feasibility studies is an important step for AMSE as we move forward with our business strategy," said William C. Gibbs, Company CEO. "The numbers provided by FLSmidth and Mine Engineers Inc., validate our business model and position the Company to be a lower cost producer of heavy oil starting in 2016."

The highlights from the feasibility reports include:

  • Capex estimates of $15,000 per flowing barrel at peak production; significantly below other unconventional projects.
  • Operating costs averaging under $40 per barrel of heavy oil produced over the first four years of production.
  • Maximum capacity of up to 9,000 barrels per day.

"With a total capital spend of $127M, AMSE will be able to produce over 9,000 barrels per day at peak production," Robin Gereluk, Company COO, stated. "From a competitive standpoint, there are few unconventional projects that can compete on a cost basis with our technology and extraction methodology. Additionally, our lack of tailings ponds and production of reclamation ready sand differentiates us from the vast majority of all other oil projects in North America."

American Sands is currently in the permitting process with the Utah Division of Oil, Gas & Mining and expects to be in production in 2016.
