Deep Mines Ltd. of Saskatchewan is contemplating the purchase of equipment to exploit a mineral deposit located on land to which the company has mineral rights. An engineering and cost analysis has been made, and it is expected that the following cash flows would be associated with opening and operating a mine in the area. Cost of new equipment and timbers = $212,000 Working capital required = $78,000 Net annual cash receipts = $96,000 Cost to construct new roads in three years = $33,000 Salvage value of equipment in four years $50,000 *Receipts from sales of ore, less out of pocket costs for salaries, utilities, Insurance and so forth. It is estimated that the mineral deposit would be exhausted after four years of mining. At that point, the working capital would be released for reinvestment elsewhere.
