The mineral rights to the Berg Aukas project and surroundings are held by China Africa Resources Namibia (CARN). Weatherly International Plc requested for an updated study with updated metal prices, capital and operating costs for the project in 2018. The updated study estimated that the NPV has increased to US$74M post-tax and that the post-tax IRR has increased to 35%. These outcomes were estimated using a zinc price of US$3260 per tonne, a lead price of US$2,490 per tonne and an exchange rate of 12.9 NAD/USD. No value was attributed to the vanadium content. The total capital cost estimated was US$54.1M. In 2022, Consolidated Copper became project managers.
