Sign InCentral Asia Metals PLC (CAML) saw its share price plummet by approximately 20% to 191.1p following a significant update regarding its Sasa zinc-lead mine. The company announced that a comprehensive review of the Svinja Reka reserve and resource has led to a new life-of-mine plan. This revised plan reduces the expected operational lifespan of the mine by five years, with operations now projected to end in 2034. As a direct consequence of this shorter lifespan, the company expects to record a non-cash impairment charge of up to $120 million. Investors reacted sharply to the news, which signals a substantial reduction in the long-term asset value and future revenue potential of the firm's core operations.
