In your first post you state >---$630 /ton in cash costs exclusive of salaries and other sundry items< In your documentation the reference to fixed overhead includes salaries etc.
Based on the figures you used the net for 15 tons per day would come to $187,604 less $200 per ton for refining costs which at 324 tons per month would = $64,800. So the bottom line would be $122,804.
Not bad per month for starters. 15 tons per day is a miniscule fraction of the ultimate production level.
Now, chemical costs at $75,168 per month will be lowered considerably not only by economies of scale, but by finessing the processing procedure which is now underway. Initial costs in start up operations are always excessive.
Refining fees will also come down considerably as larger volumes are sent to Sabin. Similarly, labor costs will also come down as the procedures become rationalized and to some extent possibly computerized. Again, there is always much waste until procedures are fully developed.
I, and all other investors, I am sure, will be very happy with $100,000 net per month to start with.
