I couldn't agree with you more. Anyone who thinks you are a professional needs more help than you do.>>>

Thank you Al. Some people will use professionalism to mislead. I don't have that worry.

As per RYO .22%CUx82%recovery=3.96lbs./ton
.016oz./ton aux78%recovery=.0125oz./ton

Copper: 3.96lbs/ton x 0.80$/lb = 3.168$/ton
Gold: .0125oz/ton x 285$/oz = 3.562$/ton

Total Rev/ton = Gold + Copper = $6.73/ton
=============================================

Debt Cost/ton = $3,000,000 month/1,500,000tons/month = $2.0 ton
================================================================

I can't find Royal's figure for cash cost/ton. I think it was aproxamatly $7.00 /ton.

Assuming $7.00 cc/ton + $2.00 debt cost/ton = $9.0 total cost/ton.

$7.0 Rev/ton - $9.0 total cost/ton = -$2.00 ton.
================================================

This implies that the Kemess operation is losing $100,000/day or $3 Million/month. If this is true then my original speculations about the Kemess project were correct.

Note: I have little confidence in the $7.00 Cash Cost/ton number. It is an estimate.
