Net Smelter value = $7.80/ton (at .018 oz/t gold, and .22% Cu, at $310/oz gold and $.85 copper)

Costs according to Royal Oak own figures = $6.00/ton (before taxes and capital payback).

So profit at 50,000 tons/day = $80,000/day = $29 million/year (before taxes and capital payback).

As the payback of interest and principle will be over $30 million/year, Kemess will lose at least $1 million/year at $310/oz gold and $.85/pound copper.

This same equation would need to be redone for gold at $325/oz. When it reaches that level I will post the equation.
