Liz:

I used a simple, approximate, and probably very unscientific method -- adjusting the grades of the relative metals according to their current cash prices.

Thus, 1 ton of ore at 1.0 percent Cu contains $16.50 of metal (at 75 cents per pound), whereas 1 ton of 1.0 percent zinc contains $11.00 of metal (at 50 cents per pound). Therefore, multiply the zinc grades by 11/16.5 = 0.67 to get Cu equivalent. The same process for lead, gold and silver....

Bruce or Claude can probably tell us if this is an acceptable approximation.

And I've no idea what a net smelter return is <g>.

Howy
