Jimsy, I feel like the guy who packed in the Tiger Hedge
funds. I don't know how to value things in todays market.

FWIW here is a recent MRDI prefeasibility calculation on a
rich little gold mine.

The additional adits are essential in the evaluation of
this high-grade vein structure as drilling alone will not
define the grade sufficiently accurately. The project has
currently defined 425,000 ounces in the "indicated"
and "inferred" categories in a limited part of a geological
resource of 1.8 million ounces, which has a significant
potential for further expansion.

A March 1999 pre-feasibility study by MRDI (H.A. Simons)
estimated for a production rate of 500 tonnes per day and a
gold price of US$300/ounce, the following:

NPV (10%) US$39.8 million
IRR 51%
Capital cost US$19.8 million
Payback 1.8 years
Life of mine 7.2 years
Cash cost US$160/ounce
Production 148,000 ounces/year

Hope this helps.
