As Fuddy said:
Why don't you "give it a shot" and give us a net profit estimate for the your Miller project?
Assumptions for Year 2-5
1) Recurring and increasing marble sales
2) Increasing production of Graphite at 99.9998%
3) Selected for test in one or more Pebble reactors
Marble-$160 per ton
Crushed Marble $30 per ton
Crushed Marble after float $10-$20 per ton
Powder $20 per ton
Number of tons processed in a day
Architectural Marble @500 tons = $80,000 per day
Crushed Marble @200 tons per day =$6000
Crushed Marblefloat @ 250 tons per day= $5000
Powder from saw cutting is a binding agent for cement @ 10 cubic meters per day ~$1000
Total Daily revenue used as "Credits" toward Graphite Production $91,200 per day
Total Yearly Revenue based on a 260 day year $91,200X 260= $23,712,000 a year
Costs to extractMarble
$10 per ton or $25 per cubic meter for pillars and or slabs
$0 for crushed Marble because the contractor crushes for free to get the Marble at $30 per ton
Crushing costs for Graphitic Marble $0 because contractor does all crushing for free to get to the road marble but lets say the net cost back is $30 per ton and Zero out the profit completely
Total Daily revenue used as "Credits" toward Graphite Production $91,200 per day
Graphite cost per ton to bring to 99.8% float $700-$1600 per ton depending on grade processed
Trucking Concentrate to Ashbury $20 per ton
Furnace to bring 99.8% to 99.9998% purity $1200-$1500 per ton
Costs for 99.9998% material max $3100 per ton
Sale price per ton $35000 per ton
Production of graphite year 3 =5000 tons @ $35,000US per ton= $175,000,000 US which is at present exchange rates about $240,000,000 Canadian.
Total Revenue Graphite Year 3 $240,000,000 if ordered by US Gov
Total Cost to produce Graphite year 3 -$15,100,000
Total Revenue from Marble Year 3 $23,712,000
Total Revenue for year 3 --------------- $249,000,000 Canuck
If you do not like these numbers, then question ZENs price sheet please, because thats what I am using.
Yes its a little hard to believe but if you are niche'd like we hope and EXPECT to be. Then selling 5000 tons from the surface of miller, will result in larger revenues then digging to the center of the earth for ZEN.
Our Capex/..........$25-30million maybe, it depends on whether Bruce wants a Garage at Asbury AND Miller for the Bentley or the personal Helicopter, the Opex is paid out of the revenue from Marbleous Marble.
This estimate does not include the opulent homes in both locations for his Emminence and his lovely wife.
Changes may have to be made from Personal Helicopter to landing strips for the G3
Please check the numbers I did this quickly. |
