Ed,
Before I answer your question,there is something I'd like to clarify. I have just about had it with the cheap shots on this thread. If you gentlemen want a pissing match, then I will gladly give you one, just say the word. I have tried to mind my manners, but enough is enough. Anyway, here is were I get my number from:
June 25/98 release
(10 -tons / day (15-tons / day = 216 ton / month) = 324 ton / month)
Metal value $218,181 $327,272 Chemical cost <50,112> <75,168> Fixed overhead <43,000> <64,500> Profit before refining fees $125,069 $187,604
From this I extrapolate chemical costs @ $232/T and fixed mill costs of $199/T
From the July 14/98 release:
. Global estimates, from the proposal, that refining fees will approximate $200 per ton of ore.
Therefore, adding the chemical, fixed mill, and refining costs,respectively we get: $232 + $199 + $200= $631 per ton cash costs. I was out $1.00, I apologize. Did I miss something?
