Richard,

Always the optimist ;). Let's look at Globals' statement again:

"It is also too early for Global to be able to offer a reliable estimate of the quantity of head ore required to produce a given quantity of metal. Those figures will be available at such time as we stabilize production."

From the June 25/98 release based on a 9 ton production run:

"1 ton of screened ore produced:

Platinum..........28.79 grams @ $355 = $340.58
Gold...................6.......grams @ $295 = $58.98
Rhodium.........24.79..grams @ $640 = $528.77
Palladium..........8.26..grams @ $297 = $ 81.77

Total metal prices................................ $1,010.10"



Looks to me like Global is now saying they are not sure how much ore will produce a given quantity of metals. Pretty hard to project cash flow when the end result is variable.
