Well, Denis, it would seem whatever could bring us over that extraction and processing cost level would be profitable. ;)

If you have, say, a value of $100-/ct and a $12-/tonne cost to openpit mine, one might logically deduce that a consistent grade of +0.12ct/tonne is getting there. Of course marketability and other factors come into play, but for current purposes this seems reasonable to cogitate. - A higher stone value (quite plausible) would make the minimum cpt for feasibility even lower! Alberta is one logistically accommodating environment.

Just musing!
