Maintenance, My Man!!

HELP!!! I can't understand how Kaiser can come up with figures
for WSP multiple times higher than yours, and CC can come up with
a $5 target figure with the smaller 3.5 mil tonnes. So, I went
to Yorkton's NPV analysis of Aber and started to do the same for
WSP before getting hopelessly snarled up. Perhaps you can look at
my figures and point me in the right direction, or see if
you want to reevaluate you figures...or better yet do a chart
like this and finish it properly--- anyone else is welcome to post
some figures, too!

Assumptions: 1.WSP has 68% of the project 2. There is 10.5 mil
tonnes of kimberlite @ $381/tonne 3. ??? years to payback
4. G&A at $1.5 mil /yr [Yorkton doesn't seem to have anywhere
to put in G&A in their spreadsheet] 5. 7% costs for marketing
and royalties (???)6. taxes at 45% after payback 6. ??? capital
expenditure- if $103 mil. for 3.5 mil. tonnes- how many for 10.5??
7. 30 years to mine everything
As you see, I'm already in hot water with all the ????. Anyway..

100% of Project:
2001
Reserves: 10.5 mil.
Productivity: 350k
Gross Rev. $133.35 mil.
less 7%for
marktg.&royl. 9.335 mil
NET REV $124.015 mil.

Operating
cost per yr. 30.5 mil.
op. profit 93.5 mil
cap expend. ????
cash flow
before tax ?????

WSP: 68%
NPV with discount rate figured in:___________

Doesn't it seem that WSP's earnings once things get going would
be at least a buck a share? With a p/e of say, 10, wouldn't
that support a price of at least $10??

Other questions that come up for me:
1. If WSP isn't going to be the operator, what happens? Does
WSP have to sell the project to someone, or will they hire a
contractor to to the mining? If they have to sell, what kind
of discounted price can they get? Of course, Aber has a big
say in that, eh?

2. How do they finance the project? Stock or debt or both?
