In June it was reported that:
"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 "


(From the June 23, 1998 update)

How do these number "Jive" with the 3.77 oz? does it means that now we have all these goodies and about 120 gr/ton of Rh?

If your numbers are correct, forget about profitability anytime soon. The weekly costs are $15,000 or so, and the "chemical costs are $232 per ton". At .05 oz/ton, you get $20 (give or take $10) per ton of goodies, and that does not even cover the cost of the chemicals, forget about the overhead of $15,000 per week.

This company is doing more damage to itself by continuously changing the story, and the story changes mostly downward (except the Rh if it is a number per ton, of course).
