Nice trick question Joe, I bet you had to think about it for awhile.
There is only one mine North of sixty for diamonds that one could get figures for EKATI. It is a big mine, put in by a big company and they put in big bucks because they wanted a big flag ship operation.
Its akin to taking the biggest most expensive gold mine anywhere in the world and saying, hey no one can build a viable mine for less.
Your logic and numbers simply dont work.
You know it, (I hope) I know it and anyone with a wit of intelligence about the buisness knows it.
Face it Joe you shot yourself in both feet with "IT TAKE A HALF BILLION to build a mine and/or you need ore worth $2000 a ton."
Its a little like saying GEE it cost GM 75 million to design a new car and a billion to put it into product so no one could design or build a car for less.
Each mine is a unigue situation they vary in price from a few million on up, profits depend on costs vs grade vs recovery.
Think about it a bit.
regards Walt
