Syncrude, at today's metal price, I have the following calculation:
It takes 59.2 ton to produce one ounce of gold,
total cost per ounce before copper credit
59.2 x $6.35(cash cost) + 103(capial cost) = $478.92
there are 4.8 x 59.2 x $0.8 = $227.33 copper credit
net cost after copper credit
478.92 - 227.33 = 251.59 which is approximately the current gold price. I don't think PDG will walk away after spending millions of dollar and the project would be a go when metal prices recover. regards/
