Thanks for that but if i looked at the balance sheet and the revenue statement of a pure SA producer would I be able to get a sense that labor was being employed because it were cheaper than capital to maintain or increase the present value of the cash flow? At what depreciation rate does capital replace labor and is this even possible give the mining reality of these deposits?
