No, El Susie is a better deposit as much of the gold is free and comes off the front of the circuit by way of a gravity table. Dorado has a better location with respect to tailings disposal. They are about the same size with respect to net revenue over the life of the mine with BAY having somewhat higher operating costs per tonne mainly due to the metallurgy. Also the strip ratio of BAY increase dramatically after year 5 or so while El Susie is roughly the same throughout. Present value of El Susie is higher.
