I have no idea about the costs for Metates... but Pensaquito was $334M for a 50,000 tons per day operations.

CKG suggest a rate of 70000 ton/day or 24M tons per year which would imply production of maybe 750,000+ ounces of gold equivalent (gold silver and zinc) per year based on a conservative 60% recovery rate. That is assuming the average grade is 1.6 g/t gold equivalent. So we may expect higher costs.

-Of course Randy would sell before the mine is built

That is my understanding. He is not a mine builder. I am hoping for a scenario that will ressemble FGX.
