The average grades for ore at the Ying mine are richer than any mine I have been to. The silver grade measures 1,400 grams per metric ton, 34% lead and 10% zinc. With current prices of $14 silver, $1.50 zinc and $.53 lead the gross metal value is about $1350 worth of gross metal value. Assuming 90% recovery and about 72% pay from the smelter, Silvercorp stands to gross about $875 per ton. Their mining costs run about $45 per ton so you might reasonably conclude they are going to be making money hand over fist.
