Myfreedom, the agreement signed has the marble company paying for all costs following extraction, so gas etc. are irrelevant to the costs for CCB

Message #5405 from Myfreedom58 at 12/7/2015 5:45:43 PM Chief wrote - "2) The marble was sent to a company in Montreal who did all the polishing etc. They have done this for a very long time. The average "higher cost across NORTH AMERICA is $7.00 a ton, the Lower is $2.50 a ton, for a company to cut and move FOB the quarry." Perhaps the reason this little gem has not appeared in any official statement is it makes no sense. Even at today's low prices, it would cost more than $7 a ton in gas just to drive it off the site to the factory - not including the driver's time. $2.50 a ton would barely get the truck out of the factory to the quarry, if there actually was a quarry. . Myfreedom58, please stop using facts and logic when dealing with Chief. You'll just confuse him. Maybe Chief can tell us the net profit to Canada Marble Inc. per ton shipped from the Miller site? A cubic meter of marble weighs 2.78 tonnes. So Chief is saying the cost is $7 x 2.78 = $19.47 per cubic meter. I am not a marble quarry expert but that cost "to cut and move" ready for pickup seems a tad low to me. The man-hour labour costs alone would exceed that amount. I stand to be corrected by somebody who can enumerate the steps and "all in" net costs involved. Have a go at it Chief.
