Does anybody out there know off of the cuff how many Kw-hrs it takes
to plate out a lb of copper?

I think these napkin calculations depend on how many ounces per ton
can be recovered.

Your calculations are using AuRIC's stated value of what they
believe GPGI's head ore is worth., $1,500 to $2,000.

I am using somewhere between 3.5 and 7 oz. of goodies recovered
per ton of head ore.

I agree this needs to scale up but I also think this is significant
progress as AuRIC's letter states they can accept immediate
delivery of GPGI's dore metal.
