What reasons can you give to support your assertion that Kemess be cash positive.

Please don't quote Royal Oaks numbers. Stick to the basics :

Rock mechanics
Striping ratios
Crushing
Throughput
Metallurgy
Milling
Concentration
Seperation
Flotation

I am unfamiliar with these processes but I understand that to make the argument that Kemess is economic would require them. If you provide an answer I will endeavor to debate it.

My reasons against are:

A) Low Grade
B) Low Commodity prices
C) Rock Hardness
D) Used equipment

Thankyou in advance for your consideration of the issue.

-Respectfully littleguy, Michael Bidder
