From what I understand mining costs on average in 1997 was $266 per ounce and on a downtrend. They closed one of their mines in Australia due to cost of production was in the vicinity of $310 per ounce. They mined 250,000 ounces of gold last year. They hope, as the price of gold invariably recovers, to increase production to 500,000 ounces per year. At the present time, known reserves can produce gold at least another 10 to 15 years, perhaps longer, but I defer to other knowledgeable investors on this thread for a more accurate response. They also have a top team of mining experts that sell their services on a consulting basis. Not only is this another avenue to raise revenues,but it gives one confidence that they have the aptitude to streamline their own mining costs and enhance profitability.
