It probably increases the cost of a ton processed from $6-8 (leached) to $10-14 (milled) or somewhere in there, depending on the mill rate. Raises the cut-off grade and lowers the tonnage, through-put and ounces produced. Capital costs of a milling operation are much higher which will impact the IRR calculation. The resource announced still doesn't say what the mineable tonnage and grade are.
