Thanks for the Numbers

Thanks for getting back to me with the numbers. I had never heard of minecost for figures. It sounds like its for serious research, but there is still some accesible stuff worth looking at.

As you may gather, I don't feel that this property represents good dollar value at the current market price. With the information provided, the metals in the rock are only worth about $ 12 which assumes 100 % recovery. I can't recall the company figures provided but it was substantially less. I don't know what the costs are for processing, but I assume its high. At today's metal prices, I don't think this project is economic even with the infrastructure in place. With 16 M shares, the market is valuing it at 32 M$. They apparently only have 1 M$ in the bank and I think they will find future funding difficult.

I maybe wrong on this, especially if future exploration finds some high grade zones. I only point this out so that other more economic projects may be used for comparison for your dollar.

I personally don't know what value I would put on it. It only caught my attention as it started to take off. I just know know that anything over $ 1 would make me very uncomfortable - especially with all the other opportunites out there.
