Claude, how can abx lose on Pierina .... assuming [as per abx releases]
- 750mil ozs X [290 - 50 = 240] = $US180mil/annum

900mil ........ acquisition cost
180mil? ....... carrying costs [3 yrs @ 6%]
300mil? ....... development costs
_______
1380mil <------------- 180mil/annum for 20 yrs covers this pretty well, imho

And it ignores the current multi-decade low for the PoG, the likelihood of continued expansion of the proven resources on aqp properties, and the fact that they actually sell for 400+/oz

If they turn a 'paper loss', it is imho because they play with the paper overmuch.
