Scott and all. Here is my spreadsheet whereby I came up with my numbers.
I only used 50 tons per day because the numbers get too big.
I put in several assumptions (the biggest is that the values of the
samples continue)including the following assumptions: refiner
costs are similar to those previously used by GPGI, Operating
costs (chemicals & other operating costs) are similar to those
previously used by GPGI and monthly overhead at 50 ton per day
level is $38,000.
"Net to GPGI/oz" is the oz per ton x the mkt value per oz less the refiner cost per oz.
Annual profit at 50 ton per day is:
("Net to GPGI" less $500) x 50 tons x 5 (days/week) x 50 weeks minus ($38,000 x 12).

Market Net Less Annual Profit
Silver Gold Plat Pall Rhod Value to $500.00 at 50t/day
Mkt value/oz $5.00 $290.00 $360.00 $350.00 $875.00 GPGI Operating
Refiner cost/oz $0.70 $3.00 $14.00 $10.00 $100.00 Costs after deducting
Net to GPGI/oz $4.30 $287.00 $346.00 $340.00 $775.00 Per ton monthly OH
of $38,000

Scott & all: correction to my post # 10013 where I said I used 50 weeks in my calculation in the spreadsheet - I had in fact used 52 weeks.

Also for some reason my hand calculator comes up with slightly different numbers (tens of thousands different) than the spreadsheet probably due to the effects of rounding.

Regards,
Bob
