RE: NEWSThunderhead
I think I read somewhere, or was told, that the site prep and ore crushing and haulage costs came to about $2 million. That would work out to about $40/tonne for the bulk. I don't know if that would include milling and smelting costs.
I don't think it does.
IMHO, the only costs that we don't have anymore is the site prep. Crushing and haulage would certainly be in the $1 million range for every 50,000 tonnes. The other $1 million (permits, closure plan, ponds etc which is only my estimate)are no longer a factor if they get paid out of the initial bulk payment.
not bad for a little mining company.
