Kalesay deposit valuation/ projections RE: Kalesay deposit valuation, i ran some preliminary numbers by an industry expert and he indicated the following revenue projections and comments
11,701 metric tonnes BeO x 2200lbs /mt
X $100 us / lb BeO - use this price for bulk transactions
= $2.57 billion U.S value.
That is the amount of money (revenue) that can be made mining and selling in bulk
The price of beryllium has doubled since the late 1990's
99%+ be metal is expensive to purify, therefor the few companies that have the facility to do it charge a high premium ie. $700+ us / lb
Hard to source pricing but a while back Brush Wellman sold 4.4 metric tonnes of 99%+ pure be metal for $720 us / lb to the joint european torus (JET)
