RE: To be..or not to be.... I don't believe Barrick is saying it is not worth mining and the feasibility study shows a significant NPV especially with gold at 1700.00. Barrick says it does not meet its investment criteria at the present because of the estimated 6.7 billion dollar initial capital investment. Nova is saying that number is a very conservative estimate and they are looking at ways to reduce costs.
The initial capital costs at GCU should be more in line with the costs at RR and other projects of similar size. I would expect something in the range of 750 million. Booyaaca you have raised a good point as this issue will ultimately make or break GCU. I vote for make.
Does anyone know the estimated capital cost for TRR ?
