Ore and rock trucks and another way to think about Ore If we took a 150 tonne haul truck and loaded it up in 10 minutes with a nice little 8000 shovel, in the 5 gptpteq ore the value of that 1 load of "rock" would be more than $30,000. 15 loads per shift, two shifts a day. 1 150 tonner would be 900,000 a day in "rock" to the plant. Even if we took the average 2 gptpteq ( which neglects cobalt and rhodium and friends) we would have $90 a tonne or 13,500 per load which is still 405,000 cdn per day per truck. Or think about a 20,000tpd mill. times 90 dollars a tonne four our 2gptpteq is 1.8 million or at 5 gptpteq its 4 million per day.
