RE:Only post I read at SI was yours chief Gee yur thick so I will try to help
75000 tons for $13.75 million contract = 75000/260 days= 288 tons per day. I rounded up to 300 I believe.
So $184.00 is what contract pays. so subtract $25 for cutting and loading "per ton".
That leaves $160
$160 x300= $48,000 per day.... are you following so far?
The mill feed, the road aggregate I took a guess at because its dependant on grade we are processing or number of tons contractor needs for roads. So figured we would sell maybe $6000 worth, not much in large scheme of things.
Graphite.
We are shooting for 5000 tons per year but figure year one, we likely do 1000 tons.
I then took 1000 tons X Incdicative pricing letter ($12-14000) and get $13,000,000
Am I going to fast for you?
Now I figure because we float at 99.8% the leap to 99.9998% in a furnace is not that costly.
The erroneous costs associated with Thermal are because the people trying it were trying to roast crud that was at best 90-94% So it took alot of time.
We have to roast enough to remove 2% impuritires.
So I think float will be $700-$1600 per ton based on a mix of 30%Cg with ,53% etc.
The cost to toast it my guess no more then $1200-1500
If Bruce and Olga can do that, I would gladly pay them a $1million a year
