Any guesses what the complete All-in costs will be per lb?

Any guesses what the complete All-in costs will be per lb?What will be the full cost of a lb of copper be for IVN?  (Average across all their mines.)   I mean cash costs, plus the initial capital, plus the sustaining capital, plus the interest costs, plus any royalties.  Also, what kind of tax rate will IVN have to pay?

I know that only looking at the cash cost is very deceptive.  Pretty often these other costs equal or exceed the cash cost, depending on the operation.

I realize that we can only take educated guesses at this early stage.  I am guessing $.50 cash costs plus $.40 other costs for a total cost/lb of $.90.  I don't know how much tax they will pay.

Any guesses/opinions would be appreciated.  Thanks!
