Take a look to this for calcularting:
Profit = revenue - (total) costs, where Revenue = tonnes x grade x (1-mining dilution) x recovery x payability x price - (Royalties + streams) Costs include: Mining, processing, admin, corporate O/H, selling, permitting, exploration, marketing, financing, tax & legal.
Its very simple. You should calculate profit on a unit basis (Per tonne milled and per tonne/ounce/pound payable) and ALSO on a total per month/quarter/year basis. A good sign of a profitable mine is one which reports a profit without having to do fancy financial gymnastics.
Things like COC, EBITDA and AISC can be very misleading. Always go back to first principles and look at what might be missing. Its TOTAL cost that is important & if your REV is not enough to cover this, something needs to change and change fast or your Co. is going one way
