Recoverable Copper Alone Worth Over $100 million ?2014 PEA reported a total resource of 10,634,764 tonnes grading 0.17% copper. Assuming a very conservative recovery rate of 65%, a copper price of $3.00 (it's over that today), and a US/CAN dollar exchange rate of $1.30 CAN for US$1.00, I calculate a value of over $100.8 million.
Add that to the value of the silver, zinc and lead resource and it's looking like the total value of the recoverable metals for the Bilbao deposit is well over half a billion dollars at today's commodity prices.
I wonder what kind of price they could get for such a valuable deposit.
