I wonder why SP is tanking?

Ryan King, VP Corporate Development specifically addresses two things:
1. How much they're paying to haul each ton, the equivalent gram per ton cost and the long-term contract I mentioned. You can also find the $0.10 per KM figure quoted on page 7 of their presentation.
2. That there were hedge funds speculating on CXB's GDXJ inclusion expecting to execute a block trade (at a profit) with Van Eck for the 10 million+ shares they eventually bought. It sounds like Ryan said the block trade didn't happen so these short-term speculators sold out. The TSX infosuite let's companies see who owns their shares, who is making anonymous trades, etc.. it sounds like Ryan is tracking that data.
You can look at the grade of reserves and resources here:

Don't just look at the sub-totals.. for example in the Limon Indicated resource table they include low grade stockpile and tailings which bring the blended grades down for what is a tiny fraction of the overall resources at Limon.
And if you want a sense of how much quarterly production is from local resources at the hubs vs the spokes (e.g. Pavon and how much of Limon ounces are part of the "spoke" model being hauled to Libertad) just read the quarterly production news releases. Here's Q1 2021:
https://calibremining.com/news/calibre-reports-strong-first-quarter-2021-producti-2787/
The punchline is that only 21% of tonnes milled in Q1 2021 came from spokes. The remaining 79% are not beholden to transport costs as they're effectively local to the mills.
Overtime, the % of tonnes milled from spokes will probably rise as Pavon ramps up and more ore is hauled to Libertard... and further down the road when Eastern Borosi comes online... but when you consider 74% of the inferred ounces at Eastern Borosi there are grading anywhere from 5.73 to 12.74 grams per ton and the overall blended grade of the underground resource is 6 g/t, transportation costs really don't matter. The lower grade open pit (representing 11% of the inferred Ozs at 1.98 g/t) probably wouldn't make sense to haul to Libertad, but funny enough, Calibre has a joint venture that's planning to build a small-scale mill close by to the open pit resource:

I don't know enough about the proposed mill to know if it could process the lower grade open pit rocks, but I'd bet that if the company chooses to mine the 1.98 g/t open pit at Eastern Borosi in the future, they'll toll it through the joint venture mill next door while hauling the high grade underground rock to Libertad.
