RE:NGU = could you look at your calculations

RE:NGU = could you look at your calculations The assumptions are not realistic.  We don't get paid for metal in the ground.  We get paid a net smelter return after all costs, including refining.

Some problematic assumptions:
  • Orebody Grade.  The orebody grade is not 2%.  The grade of the mining reserve is 1.85%.  Including the current resource estimate, the grade is 1.59%.  This is a 10% to 25% reduction in revenue.
  • Concentrator Recovery.  The concentator recovery is currently 85%, not 90%.  This is a 5% reduction in revenue.
  • Waste Dilution in Mining.  Waste dilution is hard to estimate.  Most open stope mines, waste dilution is 10% to 20%.  Assume 15% dilution with low grade in the waste.  This is a 10% to 15% reduction in revenue.
  • Cost.  Revenue of $2/lb over all in cost has no basis.  The mining/millling/GA cost is between $43 and $53 per ton from the feasibility study.  This is very optimistic.  We will need a few years of data before we know the real all in cost.
  • Smelter Cost.  There are transportation costs, refining and smelter costs, smelter recovery, and smelter penalties.  This could easily be a 10% to 15% reduction in revenue.
This all results reduces the NotGNU revenue estimate in the order of 35% to 60%, not including the currently unknown mining cost.
