Anyone know what the comparative diesel costs will be for Florence? I can't imagine they will be anything like Gib
they are practically nil. No mining, no trucks, no material to haul except 99% pure copper cathode to the point of sale. Even then, the customer might pick it up. That is one thing that many do not understand about Florence and the insitu process. There is little inflation exposure. The cost of chemicals will be fairly significant, but that can be recycled. Wage inflation will impact, but the cost of trucks and fuel will be virtually non-existent.
If they really want to go green, they can install a solar array over the wells to run the pumps. Arizona has plenty of sunshine.
