It took Victoria 9 years to go from a pre-feasibility study to first pour. Permitting is more onerous now too with Federal environment assessments.
In today's dollars, it would cost almost a billion dollars to build Victoria. How much would it cost to build a BYN mine in 5 years?
VG has its own $265 million in debt and the cost of servicing the debt has jumped in the past year. If all goes well, it will take until 2025 to pay it off. That has to be their sole focus.
I agree totally MVARGAS and no one is even talking about the higher AISC costs due to the fact that BYN is a lower grade deposit
