RE:RE:New Press Release - Luca Mining Announces Major Exploration ProgramIn their investors presentation they state in slide 3:
2.7 mm oz Au Eq resources with upside.
As I understand it, this would be sufficient for 27 years if they produce 100 K AU Eq per year.
Therefore I think the goal is to find higher grades. Just an example:
Imagine, they are right now having a Gold Eq grade of 5 g per ounze. Imagine if they are finding something with 7.5 g Gold Eq per ounze. Their revenue would dramatically increase (while cost would nearly stay the same) and the profit would rise even higher
