RE:RE:The Lassonde CurveI don't have an issue with your numbers, and will give you the fact that mine are on the lower side, but that is because I based my post on the information that Laurion has publically released. Laurion has not publically stated the validation of 10M GEOs. The property of merit has qualified range of 0.1 - 8.7M GEOs, anything one assumes beyond that is just that, an assumption.
I asked Cynthia about it directly last summer and she replied that it was an ambitious target with no timeline and no, they were not there yet.
As to the rising price of gold, I dont think it quite translates to double as AISC costs have gone up in line with inflation, however this may be overstated.
As for optimism... I have plenty. We are near or at the bottom of the curve. It's a good time to dollar cost average down which I will be looking to do.
