Big Savings in Budget Items
CAPEX 2017: $ 63 M - $ 71 M
CAPEX 2018: $ 48.2 M - $ 55.5 M
G&A 2017: $ 20 M - $ 22 M
G&A 2018: $ 18 M - $ 19 M
EXPLORATION 2017: $ 7 M - $ 9 M
EXPLORATION 2018: $ 10 M - 12 M (gain here but that is OK because see below:
HOLLISTER 2017 RAMP-UP: $ 10 M - $ 11 M
HOLLISTER 2018 RAMP-UP: Not an expense
Company is saving I would say conservatively $ 20 M USD to $ 23 M USD to achieve up to 202,000 oz at high point at same AISC, but with a higher spot price of gold.
2017 is a write off as mentioned; 2018 looks far brighter.

Let me re-phrase by taking midpoint of each range: CAPEX savings based on midpoint: $ 15.15 M G&A savings based on midpoint: $ 1 M Hollister Ramp-up savings: $ 10.5 M Only gain is under Exploration based on midpoint: + $ 3 M Therefore, NET Estimated Savings of all spend categories = $ 23,650,000 USD for 2018 JIN

Thanks Jin for breaking it out, I am just glad the got it out of the way, and looks promising going foward, now with the outlook of the PoG for this year as well as the guidance, I think the best times are ahead, I think they really try with TN, glad they got it offline sooner than later, thanks again brother for your comments.
