If NAG is considering offers on this property then what would be an appropriate offer? Consider the following chart from their Aug 18 news release:
Table 2: Contained Metal Amounts Calculated from Resource Estimates at 0.25% Copper Equivalent Cut-Off---------------------------------------------------------------------------Resource Category Tonnes Grade Contained Metal(i)---------------------------------------------------------------------------Indicated 6,000,000 0.214% Cu 28,300,000 lbs Cu--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6,000,000 0.006% Mo 780,000 lbs Mo--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6,000,000 0.20 g/tonne Au 39,000 oz Au--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6,000,000 0.98 g/tonne Ag 189,000 oz Ag---------------------------------------------------------------------------Inferred 141,000,000 0.234% Cu 727,600,000 lbs Cu--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 141,000,000 0.009% Mo 27,900,000 lbs Mo--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 141,000,000 0.23 g/tonne Au 1,040,000 oz Au--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 141,000,000 0.94 g/tonne Ag 4,260,000 oz Ag
If you just consider the indicated resource then 28,300,000 lbs Cu @ $3.30/lb = $93,330,000.
780,000 lbs Mo @ $15/lb = $11,700,000.
39,000 oz Au @ $1200/oz =$46,800,000.
189,000 oz Ag @ $18/oz = $3,402,000.
Total $155,232,000.
These numbers do not reflect production costs. However they do paint a picture of significant resources for NAG . Any offer should be significant to propel the share price. IMHO
