Designz, you are right - in the event of a large resource and a weak infrastructure it is likely that a major would have to step forward.... but Im cool with that too!
10m tonnes is is worth 30 bucks a share...... less say $250m costs to access the mine and ramp it up to 1m tonnes per annum....so we would have to settle for $23 per share
5m tonnes is worth a lot less as the $250m would be a fixed cost...... so say $8 per share
just to put that 5m tonnes figure in perspective... we are already 1/6th of the way there and if my hunch is right, we will have a 5m tonne resource defined before the year is out
exciting times indeed
