Seabridge Initial Capex: $5312M
Operating Costs: $13.81/tonne
One of the large expenses for Seabridge is the tunnels that they will require for ore transportation and water diversion. Copper Fox will not require tunnels so we have some savings there. After removing some of the costs associated with the tunnels, Seabridge's capex comes in around $4B. As far as operating costs go, I think Seabridge and Copper Fox will be quite similar. Seabridge has the advantage of high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) whereas we have the advantage of a geographically friendly site layout.
