Most of it is working in our favor right now, except Moly & possibly production numbers. This being said, higher metal prices, lower opex and optimization could compensate. If they attack the pit with better initial grades and recoveries, a higher output in the first years will be key to the NPV.
I still think that between 3B and 4B US (NPV 8%) is possible.

Some of the above numbers are calculated/estimated to the best of my knowledge.
IMO.
